"Carlos and his team at Distinctive Enterprises & Painting, LLC recently painted the exterior and interior of our home, along with staining our deck railing and did an incredible job! They provided a thorough estimate and I was able to get all my questions answered along the way. Carlos was incredibly prompt and provided excellent communication the entire way. Prices were incredibly fair and the attention to detail he and his crew put in was evident. I would highly recommend the team at Distinctive Enterprises & Painting, LLC for any of your painting/staining needs! Thank you Carlos and team!"

"The company is wonderful. I used them some 20 years earlier, and wouldn't dream of using another company now. This time, as before, they were professional, courteous, extrememely hard-working, and terrifically efficient. They were easy to contact, and answered all my questions immediately. The job is beautifully done. Samantha, the owner, and Ben (the lead person on dry rot repair prior to painting) were absolutely great. Submitted by Roger Porter (porter@reed.edu) Summer, 2021."

"I hired Bruce for my new construction, interior and exterior. He exceeded our expectations. He kept in touch to ensure it was done in a timely manner and in the window we were wanting it. If fact we were so happy with the end result we hired him again for our rental unit. We even had new carpets installed the day before he arrived to paint (Due to a tight timeline) and after inspecting the house when he was finish you would have thought he painted before they were installed. I didn’t see a drop of paint on it. The rental looked just as good as our new build. We will continue to hire him for all our painting needs."

"5Start rescued us from a painting project gone bad. They were so helpful, understanding and professional. Everything went exactly as they explained it would. They cleaned up everyday before leaving. The painting they did was excellent. My only regret is that we didn't hire them to begin with! I would definitely choose them again and will be recommending them to our friends who need painting done."

"They were fast, and overall did a good job. I was concerned about having my house sprayed, however, because of past experiences with overspray on windows. I mentioned this concern, and was assured that this would not happen because all windows would be completely covered with plastic. It turned out not to be the case. Some windows were covered, but most were not. There was overspray, on some windows, and paint spots on some of the white window frames. I'm working with them to get all of this cleaned. It might not be a problem for everyone. But it's a problem for me because I can't climb a ladder to get to the windows."

FAQs for painting projects in Vancouver, WA

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.
