"Ashley and her team did a great job on our drywall repair, trim, and paint project after we had water damage from flooding in our basement. The work was done in a timely manner and the work itself was top notch. We would definitely hire Coastal Finish again for other projects!"

"I hired a company highly reviewed on this site that walked off the job site prior to even starting, claiming he didn't charge enough as we negotiated the price. I waited 2 weeks to start this job and now I had no contractor. I called Dave Taylor early on a Monday afternoon for a quote, he showed up later that day. Monday evening he called and asked if he could start on Tuesday morning (!), when the other guy was to actually start painting. Dave and John showed up at 8:30 and the job was completed by noon on Wednesday. Taylor'd Painting was to start a 2 week job and he literally squeezed us in. I didn't feel I was in a position to negotiate a price, but we did I think we're both quite satisfied. I can't say enough about these guys, hire them today!"

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.
