"The price was very reasonable and their attention to detail was incredible. They finished in under 2 days and even came back a third day when I wasn’t happy with the color in the basement (I originally asked them to simply touch up, but the paint didn’t match)."

"David and Christian were very professional and helped us get our ceiling painted without issue! They said it would be a two day project and ended up being just complete in one! Thankful for their services and Annapolis Painting for the great service."

All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

"My experience with Chesapeake Painting Solutions from my first inquiry via their website to the last day of the project was exemplary. It was all topped off by receiving a thank you bouquet of flowers the day after the project completed. Every resource, every interaction, and every conversation was professional, courteous and thorough. Mike in sales provided an on-site visit and quote in the same day! The project management team promptly scheduled and kept to the date committed. The painters were polite and highly skilled. The work quality is outstanding. I will surely call on CPS again, and recommend to others."

""Marvin and his team from Continental Home Improvements did an outstanding job painting our entire house! I provided a detailed list of exactly what I wanted, and Marvin met every single requirement perfectly. The quality of work is excellent — clean lines, great coverage, and attention to detail throughout. They finished the project on time with no delays, and the pricing was very reasonable. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend Marvin and Continental Home Improvements to anyone looking for a reliable and professional painting crew. Giving them a well-deserved 5 stars!""

FAQs for painting projects in West River, MD

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.
