"Custom Painting did an outstanding job of staining our 30 year old buildings. Additionally many or our homeowners have used Custom Painting to paint their interiors. They always showed up as scheduled and where very professional when dealing with the association or homeowners. When we had a couple of issues that weren't noticed until months later, they came out quickly to rememdy the situation. I would highly recommend Custom Painting and will continue to use them for any of our painting/staining needs."

"The PaintAsheville team was very professional during our first meeting and explained in detail their process. They made recommendations regarding product and coloring, as well as a contractor to repair siding prior to paint. In addition, Crystal (one of the owners) assisted us with stain samples that helped finalize a color and finish. The painting crew was on-time, courteous and very responsive to questions and requests. We are extremely happy with the results. Overall, the PaintAsheville team delivered a superior product for a very competitive price. Weâ ll definitely consider them for any future painting projects!"

"Dario and his team were great in every way. Dario was very responsive, always on time, and easy to work with. His crew arrived promptly each morning and worked until after dark. They were even here on Thanksgiving Day to finish up. They moved everything themselves (Some contractors required that we move absolutely everything.), they did the necessary carpentry/repair work as part of the job, and even stained the deck three times when unexpected rain damaged the finish. They painted inside and out and refinished our front door, which looks wonderful. Other contractors didn't seem to know what to do with the lead glass door. They matched all the paints, cleaned up after themselves, and were always polite and cheerful. They weren't the cheapest but, considering they included repair work and could do everything I asked, I believe they were the best. I would not hesitate to hire them again for the next painting project."

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.
