"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"Andres and his team did an amazing job painting our garage. We had paint that had been peeling off for years. His team peeled the paint, filled mortar in some of the concrete gaps and then gave the garage a fresh coat of paint. Couldn’t be happier. This is the second time I’ve used Andres and will continue to use him for all my painting needs."

"Our house was in desperate need of painting and we brought Worry Free in to provide us with an estimate. Their price was more than competitive and their customer service was far better than I could have anticipated. From start to finish, the crew was professional, curious and focused on providing a positive experience. Our neighbors actually commented on how much care they put into protecting our landscaping and how professional the crew was. It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do because our home looks great! These guys truly make it “Worry Free”"

"The best painter I have ever worked with! They painted 4 rooms in my house and did an amazing job. They were very responsive and professional and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality painter."
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.
