"We hired James to stain our deck. He was invariably responsive, patient, and clear. And, equally if not more important, he did an excellent job! I plan to rehire James for future staining and painting jobs."

"The team at ABC Painting & Carpentry did an amazing job on our home. They washed it, replaced some trim and clapboard, primed, and stained/painted everything. They were thorough and worked from 7am until dusk each day. The crew is very skilled, meticulous and courteous. The owner is very responsive and flexible. Our 32 year old house looks new again! I highly recommend ABC Painting & Carpentry."

"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."

"Lindo responded to my request for a quotation more promptly than two other painting companies. Most of the painting in my house will be interior, but the exterior doors were painted on Monday before the weather gets too cold. Omar did an excellent job: he cleaned up, was polite, put everything back the way it was, and the quality of the painting makes our doors look like new, including the two front "double" doors and a side door. During the job, whenever there was a question, Omar always did the higher quality approach, even if it took a little longer: he removed all the small window shades that were on the door and their hardware (and put it back), he patched a couple of holes in the doors, he prepared the surfaces including sanding existing paint, he painted all nearby wood, including the door frames, using exterior green or exterior white, and then used interior white on the insides of the doors. Painting of all the remaining interior work will be this winter; if that's done as well as Omar did on the doors on Monday, then my wife and I will be very happy."

"Steve and his crew do exceptional work - professional, reliable, conscientious and top quality. It is obvious that they care about the quality of their work and they understand that the key to a good paint job is preparation and attention to detail. Steve's crew worked extremely hard to prepare my home to accept its latest coat of paint, and the results speak for themselves as they produced a nearly flawless job. I have had my house painted 3 or 4 times over the years and Steve's work was by far the best - not even close. You cannot go wrong with these guys."

"I can't say enough about how great our experience with Target Painting was. They were professional, courteous and on time. They did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house with attention to detail. Once completed, they did a walk through around the house with us to make sure nothing was missed and that we were totally satisfied. They really cared about the work and made sure we were happy with the job. We would highly recommend Target for any painting projects. We will definitely use them again for any interior painting we may need done."

"Chet and his team did a great job painting the entire interior of our home. We had some very dark walls and a brown ceiling and I chose VERY light paint colors. I'm sure these areas were challenging to cover, but you can't even tell there used to be such dark colors in our home! The paint job is great and they were able to paint the entire interior of our home in 2 days. I would choose Silva Express Painting for any future painting jobs without hesitation 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.
