"I reached out to Next Level Roofing & Construction for a paint quote as a referral from one of my good friends. I had seen their painting work results on two separate homes and believed they would be able to provide great results. The initial quote was easy and I learned they offer far more than just painting- they are contractors. Next Level Roofing & Construction was able to fit me into their schedule and one of their teams came out and started right away. They were able to provide a skim coat for the bathroom, cut into the wall and add recessed electrical (original home had external track electric in one of the bedrooms), repair said wall, paint multiple rooms, provide electrical updates in multiple rooms, and provide trim for windows and a door. Next Level Roofing & Construction is licensed and insured and provide their own equipment needed for the job. They were professional during the entire process. They provided honest feedback when asked what should be fixed vs. what could be done and even offered alternatives to save money. I would recommend Next Level Roofing & Construction for your next home project repair or upgrade!"

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.
