"We contacted Shield Painting after realizing that we were in over our heads trying to paint our 1200sqft home ourselves on a tight timeline. Isaias came out within an hour of us contacting him (on a Saturday afternoon, nonetheless) to give us a quote. The quote was EXTREMELY competitive and they were able to get in and get the job done first thing Monday morning. The entire house was painted in 1 day. We were absolutely thrilled with the job Isaias and his crew did. We are 2 weeks into our home now and not a day goes by that we don't talk about how worth every penny hiring Isaias was. We will definitely be contacting Shield Painting if we have painting needs in the future! We can't thank you enough for making our house feel like home"

"I hired Skillmans Total Home Care to re-tile my bathroom floor and walls with a specialized pattern I had seen online. Dustin was extremely professional in offering me a different pattern that he believed would look better with the layout of the room. He was absolutely correct. The entire job is completely flawless. His professionalism and passion for what he does is unmatched AND at a very favorable rate. He also saw some paintings I had yet to hang and offered to hang them for me. I could not decide where to put them but he found the perfect home on my walls. I could not have been more pleased with the remarkable experience of using Skillmans Total Home Care and will continue using them when needed as well as referring them to anyone I know in need of a true master of their craft."

"They are so good! You should hire them!"
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.
