"Serigo and his crew did a fantastic job. Very conscientious to detail. Most of the rooms in my house had not been painted since it was built 23 years ago. It now looks better than new. I am so pleased with how Sergio completed this job. He and his crew were here every day until it was finished. They also pressure washed and stained the deck. It looks awesome. I feel very grateful that I chose Sergio to do this work in my house."

"Derek did a nice job painting the interior of house . He helped my husband move furniture around to allow for us both to continue working from our laptops as each room was painted. Derek showed up bright and early each day, and kept all promises and our personal requests. We have high cathedral ceilings and Derek had all the right equipment to do the job right. He cleaned up at the end of each day, and before the weekend, he fully cleaned up so we could enjoy our space for a few days. This was a 3 week job, so sharing our space for this duration of time could only happen with someone we trusted and could get along with. Even our dog Roxie got attached to Derek (LOL). Strongly recommend DS 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.
