"We are very pleased with the overall experience with Tommy and his crew. They were prompt, polite, and showed attention to detail. We had our cedar sided cottage and outbuildings stained and sealed. There was some damage from woodpeckers that they repaired. It looks refreshed! We highly recommend them!"

"What started out with a ridge vent repair ended up with a complete roof replacement all due to wind damage which I couldn't see or know of from the ground. Wind damaged the vent and then some. A claim was filed with our insurance company. They approved the claim. Lucas did all the leg work with the insurance company which was a big relief for me. Did not have to initiate any phone calls. Installation came and went in one day. 40 square job. The crew didn't miss a step. Job well done, including clean up of all debris AND NAILS. Working with Lucas was a pleasure. No pressure. Very straight forward with everything. As I said it was a big job and well done! Glad I had them do the work. Very very pleased."

"Jason was very professional and courteous. He explained what and how he would paint and how long it would take. All furniture and surfaces were covered and everything was cleaned before he departed. Jason followed up the next day to make sure we were satisfied. We will use him again."

"Overall very well! Sean was personable, punctual, and very efficient. I would certainly recommend him. Only minor issue was one cabinet door rubbed against the frame when closed due to multiple layers of thick paint. Sean warned us not to close the door for two days to let the paint dry to try and avoid chipping, but it still chipped anyway when we closed it a couple days later, so we just sanded it down and plan to touch up the frame. Other than that everything looks great."

"Weather became a problem but eventually the exterior painting job was completed in an efficient timely manner. Once started the job was completed in 2 days."
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.
