"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"Joseph and his Team are excellent. They have worked with high attention to detail on our 1929 home. The Team worked six days per week (full days) and took great care to sand, prep, and paint (2 coats) with a brush. The Team was extremely courteous and it is evident they take pride in their work. Joseph was highly responsive, working side-by-side with his Team and stopping by independently to check the work progress. Their work helped restore the beauty of our classic Dutch Colonial. They were fairly priced, putting forth the time and attention that surpassed our expectations. I cannot recommend Joseph and his Team highly enough."

"Certipro painters did an amazing job painting my home. They arrived immediately to give me a fair estimate and started the job faster than I expected. They are professional and neat and also came back to make sure I was happy with the job. They did exactly what I asked with the paint colors and how I wanted my home to look. Now I love my house before it was dingy and old looking missing shingles holes from woodpeckers etc. Certipro repairs all of the holes and replaced missing shingles and repaired wood that was rotted out. This was no easy job. Im going to use them again to paint the inside of my home and will highly recommend Certipro Painters to my friends and family."

"We got our house power washed and rooms painted from Nick. Awesome job ! House looks like new and painting job looks beautiful . My biggest fear of hiring contractors is that they never come on time or skip a day or two , but Nick was on time ( actually a bit early ) every single day and focused on his job throughout the day . He is very well experienced so won’t do jobs that are going to mess up your project , he knows exactly what to do , and how to do it right . I have two little kids , so the paint quality he used was awesome , barely any smell or chemicals- really appreciate that . I’ll definitely hire him again ."

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.
