"We had an excellent experience with PC Painting! From the initial estimate to the final walk-through, their team was professional, punctual, and respectful of our home. They paid incredible attention to detail, patching minor cracks and ensuring perfectly crisp, clean lines between the walls and trim. The crew was friendly, tidy, and finished the project on schedule. The final result is stunning—we will definitely be hiring them AGAIN!"

"He really worked really hard. He did a good painting job. It wasn't like a couture painting job, you know what I mean? It wasn't like a high end everything perfect, but most people would be very happy with his work. He painted a rental. I offered him a bonus to do a deadline so he finished well within the deadline. He worked long hours to get it done on time so we could get a tenant in. He was very responsive and easy to get in touch with him. The price was right; he was very competitive price wise."

"I hired this company based on reviews from Angie's list. My experience was a bit different than the A + rating they had. The answered my call for a quote and arrived on time. The communicated in Spanish about everything. We all walked the house together and I pointed out everything that needed painting. We had a discussion about the master bath, the last words I heard George senior tell me was "we can fix this". They quoted me a price of $3400.00 and said if I got everything done at once, he would take $200.00 off. I didn't get other quotes because I just moved in and time was a factor, so I can't really comment on price. During the week, they dropped of a large paint sample thing to make may choices from. They arrived early to start the two-day job, a Friday and a Saturday. They finished the job on Saturday, as promised. My master bath was not painted, the wood on the steps was not painted, they removed all the drapery hardware and it was tossed out apparently, they took a blind down in the master bedroom and I had to remind many times for them to fix it, they did with crazy glue. The walls and ceiling are beautiful but the trim is horrible. I am still painting over spots that were missed or the paint was wiped off when they cleaned the floors. There was a quarter sized drop of paint on my maple dining room table. There was a large spot of white trim paint on the colored wall in the hall, but worst of all I continue to clean small spots and areas where there is white paint on the oak floors. They did do me one favor and lift a TV back up above the fireplace that had been taken down for painting. They did leave all the extra paint in the basement, one bucket not closed and has a paint roller floating in it. The worst thing was them teasing my dogs and getting them agitated and pushing each other towards them and laughing. Overall, I don't think I had an "A" experience. Unfortunately I would not recommend them or use them again.

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.
