"Tom and his team were great through the whole process. Tom provided a reasonably-priced quote and explained the process. He also set the expectation of how much time it would take before the work started. They started the work earlier than expected, which was great! And then Tom's team did an excellent job onsite with the exterior painting of our whole house. I would certainly recommend JD Hostetter to anyone."

"We needed interior painting, wall repairs, stove hood refurbishing, steel doors repair, andv staining. These painters had square feet of walls, ceilings, stairs, and trim. They submitted a detailed estimate for every room. They listed all supplies they would need. They started on the exact day they estimated. Shane and Makenzie also offered paint samples for suggestions and gave us honest recommendations when we wanted their advice. The lines where a wall meets the ceiling is crisp and clean. It is true, Painted by Shane can paint! They spent as much effort covering items as painting. Our home was spotless. Painted by Shane is very fairly priced and their work is a source of pride to them. They were very quick to communicate. It has been enjoyable to work with and meet them. We will use them again and again."

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.
