"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."

"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!!!"

"Juan and his team were amazing. Came out to the house and provided a quote for interior painting. The quote was extremely reasonable especially since we were asking for the work to be done in a tight timeframe. They did an amazing job, were extremely detailed and also cleaned up after themselves every day. We have worked with multiple painters over the course of owning several houses and this team by far was the best! I Would highly recommend using L Brothers painting"

"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."

"New Era Pro Painting was a great service provider. They arrived on time and cleaned up each day. They did a comprehensive prep, paint, clean up, walk thru and gave additional recommendations for future projects. I will use them again and recommend them to others in the family."

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.
