"I am moving and needed a paint refresh before selling my home. Tom called me personally to speak with me about my needs and was at my house 2 days later for an estimate. He was exceptionally priced and worked with me for what I needed. He truly provided the service that he felt truly was needed for the home and not just to make extra money. Very professional and overall a nice person. Paint came out beautiful. Highly recommend."

"Joe is our go-to guy when it comes to painting and any carpentry work we need done. For $1,750 (not including the molding and paint costs), he and his crew put wood veneers on the risers of our new wood stairs and sanded and painted the sides (we got rid of the carpet & got our wood floors & stairs sanded & stained.) They also added molding all along the sides. Then, we got the molding replaced in our living room, dining room & upstairs hall. Plus, he painted a small bathroom. As an added bonus, he added new molding around the entryway into the kitchen- he just asked if I wanted it- for free! I got such a great deal from Joe! This is the third time he has done work for me and I'm sure I will be contacting him again in the future when I need carpentry and/or painting done! Professional, good communicator, great prices!"

"Wilber's Painting was able to rehab the townhouse in an adequate amount of time. He knew that special paint needed to be applied to block odors and stains, before new paint could be applied to the walls and ceiling. He fixed ceilings with water damage and repaired drywall. He worked diligently and the rehab was very successful. I highly recommend Wilber's Painting."

"They painted everything the same color. They painted the molding, doors, fixed some rot under the window, and painted the closets. They did a very nice job and I am very happy. The owner is a pleasure. The crew was very nice. They were prompt and did what they said they were going to do. They were able to finish the job within three days. I am very happy."

"This is the second time I have used this company. I have a very large hall with a 14 ft. ceiling that needed painting. Not only did they finish the job on time they did an excellent work. I also had a minor repair that needed to be done which was done perfectly. Before they left they vacuumed and cleaned up everything. You would not have known they were here. This is a great company and I will be using them again. Workers were very polite and professional. You can't go wrong using Concept Painting"

"Working with Brian and Pride Painting made my project very easy. They were professional, reliable, responsive, and neat. Two of the rooms required wall paper removal and painting. The finished walls look great! The pricing was exactly as promised. Pride Painting did an excellent job in my home. I would definitely use them 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.
