"Had him come over to quote me a cost and tell everything I needed done. Told me how long it would take and the price was right, hired him on the spot, took a half hour and he was done. Very professional. Will hire again. Definitely 5 stars."

"With so many companies out there it was hard to find a good reliable company but we came across E&J Painting and we are so glad we did. They were so professional and very friendly. Most of all I loved that they had the patience with us because we just couldn’t find the right paint we wanted. But when we started talking and them showing us samples we finally got the right color. And we were very impressed with there work. They covered up our furniture covered up little holes in the walls. They treated our house like it was there own. I will definitely use them again in the future."

"I bought an Angie's List Deal for $200 for 8 hours of painting from Pride Decorating. Joe returned my call promptly and came out that same day to take a look at the space and let me know what would be feasible during the time period that I had paid for. He called me a couple days later to schedule.
He arrived right at the arranged time, did all the work that we discussed, cleaned up everything thoroughly.
He was professional, prompt, and easy to work with.

"Based on our past experience with AOM (interior painting), we used them to powerwash our home. They had all the appropriate equipment and did an excellent job. Our 20 year old vinyl siding looks totally refreshed. David is easy to work with and goes the extra mile. We will continue to AOM for future projects.

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.
