"We couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of the service and the work that was done. General Painting is a professionally run operation; we appreciated the attention to detail that was evident from the job estimate, contract and follow through on promises. Ours is an old shingled farm house that needed the wood shingle to be stained and the trim to be painted. The prep work they did was impressive and the crew was unfailingly polite and responsive to any concerns or directives. We will be using them again for interior work in the near future!!! We whole heartedly recommend them."

"I called for a quote when shopping around for my exterior paint/stain project. Leoâ s price was competitive but I ultimately went with another company since I had received their quote first. That was a mistake. I called Leo to see if he had availability to come look at fixing the job that the first company started. The first company had failed to sand any of the trim and the paint was immediately peeling after day 1. Leo came right out, looked at the job once more and his team started the next day. They took their time and did a great job with the prep work and fixing what the first company had done. This was not a three day project like the first company was aiming for. They really took their time and did it correctly. He also guided me in selecting which colors should be used in certain areas. My home looks brand new. I would recommend Challenger Construction for any and all painting needs."

"Had a small painting project and quoted rate was good. However there were few spots/small patches where I had to clean up and repaint. Both painters were courteous and cleaned up well afterwards. Communication over email has scope for improvement. All in all 4.5/5 for a 3 hour project"

"I highly recommend CRS Painting for any home improvement needs. They recently completed several projects at my home, including painting the exterior of the house, installing vinyl flooring, and removing a popcorn ceiling in the bathroom. Their work was high quality, done efficiently, and the team was professional and respectful throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, and they took care to ensure everything was completed to my satisfaction. If you’re looking for a dependable and skilled team for painting or general home updates, CRS Painting is an excellent choice."

"I have used Taurus Painting Services multiple times throughout my home’s many remodeling projects. This was a small project to paint walls and accent paint my foyer and stair risers leading to the second story. Steve communicates well and confirmed color choices and paint finishes before starting the project. He set eta’s and he and his small crew worked quietly and efficiently to complete the project as expected. All surfaces were prepped and furniture and flooring was either moved or protected. I highly recommend Taurus Painting Services for all your painting needs."

"We are very pleased with project that MS painting and home improvement did . Converted basement which had cement walls , floors to a playroom for grandchildren. They had informative suggestions for materials used and safety features for children ."
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.
