"We got a couple of estimates and went with WBR because of great personal recommendations from previous customers.This crew of 3-4 guys, led by Jim, was outstanding. They were on time and put in full days every day. Cannot say enough good things about how neat and tidy they were, both with the job site and their painting. Our house has four high peaks on uneven terrain and a great deal of cut-in trim work and they handled it with great precision. Gutters were taken down, not painted around, nail pops and dings were fixed before painting, they took as much care as possible with landscaping, had drop cloths everywhere and cleaned up each area, each day. When they were done, there were no drip marks and not a speck of paint left behind on windows! We've had many contractors over the years and WBR gave us the best "total" package. They were on time, on budget, professional, and respectful of the property. We highly recommend WBR. Thanks for a beautiful job, Jim, Alex & Nate"

"They were clean and responsive. The painting looks fabulous."
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.
