"I needed painting done by Mon. Called Sat evening and Jessie came out to give us an estimate. We gave him the go ahead and he was there Sun morning.

Will hire them again for future projects! Very professional, cleaned up when finished, arrived on time!"

"Karl and Staci installed a tongue and groove vaulted ceiling in our family room and did an excellent job. They ordered quality hardwood from Vermont and did the staining themselves. it looks fantastic! They were prompt, clean, right on estimate, and wonderful to have in our home. They even added extra insulation around the existing skylights. While they were on site, window replacement installation in the same room was also being done by a local glass company, and extensive wood rot was discovered around the frame. Karl cheerfully took on the job of replacing all the rotted wood so that the window could be installed that week as well. We intend to use them in the near future for a powder room addition."

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.
