"Juan and his team do impeccable work. I never thought I would be able to strip and repaint my original 1940’s kitchen cabinets ….they had about 10 layers of paint to be removed. Juan not only got it done but my cabinets are now smooth and look brand new. He is a miracle worker! Always polite and accommodating, he worked around our work schedules and was always on time. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Juan and universe painting are the absolute best! Thank you."

"I recently had the interior of my home painted, including 5 rooms, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dwayne was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to detail from start to finish. The walls look smooth, clean, and perfectly finished, and the lines around the trim and ceilings were sharp and neat. He took his time to properly prep the rooms, kept everything clean throughout the process, and completed the job in a timely manner. The color came out beautiful, and the entire space feels fresh and transformed. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality interior painting. Excellent work, great communication, and very reliable!"

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.
