"I had the pleasure of hiring this Bobby on two separate occasions to paint trim, doors, and ceilings in my home. The quantity of his work was excellent. He used top tear paint that left the surfaces looking fresh and vibrant. Not only he was meticulous in his craftsmanship, but he was also punctual and completed both jobs efficiently. What truly stood out was his attention to detail and ensuring everything was cleaned up once the job was finished. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking reliable, high quality paint services."

"I contacted Red White and Blue Painting to paint my kitchen cabinets. Beginning with our initial meeting, I was impressed with Eric, the owner. He explained the entire process. Eric and his assistant, Rich, were amazing. They were punctual, friendly, and worked diligently. They left my kitchen clean, no paint drippings nor dust. Given their attention to detail, the labor intensity of the job, and quality of the work product, the price was definitely fair. OMG, my cabinets look fabulous! The paint job was flawless. Now my kitchen looks elegant and magazine worthy. Eric and Rich did an amazing job and exceeded my expectations. Without hesitation, I will hire Red White and Blue Painting again and refer them to everyone. Best contractor ever!"

"Chameleon Painting & Molding are very professional and proficient. Our school district has been using their services for over 5 years. Curtis Hickson Asst. Facilities Manager Willingboro School District"
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.
