"Derek end his team at Complete Painting & Restoration truly exceeded our expectations. As first time homebuyers, the prospect of painting all 2,100 sqft of our townhouse one neutral wall color with one trim seemed daunting. Derek and his team made the entire process seamless and even helped us select colors. We will definitely be using Complete Painting & Restoration again."

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"Ten Home was great from quote to finish. Tom is a very professional and nice guy. I was offsite and he kept me updated on the work through texts and photos. I m selling a house that was being rented for the last 5 years. They did a lot for me: replaced some rotting wood on and painted an entire garage: replaced, fixed and secured some wood on and stained a deck: painted the railings on the front porch: painted the wood below 5 storm windows: painted the wood between 3 storm windows that hadn t been removed in over 30 years and then put the windows back in place: they tested and ultimately replaced a GFCI outlet in the bathroom along with securing the vanity to the wall. All the work was done in a timely fashion and at a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them and plan on using them in the future."

"Hired Marty to paint 30 yr old 4' cedar fence around back yard. Offered fair price. Power washing revealed more repair required than initially thought. Adjusted price favorably to encompass increased scope of work. Did excellent job repairing & painting fence. He and his team honest, pleasant, good to work with. Highly recommended."

I definitely recommend them and will use them for additional needs in tge future."

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.
