"Daniel and his team at Soco Painting did a fantastic job on the exterior paint job. They were quick, thorough and communicative including tackling some minor dry rot repair and shutter replacement plus final touch ups. All for a far price. A+ No complaints."

"They removed the old surface of kitchen cabinets and painted them. They were careful to make sure no paint or spray got into any other part of the house. Their quoted price did not change. I highly recommend them!"

"We hired Yonan and team to paint the exterior of our house. We added board and baton and there was a ton of touch up and patch work as part of the prep. The communication was top notch, the team was courteous and professional, the job was done quickly, and it looks amazing. We couldn't be happier with the work! We now have a reliable painter for all our future needs. Thank you!!"

"We hired Dan to paint our rental home, his work was very satisfactory. His price was very reasonable and he was attentive to detail. After the rental was finished we had him paint another home for us...did an excellent job. We 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.
