"Erivan and his team were super responsive and responsible and great to work with. They did really high quality work for us, and I loved the result. They have been painting for years, and were referred to me from a friend who had them paint his historic Somerville home with many details. The team was always on time, and they were great problem solvers when things inevitably came up (we ran out of paint, for example). I was also impressed that they painted all the trim perfectly without painters tape :) Their work included doing some light spackling of wall cracks, and removal of shades before they started. Finally, they were super fast!"

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Al and his team at Essential Painting were fantastic. They painted the interior of our house, stained the front door, pressure washed the deck and pool patio, and repaired the deck. They provided a detailed proposal at a competitive price. They were prompt and completed the work as scheduled. They did an excellent job. The team was friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend them."

Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had B & R Painting Home Improvement at my home, and they did an amazing job. The owner, Ronaldo Renzo, came with another painter and they painted the walls from my hallway into the kitchen, plus the ceilings. Everything looks super clean, bright, and professionally done. They also went above and beyond by fixing a hole in the wall, repairing a cabinet, and making sure a drawer that wasn?t sliding right now works smoothly. They were on time, respectful in my home, and cleaned up completely before they left. I?m so happy with their work that I?m already having them come back to paint my living room next."

"I highly recommend Urbano Painting. They applied solid stain to the cedar siding and trim of our two-story colonial and performed some repair and replacement carpentry - at a price that was lower than all but one of the quotes I received. All of their work was impeccable. Jocimar and his whole team are a pleasure to deal with and went the extra mile to ensure our complete satisfaction. Everything was done with a high degree of professionalism, from prep work to staining to daily cleanup. The whole experience exceeded my expectations, and I hope to hire them again for interior painting."

"Ours is a small condo association of 5 houses. We called about 4 painting companies to look at our decks and give us a quote on Deck painting/staining. What is good about Rick's painting service and especially Rick is that he will come over at a time convenient to us unlike other companies who mostly look at their own convenience. Even though it was drizzling Rick showed up, waited for the rain to stop, he looked at the decks gave us some good suggestion and gave us a few pointers to think about. His quote was within our budget so we assigned him the project. Rick is very professional in his approach before he started the project he spoke to all unit owners and explained them how exactly he will stain/paint the deck. His team is also very professional they made sure garden beds near the deck is covered before they started the work, they made sure our lawn is not damaged by the stain/paint and chemicals. All the 5 unit owners are very happy with Ricks work. Another thing which i should mention is that he is very accommodating, our association due to this COVID scenario could not release his payment on time but Rick did not make a fuss about it he finished his job on time. I would recommend him to my friends and family."

FAQs for painting projects in Shirley, MA

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.
