"Very pleasant. Very careful with landscaping, covered everything so it wouldn't get paint on it. Non-intrusive, no requests to come in the house, Showed up when they said they would. Replaced some rotten wood for a small extra feel. I am very pleased and would recommend them highly."

"M-J Home Improvement did a MARVELOUS job!! I initially specced out some concrete repair on my driveway, which Marvin handled perfectly, and in discussion it led to repair of rear patio pavers, egress window pit repair and painting the exterior of the house and shed. I whole heartedly recommend Marvin for your home improvement projects. The house was yellow and you can see in the pictures that yellow paint had been sponged onto the brick as an accent. Marvin was able to perfectly match the brick color and went so far as to touch up every last yellow spot so it now looks like fresh brick, Fantastic!"

"I was experiencing my gutters overflowing. Every rainfall, water would spill out of my gutters instead of my downspouts. I was very frustrated. I did some research and discovered Mr. Handyman. They were WONDERFUL. They came and cleaned out piles of leaves from the previous years and now my gutters and downspouts are working properly. This is the first time in YEARS I’ve seen my gutters sparkle."

"When I lived in Vermillion SD, John did all of my remodeling projects from 1994-2016. These included totally gutting and finishing my kitchen; finishing a basement to include a den, bedroom, bath, and laundry room; and replacing the exterior siding and trim on my 1974 house. He is an amazing carpenter/craftsman. He is easy to work with and comes up with creative solutions to problems. He comes at a moment when notice when emergencies arise and his rate is extremely reasonable. I highly recommend John for any addition or remodeling project."
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.
