"I can’t believe how amazing this process was with Danny’s Pro Painters. From the start to the finish they were so professional. They used quality paint, paid very close attention to details, and communicated with me through the entire process. Pricing was good too. Not to mention how fast they got this done. If you’re wondering who to hire, this is your best bet for sure."

"F I S H Painting & Drywall did a great job on getting my 2 upstairs bathrooms’ back up to snuff. I had been wanting to get the drywall fixed around our 2 bathtubs and standup shower as it had start chipping and coming off around the tops of the enclosures. On a scale of 1 to 10, my bathrooms were a 4, they were in desperate need of help. I end up talking to 4 vendors about the job and settled on Dennie/ F I S H Painting & Drywall. The main selling point, he had 40 yrs of doing this type of work. I needed someone to take the extra step and had the knowledge to do it right, since it was getting pretty bad. You can hire cheap, but that is what you get most times. I needed experience in this case. I ended up needing a ton of nail pops fixed in 4 bedrooms and the 2 bathrooms. They redid bad tape joints in our small bathroom and in our ceilings. They were also able to retexture the ceilings to match the existing too, which I was definitely wanting. And then I had just the 2 bathrooms painted top to bottom for now. I am concentrating more on just the bathrooms first. They were fast to get to my job when I told them I was ready. I thought it was going to be a couple of weeks and they had a couple of people that needed to rearrange schedules, so I got bumped up. They suggested a satin paint for bathrooms and the proper ceiling paint for a bathroom too. I did have some additional nail pops that needed to be addressed after everything was done, due to the walls being white before. Sometimes it is hard to catch them all on a white wall. Dennie came out and fixed them. He even found extra ones that I did not see too. I appreciate him taking the time to come out and do a double take on everything. Now I can sleep better at night. I feel that I have gotten off to a good start getting the house started."

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.
