"Mark and Andrew did a GREAT job!!! They painted our Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen and ceilings. They did 2 coats of paint (Benjamin Moore) with 2 contrasting colors in the Dining Room. Mark really helped us in suggesting colors and finishes. In addition, we are going to have them do some more painting in our house!!"

"We hired James to stain our deck. He was invariably responsive, patient, and clear. And, equally if not more important, he did an excellent job! I plan to rehire James for future staining and painting jobs."

"Welerson, Daniel and the team at ABC Painting are fabulous. They are clean, organized, prompt and very professional. Welerson and Daniel stop by frequently to check on the progress of the job and to offer very valuable suggestions. I had them paint a room that was originally stained cedar panels. WOW, the transformation of this room is incredible. Thank you ABC Painting for a high quality job. I give them my highest recommendation."

"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"Chet and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our home. We had some very dark walls and a brown ceiling and I chose VERY light paint colors. I'm sure these areas were challenging to cover, but you can't even tell there used to be such dark colors in our home! The paint job is great and they were able to paint the entire interior of our home in 2 days. I would choose Silva Express Painting for any future painting jobs without hesitation again."

"Evolution Painting completed my deck, carpentry and painting project today. The team produced an extraordinary result. Multiple coats of oil based stain on the Mahogony deck look beautiful. The carpentry work was precise. The painting and color matching couldn't be better. Not only that, but they were the cheapest of all the five pros sent to me. I would absolutely recommend them. They even performed other services (like fixing my gutters and downspout) without cost. The final result is perfection in my eyes. I will upload some photos once its dry."

"We asked for estimates to stain the exterior of our house. Ozzy handled the estimate process the best of the three companies we contacted. He has a friendly, professional manner and his price was in line with the other quotes. Ed did the work and he worked very hard and was polite and very accommodating. Ozzy put in extra effort to get our color choice matched just right. He came to set up the job with Ed and returned to inspect when the job was done. Ozzy spent time painting areas he thought needed improvement, but we hadn't noticed. He then used a blower around the house and took the debris away -- a very nice extra touch! Will hire them again for our painting needs."

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.
