"Victor & his crew worked on the interior of my 1000 sq ft rental. Lots of problems with the rental itself. Advanced overcame all of them. I have worked with a number of painting contractors over the years, and Victor and his crew are some of the best. They do great work and they show real attention to detail. I would have no hesitation using them to paint my own home or referring them to my friends who were painting theirs."

"I want everyone to know that Whitestone Painters stand out for their customer satisfaction policy. We first had our interior painting done in Nov 2015 and I noticed that there was a problem with the paint, so I called and Ernie came right out. He agreed there was indeed a problem and said no problem, they would come back and repaint the rooms at my convenience, which they did this week. I never had a complaint with their quality of work, because they did an amazing job. It ended up that the paint was not washable as requested. They truly do stand by their customer satisfaction 100% and I will use them again the next time I need a job done. The painters were polite and treated my home as if it was theirs which really impressed me. I highly recommend Whitestone & you will not be disappointed !!"

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.
