"Fridholm Painting was highly recommended on the Nextdoor listserv by previous clients, so we scheduled a visit for an estimate for interior and exterior painting. John Fridholm personally came to provide the estimate within a few days, and he described what would be needed given what we were requesting (primer to cover murals, stain for cedar shingles). We decided to split the work into separate jobs - interior then exterior - given our budget, although we found his estimates to be very fair. Matt did the interior work - kitchen and bedroom. He arrived exactly on time each morning for the 2-day interior job. He was very professional, did a meticulous job, cleaned up thoroughly, and was super patient with my friendly but barking dog. I highly recommend Fridholm, and we will ABSOLUTELY have them back in the spring for the exterior work."

"Excellent company ... Project was staining a log home & painting a metal sided barn/garage. A very detailed quote showed Michael had listened to me during conversations on phone and visit to our property. Angi has so far been a good source for reliable contractors. Clean Cut Painting employees are very efficient and personable. They showed up each day ready to work and work they did. Ryan kept me informed during the prep process as my log home needed a lot of TLC. Weather cooperated (most of the time) and the project was completed in less than two weeks. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of his and his crew's work. Attention to detail was excellent. I would hire this company for any painting projects I may have in the future. I've also recommended this company to friends and neighbors. Thank you Clean Cut Painting for a job well done."

"We are extremely pleased with Dave and the work he completed for us. We hired Dave to repair a hole in a bathroom wall and paint the ceiling and walls of this bathroom. His repair work and painting is excellent! The bathroom looks great! Dave was easy to connect to about the job. His estimate was spot on and did not waiver from the original price quote. We definitely recommend Dave Pechette for drywall and painting jobs."

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.
