"On the Job Painting exceeded our expectations. They just completed an exterior paint job of our shingles and trim. The crew was prompt, clean, courteous and meticulous with their work. Keith checked in regularly to insure we were being taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a painting contractor, and I will contact them again if we decide to do any interior painting work in the future. You may get quotes from other companies that come in lower, but do not be fooled. On the Job Painting performs at a higher quality than the average company. For this type of investment we are happy we chose them over other bids."

From start to finish, Benny was professional, personable, and extremely reliable. He was always punctual, kept the work areas clean and organized, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of his workmanship was outstanding, and the repairs and paint finish look excellent throughout the house. Most importantly, Benny completed the project on time and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional who is skilled, dependable, and thorough. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to hire EMB Construction again for future projects."

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.
