"It went well. They even followed up with touching up baseboards once the new hardwood floor was installed. Billy and Cole were leaders on the job. Looking to rehire for more painting."

"Ross and Brandon did a fantastic job. Our bungalow has 40+ year old aluminum siding that was very oxidized, in dire need of a paint job. Ross and Brandon thoroughly power washed the house on the first day. The second day consisted of a primer coat and half of the paint being applied. The third day the paint job was completed to our extreme delight…it was beyond beautiful! Ross and Brandon are very professional, thorough, and meticulous. They clean up so well after the job, that if it wasn’t for the beautifully painted house, you would never know they were there. We highly recommend them!"

"I hired Masterbrush to update my fading aluminum siding. From the initial consultation and estimate to the final walkthrough they were professional punctual and attentive to detail. The crew was friendly and worked efficiently, and left my outside clean and tidy each day. I highly recommend Henry and his company Masterbrush painting."

"Jeff of Linkowski Painting did an awesome job painting my living room, dining room, master bedroom two bathrooms, and stairwell. He totally transformed my space. He went above and beyond by re-staining the original woodwork, removing previous overpainting and fixing scratches. Jeff arrived when he said that he would and stuck to his contract. I'm extremely happy with everything that he did for me. I will definitely hire him again for any painting that I need to have done in the future. He is professional and meticulous. I can't praise his work enough."

"Jeff did a tremendous job of matching the existing faux finish in our kitchen. We had other painting contractors over and they wouldn't/couldn't match the faux. He also painted the ceiling and baseboards. Had him back the next week to paint the center hall and steps. Jeff works cleanly and quickly."

"My husband and I had a more complex project, which included painting the inside of a 5200 square feet house, staining beams and staircase, and adding additional work as the project went on. CertaPro was very professional, reliable, and took pride in their work. They were helpful in guiding us on our project in terms of what colors, stains, and additional ways to add extra character to our home. They even helped correct uneven walls, cracks, and baseboards. We are obsessed with how our home looks and will definitely use Craig and his team again! Definitely recommended!"

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.
