"Steve did an outstanding job refinishing and painting our kitchen cabinets. He was meticulous about prepping the kitchen and his workmanship was first-rate. The spray painting went smoothly and because of his careful preparation, there was no paint on any surfaces where t didn't belong. He did a thorough clean up afterwards. The cabinets look brand new and we couldn't be happier. He is an excellent craftsman."

"Adam and Dan, of Magpie Painting, really are masters of their craft. I cold called them, the same day I heard from them by text and we set-up a walk through. In a matter of hours after the walk through, I received a professional, detailed and fair quote. Upon agreeing to their proposal, a schedule was set, they kept to it and were more than willing to integrate my rather adventurous color scheme. Their attention to prep was above and beyond anything I've seen and, accordingly, their lines were perfect! They also provided some excellent carpentry that finished off an almost finished renovation. Their suggestions were excellent, the communication was proactive, and their work was outstanding -- they really enjoy and take pride in what they do. I will be calling them for any painting projects I have going forward and highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent 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.
