"Jim power washed, sanded, primed and painted a large outdoor shed. He kept in contact with me about scheduling the job during this unpredictable weather. Jim uses high quality paint, did a great job with the building and trim. He caulked as necessary and thoroughly cleaned the area when finished. I won't hesitate to use him again."

"Eric did a fantastic job! He was professional from the first day he came and gave us our quote. He is reasonable and fair with his prices. When he finished he did a walk through to be sure we were happy. I can not recommend anyone else. We already scheduled him again for our deck and pool deck."

"If you searching for somebody whose RELIABLE, CONSISTENT and HONEST who will do what you what done HOW YOU WANT IT DONE (maybe even a little BETTER then how ya wanted !) and Do it right the FIRST TIME.... Look no further! Heres that Somebody. Did a stellar job painting my homes exterior and being indecisive I asked his input on the color choice I ended up going with off his opinion about it. Initially I was not so sure about it as it wasnt a normal shade of the basic color choices houses are most commonly made.... It did not look all that appealing when I looked at in in the can either. But MANNN he surely knew what he was talking about ( the owner Joshua ) cuz at the jobs completion when I got to see it out of its bucket upon my house it was just PRETTY to me.. not TOO MUCH but just the right touch of different! STAR QUALITY GETS 5s from this way A+++++ ALL DAMN DAY!!!!"

"Frank helped us patiently with our paint choice for our family room. He prepped the room and completed 2 coats to the walls and ceiling. Not a drop of paint anywhere. He did a tremendous job. Very neat, clean, efficient. We are well pleased with his work and will call for our additional painting needs."

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.
