"For the past eight years I have used Pro Painters Plus LLC for all of my interior painting, drywall repair/nail pop repair and caulk repair needs. Pro Painters Plus has always done an outstanding job. The paintwork has consistently adhered to a very high quality standard and was completed in a meticulous manner with great attention to detail. The painters did a wonderful job of cleaning up at the end of each workday and all of the furniture that was moved in order to complete the paintwork was carefully returned to its original location. In addition, the painters have arrived right on schedule. I have always been quoted what I believe to be a more than fair price for the excellent quality of workmanship provided. For me, Pro Painters Plus is the best interior/exterior painting company on this side of the galaxy. Five stars all the way around!"

"They were prompt, clean and very neat, even vacuumed afterwards. Started early. The only problem was the paint in my kitchen drain where they cleaned the paint brushes but Dan quickly made it right."

"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

"Painting bathroom, painted front door and metal storm door. Painted concrete landing. Eric was very professional. He didn’t make a mess but did clean up after himself. We would definitely hire home for future needs."

FAQs for painting projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
