"The staff did an excellent job priming and oaint our first floor. The drywall work was terrific and created a great base for the painting. I love the blue they painted our kitchen. We will use their services again."

"Drew Painting did an outstanding job painting our home in 1 day!!! They moved furniture, covered things and were very respectful while they were here. They cleaned up afterwards and even helped us get our TV reprogrammed correctly. It was a wonderful experience, and the best part is my back doesn't hurt from a week (or more) of painting!!! I would definitely give them a call if you're looking to spruce up your interior. They also do exterior painting and power washing."

"For my most recent home exterior project I knew instantly who I would reach out to Pittenger Painting has painted my interior of my home so I knew for a fact I would want them to paint the exterior of my home. From Sam giving me a quote to Alvin arriving to paint my exterior the customer service was amazing. They were prompt and organized and very clean . They did a fantastic job and I have gotten so many compliments on the job they have done. There is no one else I would choose to paint my house interior and exterior"

"DnB was good with a complicated job here of using 5 different paint colors and 2 different stain colors all in close quarters, along with three or four areas of drywall that were a mess from prior contractor. Also they met their timing commitment to the very day that they promised arrival (two months prior)."

"This company is a awesome company to hire. I have previously contracted somebody to do some work for my home and needless to say they did a terrible job. They were supposed to paint the walls and did not get the walls ready for painting as I instructed them to as I gave them money for the job. The team of Joshua Wolfe did a phenomenal job and they will be back for future projects. The crew was class act and friendly unlike the people I worked with. Like I said they are a good company to work with and the price is fair. Give them a shot."

"Kurt was very prompt, professional and friendly. He brought his own vacuum and cleaned up any dust he made; impressive. Even more impressive was that after he was done painting I didn't find a single drop of paint where it didn't belong. While they are more expensive than some other handymen I've used the quality of Kurt's work was worth the difference and the actual hours worked were less than the original estimate. Overall I would definitely use their services again. "

"We were so lucky to find William Braun to paint our Civil War Hospital home. He described each step of the process. He power washed the entire brick exterior. He then inspected each brick, fixing those that needed it. Applied 2 layers of primer, and then the final paint. His estimate of 3 weeks once he received the materials was spot on taking into account the weather. He is a perfectionist and it shows in his work. He would text us when he was on the way and when he was heading out. He moved items on the porch (including a pallet of pellets) and moved everything back when done. We could not be more happy with the finished product. He even cleaned out the gutters on our garage when we asked him to. We would definitely recommend William, and may ask him to do another project for us. The work needed to be done wasn’t listed on the review. William was contracted to paint the exterior of our brick house."

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.
