"M-Cor Painting did an outstanding job replacing our 20 year old outside rear deck. The team was quick, thorough and were very responsive to changes needed to make the deck whole and safe. M-Cor Painting cleaned up the work area and left us with near new 10 by 10 and 20 by 20 rear decks. The pricing on the wood needed to be replaced was competitive and thus made the total cost much lower than we projected. M-Cor also did two other cosmetic touch up jobs to our house at little or no cost. Bottom line: My wife and I cannot recommend M-Cor Painting for wood work, painting and staining."

"Ken Ortega's skill as a painter is top notch. He sanded and completely gel coated and sealed my 15 year old fiberglass front entry door and the accompanying wood window trim. The entry way now looks like it did when it was new. The entire project was completed in less than two days. Ken is a true professional and a perfectionist. He has earned my highest recommendation."

"Steve and his crew were prompt and finished our project in time. He even did a little extra and painted our side door to the garage as well as exterior fixtures (fuse box, dryer outflow chute, etc.) so that everything looked uniform and matched. He went back to the hardware store several times so that he could give us samples of stain we were happy with. We will definitely use Native Painting again!"

"I had five different companies come out and give quotes for my project and ultimately I hired Painting Bros and I cannot say enough positive things. Not only were they the most competitively priced quote but from the start working with Steve for the initial quote, he was not pushy at all but very friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the process and even offered a few different options for my overall project. The paint crew was top notch, they were very prompt, clean, courteous and respectful of my space and home. Painting Bros will be my go to recommendation for all my friends and family."

"Kyle was very polite and did such an amazing job custom painting my entire house!! He left no mess behind and was very efficient!!"
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.
