"PRO:
CEDAR SIDING - STRIPPING / RE-FINISHING WENT REASONABLY WELL AND 2-3 YEARS LATER STILL LOOKS GOOD.
CON:
THEIR ARE A FEW PLACES WHERE THE FUNGUS WAS NOT COMPLETED REMOVED. THEY ALSO LEFT A FAIR AMOUNT OF PULP IN THE CHANNELS VIA THE STRIPPING PROCESS.
THE PAINT ON GARAGE DOORS BUBBLED UP AND HAD TO BE RE-PAINTED. THIS COMPANY WAS NON-RESPONSIVE WHEN I CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE GARAGE DOORS, SO I AM IN THE PROCESS OF STRIPPING THE DOORS AND RE-FINISHING THEM MYSELF.

"Rico construction did a wonderful job. They showed up quickly to provide an estimate and were able to get started right away. The owner Daybar was very helpful in giving us ideas and following up on our requests. We asked to have the old ceiling plaster (popcorn style) removed, retextured and painted. The job included repainting all rooms in the house. We negotiated to include fire taping and painting the interior of the garage. Everything turned out great! They were courteous, friendly and a very efficient team. We are very happy with the results. We would hire them again if any projects pop up in the future."

"This company is efficient, fairly priced and does an excellent job."
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.
