"My experience with ALR Painting was excellent. Alex was on time everyday and took the utmost care in painting the exterior of my house and my workshop. My house looks amazing. Alex even helped me with my color choices which alleviated a lot of the stress of picking the correct colors. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. A++"

"I recently hired JD Painting to paint both the interior and exterior of my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Javier and his team did an amazing job—he was thorough, detail-oriented, and made sure no spot was left untouched. He even went the extra mile by applying an additional coat to ensure a flawless finish, giving me complete peace of mind. The professionalism and dedication of JD Painting truly stand out. They take pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of the final result. I would definitely hire them again in the future and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled painting team. Keep up the great work!"

"This was our second experience with Custom Application Painting. We had worked with them originally in July to repaint the interior of our home. I was so happy with the work they had done for us before, I couldn't wait to work with them again. Like before Custom Applications Painting took the time to understand what we wanted and made helpful suggestions. Because they did work on the inside of the home they were able to compliment the outside with new colors that tied the look of the home together. We have had several compliments from our neighbors on how nice the house looks. We will be working with Custom Applications Painting again!"

"Outstanding work! I plan to hire them again for my next project. The owner, Rick responded promptly to my call and was very professional and efficient. He provided a detailed list of what was to be included in the job. The crew of five men arrived on time, moved furniture out of the way, prepped the area carefully and cleaned up completely at the end of each day.
Although it wasn't included in the contract, the crew did some additional touch up painting of some doors & baseboards"since we already have the trim paint open." I had also asked if I could use their ladder to clean and change lightbulbs in the hard to reach chandelier; I came home and found that they did it for me. I expected that with the additional work done that they might add on to the bill, but they didn't. Instead I was more than happy to give the crew a good tip.
Very pleased with the end result as well as the 3 days of having this professional team in our home.

"Everything went well. Joe and his assistant showed up as scheduled and removed the wall paper and patched walls as necessary. Afterward they cleaned up all materials and vaccuumed the carpeting to remove any small debris. Aferward, I rehired them to come back next weekend to texture some of the walls for painting.

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.
