"Chad and Scott did a fantastic job, from concept to completion of our project. We needed an interior wall, framing, door, drywall, texture, & painting, & all the details to enclose our kitchen from our entry. They understood our concept, and had the work done from start to finish in 2 weeks. Meticulous, detail-oriented, polite, & fun to have them here in our home are how we would describe our relationship with Chad & Scott. They even let us keep adding other small projects along with the wall construction, always being cheerful & accommodating. We would definitely recommend them to our friends & neighbors for any projects! Susan & Larry"

"Brandon and Silus at Elite Finishes did a great job painting the exterior of our house on Ashley Lake. The house looks great. They were meticulous in covering up and not getting paint on anything that shouldn’t have paint on it. It has some very high hard to reach areas and they were creative and safe in reaching those. They did some extra little things I asked for, like covering up woodpecker holes, free of charge. And they were a joy to work with. We have 4 houses and have dealt with many workmen and these guys were just really nice, competent, and reasonably priced. We’d definitely hire them again."

"The guys were great. They were able to finish all of the tasks and a few more. Their pricing was fair and communication was very good. I was out of town while most of the tasks were done. If something came up they reached out and they had a solution. We are planning a bath remodel and they have already submitted a drawing. Their work is great and they’re easy to work with! When was the last time you said that about a contractor? Strongly recommend"

"Brad”s ability to mix colors effectively and skill in handling different mediums, applying paint smoothly,, and creating clean lines are just a few of the qualities that make him an amazing painter. I was very happy with Brad’s patience, willingness, and creative ideas when asked to experiment with different styles, techniques and subjects. Another very important asset is that Brad takes the time to refine his work until the desired result is achieved.!"

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.
