"hired Don Collins Painting to do some trim work on my son's house. Price was right, started it a week later and the crew (Dan and Emmett ) were professional, friendly and did a superb job. I will hire Don Collins Painting in the future. Paul Krawczun"

"The work was good, thorough, looks good on the work, but paints started chipping off on the chimney about a year and a half ago and a little over a year ago in 2019, the blue paint on the French door was bubbling up."

"HD Custom Painting visited to provide an estimate. They asked detailed questions, gave expert advice and options. They did a careful, conscientious job power washing, masking and painting with high quality paint. They went out of their way to clean and fix unforeseen issues, and stuck to the estimated price. My house looks great! I highly recommend HD Custom Painting!"

"Jeannette & John were amazing! Painted living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, upstairs & hallway. Painted all the woodwork & trim in (2) days. The crew came Monday at 8:00am & was done by Tuesday at 3:00pm. Extremely efficient & very friendly. Absolutely loved working with them. B&B is by far my favorite painting company! Highly recommend!!!"

"Steve and his team did an outstanding job. I had my entire house painted. It looks great - Steve was neat, efficient and reliable. He also made a few recommendations which turned out to really set off the whole room design. Steve covered everything and all the rooms were put back together in no time. I have already given his cards to several friends!!"

"We were very impressed with Jim and Nolan Painting in general. Jim was great - he asked important questions and pointed out a few things we hadn't thought in terms of what/how areas should be painted. He was pretty quick getting us a quote and we thought the price quoted was competitive. We ultimately went with another painted due to a connection with a close family friend."

"We are extremely happy with the job Francisco did. He is attentive to details like degreasing our kitchen cabinets before painting, using more than the usual plastic and drop cloths to keep our furniture dust free, and we appreciated the good communication and simply just being on time each morning. Hey the guy paints churches including ours! We will hire him again-no doubt."

"Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces"
+20
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.
