"This is the second time I've used Painting by Tibi. And, I would absolutely hire them again. They are professional, tidy, and honest. If you are unsatisfied with any aspect of their work, they will make sure it is completed well. On top of their quality work, they are usually one of the most reasonable quotes I receive too. I cannot say enough good things about their work and I would highly recommend them for any interior or exterior painting needs."

"David was excellent. He helped me choose the right color to make my house look it’s best. He was very meticulous about everything and was extremely fast. He showed up every day and worked a full day. Not a drop of paint was spilled or sprayed on anything. He took down all light fixtures, cameras and removed unused items before painting. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"

"Working with Anthony and Joe from A1 Painting was an absolute pleasure. I first used them to re-paint a room and called them back, months later, when I needed my main suite and bathroom repainted. They are dependable and courteous, prompt, efficient and clean. We couldnâ t be happier with the result and highly recommend A1 Painters to anyone looking for professional, high quality painters."

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.
