I sincerely appreciate his prompt and professional service and I highly recommend him! Splash of Colors is the BEST!"

"Eric Painted all of the interior of my tri level home. He was kind, professional, and very detail oriented. He went above and beyond, making sure that every wall and ceiling were meticulously coated. This was not an easy task since my walls were going from being green and red to all white! This is the best paint job my home has ever had! I will definitely use his services again in the future and refer him to everyone I know. Thanks again, Eric!"

"I recently bought a new house in Cobbs Creek, VA, and hired Custom Brush Painting with Pedro and his team to paint the interior of all the rooms. I could not be happier with the results. Pedro runs a very professional crew—skilled, efficient, and detail-oriented. They completed the entire job in just 4 days, and the quality of the work is outstanding. What impressed me most was the care they took in protecting my furniture, floors, and ceilings. Everything was covered and secured so well that there was no mess at all, just beautifully painted walls. Pedro’s team worked seamlessly together, and their professionalism really showed throughout the project. If you’re looking for top-quality painting done quickly and with great attention to detail, I highly recommend Pedro and Custom Brush Painting."

Customers say: Quick response
"Fantastic Job. I cannot stress enough how professional this company is. Every single promise was carried through. They started work on the promised date, showed up on time, moved all the furniture and then returned it when the job was completed, with everything cleaned up properly. The paint job was perfect with all the holes accrued over 50+ years patched seamlessly. Every step of the process was done with courtesy and professionalism. All husbands should appreciate that I came home to zero complaints and that is worth every penny of a job well done. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed. Our son was thrilled with his "Philadelphia Eagles" painted bedroom so don't be afraid to ask Michael for something a little out of the ordinary."

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.
