"I can’t believe how amazing it was having this team fix my garage. Not only did they fix the mess from the previous epoxy, they explained exactly what I needed that would be durable for garage. The work was done on time and the team was incredibly professional. They even helped me get stuff in and out of the garage that wasn’t within reach. I will definitely recommend this group to anyone who asks for any kind of work relating to epoxy and painting."

"They started 8/17. I asked for everything to be white, with an accent wall in 3 rooms all of a gray. Agreed on a pop of dark gray also on a ledge and a small wall. The 18th I came home to find, the laundry room, sm hallway, kitchen and 3 of the livingroom walls all gray. I called Chris he got so riled up and said I never said no such thing, called me a liar multiple times, over talked when I tried speaking. I said I would be calling Angi, he went all kinds of ugly. He said no your not this is my livelihood. He said he'd make a report the following morning, call my how, and bring the police. After he kept over talking me, I hung up on him. He then texted me. We left it as for him to fix the issue would cost me an extra 750.00. I still have his texts. That Thursday I came home to a empty 5 gallon of paint and a empty gallon of paint in my garage, a light fixture don't put back up. (I have cathedral ceilings ugh."

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.
