"Leo performed a power-cleaning on our driveway, sidewalk, and back patio. He helped us identify what was causing us some staining problems. He then painted these areas using high quality paint. Leo performed all Kolibri Painting tasks timely and quickly. We were quite pleased with his performance and highly recommend Kolibri for your needs."

"Dustin was extremely professional, responsive and trustworthy. I initially hired him and his company for interior painting, but based on the exceptional level of service, I asked him to do exterior painting as well. I live out of state and Dustin did all this work and communicated with me while I was away from the property. He treated it as his own. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of painting services!"

"Mike and his crew were very professional, considerate, and friendly. They got my house painted in one day. They did a GREAT job. It was a pleasure having them here for the day. It was very obvious that they all enjoy what they do and work well together. There was a lot of laughter throughout the day. I plan on using Mike and his crew for all my future painting needs. I high recommend them. Great job Mike, Trina, and the gang!"

"They showed up when they said they would. They're estimate was a lot lower than the other estimates I got. Matthew never hesitated to do whatever it took to make sure the job was done and done right. Old ceilings, leak Stains that needed repair.. He and his assistant did a fantastic job. Did all but one room and the kitchen and even did another handyman.Job for me which involved construction and painting. Again did all of it in two days for a great price."

"We are very pleased with the quality of the painting and the professionalism of the Nelson Brothers. They were punctual, pleasant to talk to, cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day and they finished the job in the time that they quoted. Their pricing was reasonable and there were no surprises of extra charges. We will definitely use them for future painting needs."

FAQs for painting projects in Malabar, FL

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.
