"Leo was dedicated to providing us high quality painting service in the three bedrooms and six closets of the house we just purchased. He overcame flaws with the older previously painted surfaces and trim work, and took time to ensure the best results. We highly recommend Leo to others in need of home 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."

"The owner is extremely courteous & was always on time with calls and appointments from the 1st day for the estimate through patiently waiting for our additional renovations to be done so they could get started painting. His crew for pressure cleaning, fixing the stucco and concrete along with the painting crew were also very efficient and very courteous. My husband & I were extremely happy from start to finish & we absolutely recommend Paint Central Florida. ?"

"Dustin was extremely professional, responsive and trustworthy. I initially hired him and his company for interior painting, but based on the exceptional level of service, I asked him to do exterior painting as well. I live out of state and Dustin did all this work and communicated with me while I was away from the property. He treated it as his own. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of painting services!"

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.
