"I had the pleasure of working with Paint The DMV recently, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team did an absolutely fantastic job painting my house. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Stephen Lehto’s professionalism truly stood out. He took the time to thoroughly assess my needs, provided valuable suggestions, and ensured that the project was executed flawlessly. His attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch service were evident. Not only was the quality of their work exceptional, but the entire team at Paint The DMV was courteous and respectful throughout the process. They maintained a clean and organized workspace, which I greatly appreciated. Stephen’s expertise and guidance were invaluable, making the entire painting process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and helpful team. My house now looks stunning, thanks to Paint The DMV! If you’re in need of painting services and want an outstanding experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Paint The DMV. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly remarkable.

"Mr. Mendez and his crew did an excellent job with our skylights installation and painting our shutters and also painting our kitchen and family room. He is very responsive and completed the work very efficiently. Will definitely be calling him again for more painting projects. Highly recommend him. UPDATED AS OF 02/27/2022: Mr. Mendez also replaced our stair railing. He built everything from scratch. He also replaced some light fixtures. He does so much more besides painting. We plan on calling him when we renovate our lower family room."

"I've hired Charles to do two interior painting jobs now. My VERY picky best friend also used him and was equally pleased. Quality is good. Price is very fair. Charles is extremely professional and also gives me thoughts about what will and won't work. He also caulked some of my ceiling cracks (which wasn't being painted) as part of the job which I really appreciated! Would recommend Charles to anyone."

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.
