"The Marioni crew were amazing! The service was top notch! Removing wallpaper from 3 large areas and one small area was no easy task. They did the job and it looked fantastic. The painting was flawless. Above all, the crew were so accommodating to my special needs brother."

"I found Alcantara Painting through Instagram, I followed their work for a while and both my husband and I decided to give them a chance to paint our concrete porch floor and painting our front door. Frank was very professional and punctual the day he came to give me our estimate. While Frank was there giving us our estimate I asked him to also quote me on painting our living room high ceiling walls, which needed SO MUCH work (we have 2 boys so you can imagine), and installing shutters. The interior paint job was supposed to be a project for the near future, but we could not pass the AMAZING deal that Frank gave us, so we decided to go through with everything. The day Frank and his brother David and their crew arrived I was only expecting them to start on the exterior paint job but they actually prepped for the interior also. Everyone in the crew was 100% professional and friendly. We felt very comfortable with them, super sweet and funny and down to earth! The entire job was completed in 3 days including them having to come back for the third day because one set of shutters did not arrive on time. We have found our exclusive painting company and have recommended and will continue to recommend this company from here on out. Definitely give them a call!"

"We have used Chris for many years now to maintain our shore house, including power washing, exterior and interior pricing. His work is high quality, his prices are reasonable, and he is extremely responsive and reliable (which is tough to find in Cape May!). He is very professional, and has no problem picking up the paint brush himself. We really enjoy working with him and highly recommend him."

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.
