"They were absolutely amazing! Before hiring them, I hired a cheaper painter. Do yourself a favor, don’t waste money on anyone else. If you want absolute perfection, look no further. They painted my old wood paneling walls and it looks like a brand new house! I’m beyond grateful for them. As a Marine, and slightly OCD about small details, it makes me so happy to have a perfectly painted home. These guys were extremely professional and courteous. They explained every step and were more than patient with me during our final walkthrough. If you see any detail that you prefer to be corrected, they will fix it. I literally have a perfectly painted home because of them. This was the best money I’ve ever spent! And they were so fast and efficient. I was honestly amazed! I am so so grateful for them."

"We feel very fortunate to have found Cliff to take our newly purchased home to the next level by completing the bonus room makeover of our dreams! We contacted three other businesses for estimates but chose to hire Cliff for the job because of his knowledge, experience, and fine attention to detail. We connected immediately and he brought many ideas to us that we hadnâ t thought of before. We now have an incredible modern rec/tv room with beautiful new hardwoods that match the adjoining ones perfectly. On one side he installed a gorgeous kitchenette with a 5 foot tall ornate tile backsplash and quartz countertops, complete with two gorgeous 11 foot long wooden floating shelves that he built from scratch. On the other side of the room, he installed a 16 foot wall of horizontal shiplap (no seams!) and mounted our tv over the full wall of cabinets he installed with another quartz countertop. The barn doors at the entrance have been refaced and are now sleek and modern. Cliff and his crews nailed every element of this large project that included plumbing, flooring, electrical, and painting. Cliff has gone out of his way to meet me at stores to select stains or help me find the perfect cabinet hardware. I am very particular and he is extremely patient to ensure we get exactly what we want while taking care of our property. He will definitely be our top choice for any other home renovations in the future!"

"I have hired Hector from R&B Construction for two jobs. Both times he has gone above and beyond. He responded to my request in a timely manner, showed up at the arranged time, gave a reasonable quote, finished the job, and cleaned up afterwards. There was an issue on the second job that we were not happy with - he returned the following day and worked until we were very satisfied. He can work magic with drywall. I highly recommend Hector for your drywall or painting needs!!!"

"Jesse Renovations was hired to paint/stain my unfinished covered porch. He was very professional and came out and gave me an estimate to power wash and stain/paint. I liked his professionalism and knowledge. There was one problem encountered but he came up with a solution to solve the problem to my satisfaction."

"They are excellent to work with."
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.
