"Eric Painted all of the interior of my tri level home. He was kind, professional, and very detail oriented. He went above and beyond, making sure that every wall and ceiling were meticulously coated. This was not an easy task since my walls were going from being green and red to all white! This is the best paint job my home has ever had! I will definitely use his services again in the future and refer him to everyone I know. Thanks again, Eric!"

"I just purchased a home, and initially requested a quote for interior painting of walls & ceiling. Eventually, I ended up using Jose's contracting services for a renovation of the interior of the house. The services included electrical, plumbing, tile flooring and shower replacement. I have used Jose's painting services a few times in the past for different properties, but this was the first time I used his contracting services. He installed recessed lights, ceiling lights, ceiling fans, dishwasher, bathroom vanity with top and faucet, toilet, porcelain tile flooring thru-out (1300sf.); replaced old shower walls & floor with ceramic tile, niche and glass inserts; painted kitchen cabinets and replaced exterior doors. His price was reasonable, and I was very satisfied with the outcome."

"We were very pleased with the jobs performed. The crew power washed, rolled and brushed our exterior brick home, as well as the trim and shutters. The job was expected to take 7-10 days, and everything was completed within 10 days. The owner was very informative and easy to work with. When a change was requested with our trim and shutter colors, he made a suggestion as to one of the changes we discussed, and we were very pleased that we went with his suggestion. The end product turned out even better than expected. Also, the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend W.W. MV & Son Painting."

Customers say: Super punctual
"Easy to talk with and very quick to return calls. Pressure washing job went very well. Deck staining also looked good. Downside was that the quote looked low based on his basic labor charge, and he added material and repair afterward. That made the price 2.5x the quoted price, which gave me some sticker shock. I would prefer seeing the bottom line price upfront. That being said, it was my error and the work was good. Just make sure you understand the true price before you sign."

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.
