"We want to thank St. Charles Painting and Remodeling for the exceptional job they did rebuilding and staining our cedar fence. This was a complex project involving replacement of more than 200 pickets and 30 supports. Mark Walsh and his team managed and completed the project with much attention to detail. They provided excellent follow up as well. A special thank you is due to Barb Smith, the Office Manager/Controller for her excellent communication and follow up with us during a very busy time of year for the company. She always answered the phone and coordinated the project. We definitely recommend this company."

Customers say: Quality work
"John was enjoyable to work with and did a fantastic job. He did everything we asked, but also questioned us to give us options and make sure we really wanted to do some things. He really went above and beyond with his work. We were selling our house and moving, and he worked around us and made it extremely easy to work with him while we were going through a bit of chaos. I highly recommend him."

"We used Malone Painting to prepare our new home for move in day. They also helped us paint our old home which helped our listing shine. It was nice to have this work completed by a professional during a busy and stressful transition. Mike at Malone painting was professional, efficient and completed the work on time and on budget. Itâ s refreshing to have a crew that will communicate and complete the job in the planned time-frame. I would use Malone Painting for all our future painting needs."

"Fred is the ultimate professional! Honest, fair pricing, always on time, great communicator, and the list goes on. He has done staining for my fence and pergola, interior painting and trim, and wallpaper. We hire him for all of our projects anytime we need something and will continue to use him!!"
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.
