"Mark and Nick were great! They did a thorough walkthrough both before and after and made sure everything we wanted done was done to our liking. They were very clear in communicating what their plan was and when they planned on doing the work. The work completed was top quality and I will be reaching out again if we need any more painting/staining/ finishing done. Would highly recommend their services."

"I had Clean Cut Painting paint several rooms in my house, and the experience was excellent. The painters were friendly, detail-oriented, and completed the work neatly. The colors look beautiful, and the walls have a smooth, professional finish. They also cleaned up everything after the project was finished. I would definitely recommend their painting services to others."

"James was outstanding and did everything he quoted and was on time for the quote, power washing and paint job. He was east to work with and even did more work than he quoted and save us from having to paint one wall ourselves. We did the lower part of the house and he did the upper parts, dormers and chimney. I only wish we had more painting needing to be done because I will be going back to him and in the future. I will definitely refer my family and friends to have James quite for their painting projects. A++++ in my book."

"We have hired Woodbrook Painting several times over the last seven years. Our most recent project was painting our kitchen cabinets, we are delighted with the outcome. Our 25 year old cabinets look like brand new and like they just came in from the factory. Keith, Ryan and the crew were professionals from beginning to end and got the job done on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to our routine. We will be hiring Woodbrook again soon."

"I initially hired OC Construction and Painting for the painting of my kitchen after a complete remodel. Orsen the painter was very collaborative, timely and the work product was excellent. I then hired the company to paint the exterior of my mid-century modern house. Again Orsen collaborated with me to achieve the desired result: a beautiful, eye-popping color transformation that exceeded my expectations. I continue to get comments and inquiries from neighbors and visitors. Orsen is very meticulous and a consummate artist as a painter. His pricing is reasonable and worth every penny spent."

"From start to finish Antonio was nothing short of being a creative professional. He completed the work in a timely manner and offered suggestions when stumbling on to a road block (the house is 100 years old and needed TLC ). AM Painting is the best."

"Alex did an outstanding job painting my bathroom, kitchen, and hallways. He very professional, punctual, friendly, and helpful throughout the process. He took the time to meticulously correct many of the imperfections in the walls and ceilings before expertly priming and painting the surfaces. He also did a great job laying tarps prior to working and cleaning up afterwards. I couldn't be more happy with his work."
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.
