"970 Pro Painting and its owner Lui Herrera have been amazing with painting projects not only in our office building, but also our business office. The work was performed perfectly from the bidding process through completion. Extremely clean, precise and professional in all aspects of our interactions. Truly an stress-free experience. Highly recommend and will use again for our painting projects in the future."

"Jason, the owner, came and met us to discuss what we wanted done. He took the appropriate measurements and provided a detailed estimate a few days later (which included testimonials from prior customers). Once we selected him (from the 3 estimates we obtained) we scheduled the work at a time convenient for both parties. When the time came, the painter he sent, Keith Foskey, did a great job. It was apparent that Keith cared about his work and communicated well while he was here. All in all, we were very happy with the results and would use Summit Painting again.

"Joe and Tina (Joe's Flooring and Painting) did an excellent job on our project! They were very clear in communication, budgeting and charged reasonable rates for quality work. They installed extra long vinyl plank flooring, baseboards, as well as remove and construct a new double wood staircase. They kept a clean work environment, were very polite and worked efficiently to complete the project in a timely manner. Would highly recommend Joe's Flooring and Painting for your flooring needs! Will definitely be hiring them again for their painting services this year."

"I came to know Snappy Painting via referral from a friend, as they were very pleased with both the interior painting and exterior staining services they received. I hired these guys for a full head to toe interior repainting project and I must say- I am throughly impressed! Zaneâ s communication, customer service and timeliness was more than satisfactory. Even better is the result- the attention to detail really sets this job apart. He even helped seal my windows just in time for the winter season. I simply canâ t recommend Snappy Painting co. enough! Thanks again, Zane!"

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.
