"The PaintAsheville team was very professional during our first meeting and explained in detail their process. They made recommendations regarding product and coloring, as well as a contractor to repair siding prior to paint. In addition, Crystal (one of the owners) assisted us with stain samples that helped finalize a color and finish. The painting crew was on-time, courteous and very responsive to questions and requests. We are extremely happy with the results. Overall, the PaintAsheville team delivered a superior product for a very competitive price. Weâ ll definitely consider them for any future painting projects!"

"This is our second time to use custom painting, and they were just as great as the last time. They are very professional, careful, with tremendous attention to detail. I could not be happier and strongly endorse them for any type of painting, both inside and outside."

"R7 Painting did a fantastic job painting my house and staining my deck! They power washed everything first, then prepped in advance of painting. My deck had a few areas that needed to be replaced, so they did that as well. The workmen showed up promptly each morning and cleaned up each evening. All in all they did an A+ job. I have gotten many compliments on my newly painted house and have recommended them on our neighborhood website."

"Calico painting recently painted the interior and exterior of our home, and from start to finish I honestly canâ t imagine a better experience. Luis and his team were incredibly professional and communicative - always showing up on schedule, giving accurate time estimates of how long projects would take, responding promptly when we called or texted, and letting us know if there were changes or questions came up. Their work was meticulous, beautiful, and efficient. When unexpected water damage wreaked havoc partway through the project, they jumped right in on the repairs to help keep things on schedule. Throughout our fairly extensive renovation we often commented that Luis was the best person we worked with because he was SO reliable, a great communicator, and his teamâ s work was always high quality. They did beautiful plaster repair, wood staining, cabinets, interior paint, exterior paint, and even some woodworking for us. Luis also helped us troubleshoot issues with other subcontractors on our project. We loved working with Calico Painting, will absolutely be calling Luis for more projects in the future and have already recommended him to friends."

"We have had great experiences with Colorful Mountain! We originally hired them to paint the interior of our house which was no easy task. We have a two-story craftsman style home with LOTS or wood beams, etc. They are great communicators, on-time and schedule, and didn’t go over their original quote, did a fantastic job and were much more reasonably priced then other companies (stay away from One Day Painters!). We then hired them to replace some wood posts on our porch. Again, they did an excellent job. We will definitely hire this company again!"

"Jesse and his crew did an excellent job repairing and staining my weather-worn deck and small front porch. They meticulously cleaned and sanded all surfaces first. They then applied stain with paint pads - steady and unrushed. Not only did they do an outstanding job of transforming my deck, but I can t imagine a more pleasant group to have on site. I highly recommend Summerlin Exterior Solutions."

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.
