"Fantastic Job. Recently bought this home but we were not happy with the dull, dark interior colors. Tried other contractors but we got the best price quote and color advice from Brian. The work that he and his team have done has completely transformed the house. Absolutely love it. Team was on time every day, very professional and friendly, cleaned up completely when they were done for the day. One room was very difficult and Brian took care of it himself. We are now look at painting the deck and other rooms upstairs and we will hire them again. Highly recommended!"

"I hired Stratos Painting to paint the exterior of a house that had issues with cracking and fading. Jason assured me that after his company was done most if not all of the cracks that were present would be gone. Sure enough they were and the job they did painting, replacing some shingles and trim was awesome. I am confident no other painting company would have done the job as well as Stratos Painting. Jason and his main guy Vinnie were great to work with."

"North Painting did an excellent job painting our living room. Their work was professional, clean, and carefully done from start to finish. The quality of the painting was outstanding, and they paid great attention to detail while keeping the area neat and organized. We are very happy with the final result and truly appreciate their hard work. I would highly recommend North Painting to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and high-quality painting services."

"We needed a home exterior painted along with soffit/facial amd shingle repairs done. They found a color that closely matched what we wanted, pressure washed the entire house (hadn't been painted for decades), performed the repairs and did the painting within our time frame. They did excellent work, left no mess amd provided updates regarding progress. We subsequently hired them to rebuild the front steps of the same house . Again, excellent work. I highly recommend them."

"I had a great experience with Jose. He didn’t just paint the walls but got rid of all the imperfections and didn’t multiple coats of paint. The walls look brand new. Showed up on time and didn’t leave the job until the project was completed. I will defiantly be hiring him 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.
