"We had our front & back deck painted, the house pressure washed, & front door painted. Everything looks great, even offered to replace the rotted wood at the bottom of our columns & painted those as well. The house now has a fresh look to it! Great quality for the price!"

"John is a super nice guy, and he explains everything that he plans on doing before actually doing the job. John close in the drywalls and put in borders surrounding the sliding glass door I had installed. He also finishes the job by painting the wall to match and he redid the ceiling. The job came out superb. I will download pictures later. Thanks again, John!"

"The representative that came out to give an estimate on replacing my roof in Harvey, LA was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and made sure that we understood every thing involved. When our appointment was scheduled, the crew arrived on time and completed approximately 95% of the job on the 1st day. They returned early the next morning to complete the job and clean-up any nails/debris that may have been left behind. The crew was strictly work oriented, fast, efficient and clean. I was pleased with their quality of work and would definitely recommend Progressive Home Improvement to anyone who need roofing work done."

"I needed someone to repair sheetrock and flooring due to water damage. They came promptly to give me an estimate and then got right to work on the project to compete it quickly because I was in a time crunch. They did a great job and left everything clean and in its place. I would certainly hire them again."
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.
