"I can't recommend Henry's Professional Painting highly enough! If 10 stars were possible, they would get 10 from me. My old home hadn't been painted in decades. It needed lots of stucco repair and prep work. Tommy and his crew did a fantastic job! My house looks beautiful! I am just thrilled with their work. They finished a day earlier than expected. Henry, Tommy and Sara patiently answered all of my questions and were super nice folks all the way through. I will definitely hire them again."

"Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted by our stucco and wood trim on the entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on the stucco walls and wood fascia and I have not even considered touch up painting if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work provided is proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering the a great product and service. Nick"

"I have relied on Lifetime Custom Painting for over three years. Whenever I call, they are extremely friendly and come to my home within a few days to prepare their bid. They have painted both the inside and outside of my home and done some repair to various areas, including drywall. The employees have been extremely friendly, polite and helpful even when I change my mind. That is one of the things I like about this company. The job is done very well, and cleanup is good, which means a lot to me.

"Chris & his entire team were great to work with. His estimate was clear, the price competitive, and his team was ready to start right away. Over the course of a few days his team removed the popcorn from the ceilings, retextured and painted. They also removed some wallpaper for me. I am thrilled with the results and would recommend them highly to anyone who needs similar work done.

"They entire team was professional and worked quickly and quietly. They cleaned up after each painting session and Jesus himself inspected everything. He has a great eye for detail and makes sure that everything looks perfect. I was really pleased with his work and the professionalism of the team. I have already hired him to texture coat some walls and paint them in a small apartment as well.
The thing that people should know besides the fact that this company is professional and efficient is that they also do a lot more than just paint. They can do exterior stucco, cabinetry, texturing of walls and painting and MUCH more! I have a tight budget so I am doing things gradually, but I couldn't be happier with the results!!

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.
