"Our project involved removing wallpaper, that was painted over, painting trims, patching and covering some small tracks. We interviewed 4 companies and at the end we chose Dr Paint. They were professionals. Every day they would clean up, remove the trash. They worked on Saturday's so they can finish the job on a deadline we requested. And they did. The house looks great as a result of their work. I would recommend them to my family and friends. Great price and great job, we are very happy."

"If you need a professional painting job, look no further! “Eagles Painting & Decorative” was fast, efficient, and very reasonably priced. They handled my entire project with care and precision, and I was blown away by how clean they left everything. Couldn’t be happier with the results!"

"Ten Home was great from quote to finish. Tom is a very professional and nice guy. I was offsite and he kept me updated on the work through texts and photos. I m selling a house that was being rented for the last 5 years. They did a lot for me: replaced some rotting wood on and painted an entire garage: replaced, fixed and secured some wood on and stained a deck: painted the railings on the front porch: painted the wood below 5 storm windows: painted the wood between 3 storm windows that hadn t been removed in over 30 years and then put the windows back in place: they tested and ultimately replaced a GFCI outlet in the bathroom along with securing the vanity to the wall. All the work was done in a timely fashion and at a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them and plan on using them in the future."

"Scott's a great guy, but not a professional painter. I found myself requesting a lot of touch-ups and re-do's, along with multiple requests for second coats of paint (which I made clear was agreed to at the outset of the engagement). I'm going to have to correct some of the work that was done, and add additional coats of paint here and there. Overall, I think the job was bigger than Scott realized at the beginning. However, Scott is very personable and a good dude. Hire him if you want a simple job done fast at a decent price. If you have a complex job, with a lot of drywall work, I recommend that you go with someone else."

"Precision Painting worked in our 100 year old house for over 2 weeks and completely painted the interior 2 floors. They had to make repairs to the walls and ceilings and cover up our old dark paint colors. They accommodated us living in the house while they did the work by getting done as quickly as possible, they worked seven days a week. We are very happy with what they did Fernando was very easy to work with."

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.
