"This was a very large commercial interior painting job - large kitchen, restrooms, clubhouse w/wood trim, ceilings, doors and a lot of trim work. Jim showed up on time to give me a bid on the job. He is very knowledgeable regarding painting and has great suggestions. He said this job would take him 4 - 6 weeks to complete. It took Jim a month - 22 days {8-10 hrs/day] to complete this job which was 2 weeks sooner than we had expected. He took time and care in prepping which paid off in the long run. The walls, which had a lot of holes in them from pictures, looked brand new when he was finished. He painted over paneling and it looks amazing. He doesn't tape anything off - he works totally free hand and does an excellent job. He had great suggestions and everything came out better than expected. There was absolutely no mess or clean up. He showed up every day promptly and kept me informed on what he would be working on and completion times. Jim was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend High Mountain Painting. I would definitely hire Jim again."

"Bob mixed his carpentry skills with his creativity and built a custom dining table and four stools to match for me. He was very communicative throughout the whole design process and his attention to detail did not go unnoticed. My table is the center point of my space and I couldnâ t be happier with the craftsmanship or the customer service. Thanks, Bob!"

"Matt did a great job with our house. There was some bad weather that washed some of the paint off after they left. Matt and his crew came back out over the next few days and repainted everything and finished our home. Our home looks bigger, cleaner, and brand new. The bid that was proposed was right on with my budget. I would recommend Southern Colorado Painting to anyone looking for any type of paint project."
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.
