"I have been working with Paul for well over a decade for all my painting needs. The quality of their work is EXCELLENT, and let me tell you, I am very particular. He always comes into every project with a great attitude, professionalism, and enthusiasm. I have shopped around a few times and I consistently find his prices are very competitive. In summary, Paul has that rare combination of quality, reliability, good manners, and a willingness to put in the work and do a great job. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"Rodrigo was polite and nice. He gave me a good price . He was prompt and the work looks great. I had a small walkout deck that needed to be cleaned and painted stained. I had it painted. Rodriguez explained to me the process and time He explained to me the paint and that it would provide protection for deck. I like being informed on time lines and process. The deck looks so great my neighbor ask for his number as well. I m very happy. I have several jobs that I plan to hire him. Thanks so much Rodrigo and home advisor for sending me a reliable person. I m a new , first time home owner and I m a bit nervous about everything. Glad now I have my Painting and etc company"

"BMB Painting was Fantastic. As per their proposal and our conversations, all the outside work was done impeccably and done at very reasonable rates. All the work was done in the time suggested and they prepped all work areas and cleaned up very well. We will be hiring them again for some inside painting in the future as well. I would highly recommend using BMB Painting!"

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.
