"I had my ceiling painted in my entire house. I had smoke damage from my wood stove and paint on the ceiling. The previous home owner had a little girl who painted her room purple and got some of the paint on the ceiling. Dwayne did a beautiful, professional job. I could tell that he is proud of his work and his attention to detail. There was no dripping. The lines where the walls and ceiling met were crisp. I was surprised he cleaned my house and moved my furniture back after he was finished. I didn’t expect that. I would definitely hire him again for future paint jobs."

"Don Shin and his AA Painting were dependable and meticulous. Once we agreed to the project with AA, they were quickly available and did the work in one day. Don suggested a penetrating stain for the walls and a brighter, more cleanable paint for the metal trim, which we had originally thought might be matte. Since we were going from a dark wood color to a lighter one, his people did multiple coats. The crew moved all furniture and carefully removed several bamboo shades and brackets (which they later reinstalled). Their plastic drop film and taping work was carefully done to produce a painting job that was literally perfect--not one drop spilled, not one piece of furniture harmed. They were neat, courteous, and professional, both with us and with the staff of our condominium building. In the midst of the job my wife had a medical emergency. Since we saw that the AA people were very reliable, we had no problem leaving them to their work while we ran to the clinic. We are definitely thinking of AA for other projects."

"Prime Paint Concepts was terrific! They painted my main floor. They were timely. They were extremely careful at taping and covering. They worked efficiently. They tackled my hard-to-reach 30+ foot wall over the stairs with ease. They added a third coat of paint when it was needed for a dark room. They cleaned up each day and especially at the finish - it was if they hadn’t been there. Everything looks beautiful! They were quick, quiet, and careful. I will use them again and will recommend them to others."

"Professional painting with a quick response time, attention to detail, and a fair price. Victor and Edwin painted my house to prepare for market and did a beautiful job. They walked through the house with me, gave a fair quote; and did the work the same day. Highly recommend. Top notch customer service and communication and superior quality work."

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.
