"I found TLS Painting on Angies List. I was immediately impressed with Tyler when he came out to give me an estimate. I needed painting done, but also repair of damage done due to extreme sun exposure. Tyler pointed out areas that needed repair and was knowledgeable in those areas as well. I was really pleased with everything that he did, and felt that his bid was very fair. I would not hesitate to recommend Tyler and TLS Painting and would definitely use them again in the future!"

"Excellent! I highly recommend Prather's Painting. Erick did a good job painting the interior of my home which included several extras such as painting the old ceiling vents that turned out to be the icing on the cake. He went above and beyond to insure we would be happy with the end result. All those annoying eye sores around the house are gone. I felt the price was fair. Thumbs up for Prather's Painting."

"Michael went above and beyond to make sure the product that he was going to apply was right for my job. He asked the factory paint rep to meet with me at my house to ensure the stain chosen was best for my home. Mike kept in touch with me, was on time, very professional and his work exceeded my expectations."
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.
