"HPO did a great job painting/staining the Cedar siding of our home. The work was done ahead of schedule, they cleaned up after themselves, and was reasonable in their pricing! The owner was very knowledgeable and honest."

"Several painting companies declined to bid when contacted, saying they found the project outside their comfort level. Trinity accepted the challenge and performed to perfection. Owner Angel Torres personally supervised and participated in the effort. Skill, pride, experience, and professionalism was on display in every aspect from site prep to clean-up. They started when they said they would, they came each day when they said they would, and they finished when they said they would. Extremely customer oriented: courteous, friendly, and respectful. We could not find even a smudge of paint out of place. We were so impressed we gave Angel a bonus. Trinity really came through for us."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

"Have had two projects done with Jauch Painting, and with both projects have been beyond thrilled with the process, professionalism and results. First time was through our insurer after water had damaged our kitchen walls and cabinets. Dave, Dino and Jen, came in and took care of everything. Professional and patient with our questions and requests, made the year of dealing with insurance and contractors a distant memory, as they were beyond helpful and professional, making the room look better than had even before the damage. Enjoyed the experience so much, contacted Brian again, when we were looking to get our garage exterior as well as all of the wood trim on our two story painted and stained. Dave, Dino, Jack, David and Larry were just as incredible there as had been with the interior. Took care of everything, fixed some very rotten wood areas, and were amused by my duct tape repairs that they diligently fixed. Out of room, or I would write more, Highly recommend!"
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.
