"Excellent work, very, very pleased with the painting results! Excellent work quality, fair pricing, listened to our specific requests for the job, and followed through, was willing to accept change orders, and reschedule job because flooring was done at the same time, and new baseboards added throughout the house. Replied to texts quickly. Communication is so important in home remodeling projects, with homeowners and the workers on the job. Seth is a master communicator! Again, amazing, beautiful paint work!! Workers were at the house all day, diligently working. You will be very pleased working with EmeraldPro, a fantastic company!! 1.31.2020"

"Painter 1 did a great job. Olga is very organized as the office manager and bidder. She gave us a fair bid and told us exactly when the painters would arrive and how long it would take, which I appreciated. There were a couple of minor problems, which they were prompt to handle fairly and to our satisfaction. The painters were professional and polite and cleaned up everything after they were finished. The new paint job looks beautiful and we would not hesitate to hire them again."

FAQs for painting projects in West Valley City, UT

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.
