"Excellent Service and Quality from Dependable Painting. We have a large vertical wood sided contemporary house. This is the best crew that has ever painted our house. They truly do treat our house like they would want their house painted. I watched Carlos paint and he very carefully paints the intricate trim in our house. And we have never hired a painter that did not leave a drop of paint on the floor or ground. The found some damage on our house and fixed the damage for far less than a handyman quoted us. Honestly, they know what they are doing. February is usually not our rainy season but they worked around the cold, wind and rain. I highly recommend Dependable Painting and Improvements and I would hire them again and again."

"Kenia and her team did a great job! I hired them to paint my shutters and my garage door, as well as to revarnish my front door. Kenia was easy to communicate with, regarding scheduling. They showed up on time, were very neat and precise in their paint job, and did beautiful work! Everything looks brand new! They finished on time and cleaned up the work area. I am planning to get some interior painting done early next year and definitely hope to hire them again. Strongly recommended!"

"Yes, AJ’s Quality Painting was everything we wanted. They came in and did the work. My brothers and I are very pleased. Once the quote was given and we agreed Afias and Josephina went straight to work. The paint job, ceiling and the wall he had to repair in one of the bedroom’s was beautifully done. They are very professional and kept constant communication with me about when they were going to the house and when they would be done. We did a walk through and our parents home is so bright and beautiful with the paint we chose. We had a family friend to come over and she really loved the color and work. She plans on using the color for her home during the Spring. I will most definitely recommend AJ’s Quality Painting to anyone who needs home services. Thank you both for the work done."

"Visions to Reality gives you their professional recommendations on a painting project before starting. There is no aversion to using a brand of paint the customer prefers. (such as Benjamin Moore Paints) Quality is provided , they are true craftsmen at their skill. The work area is orderly, and they clean up afterwards. They have proven to me scaffolding is not always necessary in a 2-story space. I am happy to recommend these painters!"

"I recently bought a condo that was built in 2010. It was in dire need of a little TLC. Tony painted the entire interior of the condo and the quality of the work was top notch. He had to repaint the ceilings, trim, and windows. Now it looks fresh, vibrant, and new. I am exceptionally pleased 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.
