"Paz painting was excellent. They did a great job with some repairs to rotten fascia boards and then painted our entire two story house. Quality of the job was very good and Paz painting was very professional and easy to work with. Price was also very competitive as compared with two other quotes we got."

"Five Star painted the main interior space of our house including white ceiling, almost all trim and doors and the walls. Great quality paint, excellent application and completed in less then 2 days. Everyone involved wore a mask. Got get advice on how to deal with our front door whose original stain had badly faded. Fair price."

"We have been very pleased to find All-Pro Painting, Cary NC for the painting of our home.

From first contact, Justin returned our calls promptly or texted if that was not possible.  We appreciated his willingness to meet with us as quickly as possible for an estimate (including a second one after we had additional thoughts) and likewise sought to accommodate our somewhat tight scheduling needs.  Justin's upbeat personality made it easy to ask questions, express concerns and ultimately feel confident in our choices.

The men that actually painted the house were friendly and their work was professional, organized and efficient.   Our job started within the window originally planned ( again, Justin kept us well informed through clear communication), and the men worked  to finish on time, leaving the house clean and good condition, replacing blinds, etc that they had removed for the painting.

I feel confident in recommending All-Pro Painting, Cary NC to others and to having them return to my home if needed.

"Jamal and his crew were so easy to work with! Jamal saved the day when the paint supplier sent the wrong color paint for some accents, he knew the vision I had and sorted it out with the paint supplier - that's the kind of team you want painting your house! Very detail oriented, kind, and fast. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for painting projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
