"G&L Painting has done both interior and exterior painting on my two story, stucco home. Both painting projects involved a color change. Earl Lewis took the time to listen to what I wanted, then made recommendations as to proper preparation and paint quality choices. He demonstrated respect for my property by laying out drop clothes and working cleanly. Everything turned out beautifully, as he promised."

"I am so happy we found LM Coatings! Luiz and his crew were so wonderful, and the quality of their work was fantastic. What started out as just painting the living room we found they could help us with painting our walls, installed new trim, removed our ugly carpet, and replaced it with LVP. They sanded and stained our staircase, replaced the railings, painted our front door, and installed shiplap to the open walls down the staircase. It was like a one-stop shop!! Luiz saved us time and money! They had everything completed in a timely manner and we couldnâ  t be more pleased with their professionalism and service! It feels like we are living in a new house!"

"We decided to hire Victor’s Team for a small painting project. It included the front door and side panels as well as staining 5 posts on the back of the house. The team arrived on time. They did spend a lot of time preparing the front door because of previous poor painting and several layer were sanded off. They pay attention to detail, excellent communication, and wonderful to work with. We will use them again. They also do drywall, carpentry, pressure washing etc. Sure glad we found Victor!"

"I hired Chris for a couple jobs. I had a customer at an Ethanol plant that needed a structure stripped and painted and it was pretty sizable, he did a fantastic job and in the time frame that I bid the job. My customer was extremely happy with his work as well as I. Another job he performed for me was a customer of mine in Omaha that had 4 interior rooms at his residence that he needed cleaned and painted, Chris did a wonderful job on them and went above and beyond to keep his work area clean when he was working and in-between the days he was off. I would Hire him back anytime but he has moved out of town. He would be an asset to anyone who would hired him!"

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.
Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.
Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.
You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.
Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.
Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
