"Jack’s Evergreen Painting is a first class organization and I highly recommend them! They removed wallpaper, sanded walls, primed, and painted two coats of paint in one bedroom. Then they painted another bedroom. They were quick, neat, accurate, and reasonably priced. What a pleasure to hire such a first class company. I was so satisfied that I have hired them to stain my house this summer."

"We hired Pinehurst painting to prep and paint the exterior of our home. They easily went above and beyond what we expected. Their bid for the job was fair and reasonable, they were very accommodating to our schedule in starting and completing the job as well as keeping disruptions to our daily schedules to a minimum. The prep work they did was truly exceptional as was the actual painting. Our 30 year old house looks like new! During the entire process, the entire crew was a pleasure to deal with. We plan on using Pinehurst painting for future interior painting projects. We highly recommend Pinehurst for any painting projects you may have."

"Very highly recommend! We initially hired them to paint over a custom paint job from previous owner. They did such a beautiful job that we hired them for the entire interior of our home. They work as a painting team and worked very hard, moving furniture, painting walls, high ceilings and trim. They made two trips to bring paint samples when we expanded the job. Great communication and excellent work!"

Customers say: Quality work
"Roman and his brother stripped wallpaper in a stairwell and then prepared it for painting. They sanded, made the stairwell look brand new, and painted. They also painted my dining room. Their work is outstanding. Their work ethic is a throw back to a more sane. world. Iâ m very pleased with their work. They will be painting the outside of my home this summer. Roman was able to get colors that I sent him. Iâ m confident that the paint job will be the best one this old house has had. If you need a paint job done, do not hesitate to contact Roman. Ten stars for excellence"

"Zakary Fike came out to look at the project. He provided a rough estimate of $14-20,000 to clean, refinish/paint. As I expect to move soon I decided not to invest that much. He then reccommended an individual to do the cleaning and suggested a method of freshing the exterior appearance that I could do."

"Best MGL Painting is Licensed, bonded and insured, and was very responsive to requests for documentation and all our inquiries prior to reaching agreement. Throughout the project Jacky maintained excellent communication and checked in with me regularly to make sure he was addressing our preferences. From the price of the project all the way through the quality of the work, i could not be more pleased. I recommend Jacky and Best MGL Painting without reservation. Steve D."

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.
