"Amazing! Danny and his crew are VERY detail oriented and organized! He uses first quality paint, does NOT water or thin it down, continually checks in to see if you are happy, and does a first rate job! I would give him 10 stars if I could!! great communication. I can't say enough good things! Oh! The price was awesome also!!"

"Fidel and his crew were prompt, professional, protected my stuff, took measures to keep dust down, and cleaned up behind themselves. Took 3 guys 7 hours to do some significant drywall work in master, full paint master, full paint 10x13 br with 15’ ceilings and prime and paint my guest path ceiling with water damage. Highly recommend."

"We were searching for a paint contractor with experience locally. Our home is over 110 years old, and a contributing property in a historic district. We had a specific vision on what we wanted done. After obtaining multiple interview and bids from contractors, we “connected” with Melin, as he shared our vision. They were meticulous with attention to details in the prep work, and exacting with executing our paint scheme. The team treated our house like their own. They were respectful and responsive during the work. The results far exceeded our expectations!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and would definitely will hire the team again."

"We had some electrical work done that resulted in needed drywall repair (part of which was ceiling work). Victor was out the next day and did a fabulous job. He is very professional, cleaned up everything and was fairly priced. He came when he said he would and the drywall repair is awesome. You cannot tell there was any repair at all. We have now hired him for some painting work. I highly recommend."

"Costello Painting did an amazing job! Hugh and his brother were friendly, professional and super easy to work with. Early in the project, they had painted some of the railing and we didn't like the color we had chosen from the brochure once it was on the deck; they went back to get different paint twice until we were satisfied with the color - no problem. It was almost 90 and humid (of course) today and they still seemed like they were having fun staining our deck in the hot sun! Cleaned up after and even left us with some extra stain for down the road. These guys clearly love what they do and I would hire them again in a second! A+"

"Javier & his team did an excellent job painting the exterior & interior of our home. They are meticulous with detail work, skilled, and professional. The team worked well together and their given timeline was maintained. Javier is experienced in color selection and helped me choose the right type and color for a given area or room. He also did quite a bit of wood repair on my exterior windows. This was done with great skill. Javier, is an honest & trustworthy small business owner & I will continue to use him for future jobs."
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.
