"Chesapeake Painting was a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the end. They were prompt, courteous, and professional. From the time I requested a quote to the end of the project was two weeks. Even though it was a relatively small job they treated us as though we were million dollar clients. We will definitely be using them again."

"Very well, Raúl and his crew did an excellent job painting most all of the interior of our home. His price was reasonable for the job, he was always on time and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. I have to say I was so fortunate to find him. You can’t go wrong using him for your next painting job. And I am picky!"

We love the finished product - new exterior paint on a brick row house, repaired and painted concrete steps and porch, painted steel rail, and stained wooden deck. I will hire Roland and Emerald Painting for all similar future projects."

"Patched the walls and painted an entire apartment for me. Arrived on time and worked steadily and diligently until the work was complete. The apartment looked new when they finished with it. I am very pleased and plan to use them again for another painting project in the main house. This was the second time I hired Five Star to do some sheetrock repairs and painting but this time it was in my main home. They did an excellent job at both the repairs and the painting and I will hire them again for my next 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.
