"Mike and his team from Paint Central Florida did and outstanding job painting the entire interior of my home and applying an epoxy finish to my garage floor. Mike was very professional, answered my questions, offered insight and always returned my calls or emails promptly. My family was new to the area and it was important for us to deal with someone we trusted. The paint job and garage floor came out great and Mike and his team exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them for your painting needs!"

"We approached JP’s paints for painting the exterior of our home. Lindsay and Julian walked us through the process and answered all our questions and concerns. Once we received the approvals, their crew started the work immediately. They did a wonderful job with fixing the stucco, painting and cleanup. Everyone was very professional and took real care of the property. I would give them 5 stars on all the aspects of the project. We got so many positive comments from the neighbors already. Lindsay assured us that we would be pleasantly surprised and they would do a great job. They kept their promise and we are so happy how the house looks with the new paint. We would definitely recommend them to someone hiring for their painting projects. Wishing them all the very best in their future endeavors ."

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.
