"We were very pleased with the service, attention to detail and cost of our home pre-marketing project. John Atallah and his team removed popcorn ceilings, repaired any cracks/defects, painted ceilings & walls & screened/polyurethaned our floors. The process took about a week and a half. So well done, weâ re having 2nd thoughts about selling! ð We wholeheartedly endorse Johnâ s Final Touch & will use them again in our new home."

"I needed someone to come out a power wash my home before I listed it for sale. Carols gave me a very fare price over the phone. I am extremely busy and didn't have time to meet him. He came by, I put the payment in a spot outside and came home to an excellent job. He got my gutters back to white somehow. And I have tried many times myself with my commercial power washer. Very honest and did an amazing job. Thank YOU!!!!"

"Fernando and his crew did a beautiful job at our home. We had both exterior and interior work done. Both areas were done extremely well and we are delighted with the results. We had our deck stained and a portion of our foundation painted. We also had our oak floors re-finished but that is an understatement. The floors look like they were newly installed. I highly recommend Fernando and his team for their promptness, neatness and professionalism in completing the jobs within our timeframe and budget. I will definitely hire again."

Communication was clear and timely, and they took care to ensure everything was completed to my satisfaction. If you’re looking for a dependable and skilled team for painting or general home updates, CRS Painting is an excellent choice."

"My Pro was on time each day, protected all my floors. Great job tiling my bathroom floor and painting my bathroom. Pleasant, neat, clean. Highly recommend!"
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.
