"Joe and crew did a wonderful job on our 3000 square foot deck. The deck had been replaced by different contractor who really messed it up in two years we had warped boards, pooping nails and wood cracks Large ones. Joe came in replaced all the damaged parts, pressure washed everything including the backyard fencing and repainted two coats including the 300 spindles. The work was professionally done and it looks amazing. I would recommend Joe for any custom exterior work."

"It is very seldom that I post reviews. But I need to post when I know it will help others. I am all about quality and service. I couldnt be more happy with this company (and that says a lot coming from me). I would highly recommend them. In fact I am now going to be using them to paint and repair my entire exterior house, knowing I will get the same quality and service. I also expect to continue to use them as long as I live in this area. Thank you Mr. Gibbs!! I really, really appreciate all your help and great service!"

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.
