"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."

"I am extremely pleased with the work that Denmai painting has done in my home. I hired Denmai because their painting quote was much lower than other quotes I had received. The quality and professionalism from Denmai is second to none. I will be using Denmai again for all of my painting needs."

"Hired Munoz Painting to power wash and stain my deck and a lattice wall screen. Excellent work. I little pricey but he was very detailed with the prep and staining so it was worth the cost. Went over my stain options and recommended a type of stain I had not considered. I went with his recommendation was very happy with the results. Would hire him again."

"They were absolutely amazing! Before hiring them, I hired a cheaper painter. Do yourself a favor, don’t waste money on anyone else. If you want absolute perfection, look no further. They painted my old wood paneling walls and it looks like a brand new house! I’m beyond grateful for them. As a Marine, and slightly OCD about small details, it makes me so happy to have a perfectly painted home. These guys were extremely professional and courteous. They explained every step and were more than patient with me during our final walkthrough. If you see any detail that you prefer to be corrected, they will fix it. I literally have a perfectly painted home because of them. This was the best money I’ve ever spent! And they were so fast and efficient. I was honestly amazed! I am so so grateful for them."

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.
