"Ben and Afterwalls Painting were phenomenal to work with! We hired them to do a light restoration and stain on our deck. Ben was courteous, efficient, left his work site clean and tidy, and did an awesome job! If you’re looking for a fair, honest, quality local contractor to do finishing work, I highly recommend Ben and Afterwalls Painting! 100/100 A+++"

"Al and his team were wonderful! Al gave me a start date and a completion date. Provided me with a price quote right away, in fact I received it while he was still at my house! The entire crew, Bernie, Brandon and Jay were super professional and always made sure to clean up each night before they left. They all were wonderful working around our furniture and our 2 large dogs and 3 cats! I can not say enough about the quality of work. Al skim coated over old beboard, making it look like sheetrock! We also smoothed out a rough wall downstairs. Jay completed our upstairs bathroom, entryway and laundryroom, building a closet to enclose our heat system, and a decorative wall to hide pipes, and installed a new vinyl floor! Noah came in did the final touch ups and offered some advise on the painting of stair risers. They came out so amazing! I get compliments all the time. My husband and I had had 2 previous terrible experiences with contractors, but Al and his crew restored my faith in contractors! I can not say enough about all of them. I am so grateful for this painless experience! Personally, I feel like a 5 star rating is an insult, Al and his team deserve a 10 in my book! We will be having them back again to do phase 2 of our project! You can not go wrong with Big Al's Painting!"

"Philippe was a great guy. A very good and detailed painter. But....there were some items that weren't finished and that we had to attend to ourselves (a few places that he'd patched, but never sanded and painted), and the cover to our doorbell (the interior part) that he removed for painting purposes seems to have disappeared. Also, he ended up being as expensive as the 'bigger' names in town...the ones that also come highly rated, but who send out 'teams' of painters and get the job done in 3 days or so. Philippe was here a full week. Again, a great guy, but not entirely sure I'd hire him again....."
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.
