"Guillermo was awesome. I hired him remotely to paint the kitchen cabinets before we moved in. He quoted a very reasonable price and showed up when he said he would even when I wasn’t there. He has excellent communication and sent photos when the job was completed and followed up with me to schedule the cabinet hardware installation that wasn’t available during the initial paint job. He’s a true professional and I highly recommend him."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Omar and his crew for a painting job, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional. Omar took the time to listen to my needs, offered helpful advice on color choices, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the plan before starting the work. His crew was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented, working together seamlessly to complete the job. They were respectful of my building, ensuring everything was protected, and left the space clean and tidy when they were finished. The quality of the painting is outstanding, and the final result exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a skilled team with great customer service and valuable expertise, I highly recommend Omar and his crew! They truly go above and beyond to deliver top-notch results."
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.
