"Everything went really good. They came in and removed the wallpaper from our great room and repaired the walls where it was needed. They painted the ceilings, walls and woodwork (it was previously stained in the great room). Everyone that was working here was very nice. They made sure to clean up every day after they were done. I am extremely happy with the work they did and would definitely hire them again."

"Craig, Omar and crew did a great job prepping and painting our home. They were on time, were accommodating when we wanted to switch colors early on in the project. They worked efficiently and respectfully at our home. We will be hiring them again for staining this fall."

"We hired Gold Standard Painting to paint our interior and exterior of our new construction. Danny and his crew did an amazing job. Customer service is outstanding. Danny does a great job of communicating throughout the process. The products they use are the best quality and make for the prettiest finish. Weâ ve gotten several compliments on our exterior about the finish and how quickly they completed the job. Iâ d definitely recommend using Gold Standard for any of your painting needs but their exterior work is exceptional! I will never use another company other than Gold Standard for any of my painting needs."

"We hired rob to stain our new fence and older deck. Rob is very knowledgeable and considerate. He was quick on giving a reasonable quote, communicated thoroughly, and finished the project in a timely manner. He even dropped off a brochure of stain colors for my convenience and was honest and reduced his quoted price since he did not have to use as much stain as previously thought. I will be recommending rob to others and keeping him as a contact for future projects."

"Removed popcorn from ceilings, patched and painted. Very thorough, even painter the can lights. They did so well, we had them paint several interior rooms as well. Dwight had excellent communication and aside from an initial deposit on the first day, did not request payment until after the job was completed to our satisfaction. This included the extra painting we asked for after our initial project was done. We definitely plan to use McGarrah Painting again in the future."
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.
