"Professional, reliable and highly skilled. Leonardo took care of everything, getting the paint, in every color I wanted, he covered all my floors and made sure they didn't get scratched or paint. He accomodated our busy schedule and every room was completed on time and with the highest quality. There were no delays. His attention to detail was remarkable and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I highly recommend Kolibri Painting"

"Yes. I actually hire Art Hamlin in 2007 to paint an interior veranda room. I then hired him again to paint it again to change the color in 2023 as well as paint another in my house. This said his quality and professionalism was top notch both times. He does what he says he is going to do and does it well."

"I'd give 10 stars if I could. The quote was accurate and fair, and the team was wonderful! They showed up on time and the walk-through was smooth. They had paint on the wall right away and the final touches made the difference - the paint looks GREAT. The crew leader Trina, was terrific, and the whole team worked great under her direction. I would not think twice about hiring them again!!"

"The Pressure Washing, Exterior Repairs and Painting of my home and screened porch performed JP's Paint Co. LLC Far Exceeded My Highest Expectations!! Their communication with me was excellent. Lindsay & Julian arrived right on time and walked my property, taking notes, photos and discussing all of their recommendations necessary to bring about the best results based on my description of what I needed. JP's Paint Co. LLC clearly operates with a high standard of integrity that is not often seen these days. I knew they were the company to hire & once the crew arrived, right on time, they were all polite, careful with everything they did and so detailed and meticulous with their workmanship! I was so impressed and pleased with the outcome! The crew was the Best! The entire job was able to be completed in one day and my yard was totally clear of any trash once they were packed and ready to go! I absolutely recommend JP's Paint Co. LLC!! They are A+++ in every category!"

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.
