"Stephanie and Jose did a terrific job. They were very meticulous and careful in their work. They took time to mask everything and cover all the ground cover. I would definitely hire them again for my painting and staining jobs."

"It went very well. The crew was on time every day, they were polite and they cleaned-up before they left. They were very dilligent, professional and careful. They interacted well with us and responded well to all of our requests. There were no problems of any sort. The General Manager, Alfredo Flores, was a pleasure to work with. At the time of the original estimate, he showed up on time as promised, was very careful and through in his analysis of what needed to be done and provided a detailed estimate at the end of the same day he visited. His estimate was in line with others we had solicited so based on our interactions with him and the reviews we had seen on Angie's list plus his very high rating by the Better Business Bureau, we decided to sign the contract with him. We will definitely work with CertaPro Painters of Central Houston (Alberto Flores) again when we need painting and will recommend them to friends and family."

"Steve was extremely polite and easy to work with. Came out quickly to provide estimate, picked a stain color, and in a few days the fence has been power-washed and stained. Beautiful job and really makes the landscaping/greenery pop. The gentleman doing the great work moved all of our planters out of the way and covered vegetation. Will definitely call ProLine for any other painting jobs interior or exterior."

"Alex Painting Pro truly saved us from the nightmare of HOA notices — and anyone who’s dealt with those knows how stressful and expensive it can get fast! Thankfully, they came out quickly, provided a completely free quote, and delivered a BEAUTIFUL paint job for a fraction of what other companies were charging me. The quality of work exceeded my expectations, my home looks amazing again, and best of all… no HOA fines and no paying an arm and a leg! Professional, affordable, and honest from start to finish. I highly recommend Alex Painting Pro to anyone needing quality work without outrageous prices!"

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.
