"Working with Mike at Affordable Painting & Repairs was overall a great experience. I hired him for two different jobs (drywall and building an enclosure with a new door), he completed each job far sooner than anticipated. He also did something many people in his position wouldn't consider... he lowered the price to more accurately reflect the hours each job took. I was also very impressed with his timeliness, every time he told me he would arrive or call at a given time he did. He also demonstrated a firm grasp of the skills needed for both jobs. Overall, I found him to be honest, ethical, fair, skilled and reasonable. I basically let him be and he got both jobs done sooner and less expensively than originally quoted. I definitely do reccomend his services and will be calling him again for other jobs!!!"

"My husband and I had a more complex project, which included painting the inside of a 5200 square feet house, staining beams and staircase, and adding additional work as the project went on. CertaPro was very professional, reliable, and took pride in their work. They were helpful in guiding us on our project in terms of what colors, stains, and additional ways to add extra character to our home. They even helped correct uneven walls, cracks, and baseboards. We are obsessed with how our home looks and will definitely use Craig and his team again! Definitely recommended!"

"I purchased an older home and had a few rooms that needed painting. Chris was the one of many contractors that reached out to me. I looked at all of his great reviews and we set up an appointment for a quote. Chris was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I hired him and scheduled the job. Great communication in between and I gave him the paint colors for each room. On the day scheduled, two of his workers (who Chris identified for me) showed up on time. They were professional, friendly, respectful of my time, home and belongings. They had to move furniture to paint the walls and ceiling and cleaned up afterwards. It was a 2 day job and my bedroom, office and hallway look fantastic. The work they did was exemplary. No dabs of different color paint on the ceiling or along the baseboards. They exceeded my expectations in every way. I am happy that I chose Chris and his team and will be calling on him again for future projects."

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.
