"I hired Roundhouse Painting to paint the exterior of my home in February 2022. I asked Hector for references which he provided and my discussion with his previous clients, including contractors, helped me make my decision. His proposal was fair and he helped coordinate with other tradespeople to make some needed repairs that I paid for separately. His painting team showed up at 8am on the day Hector said they would, and worked straight through, each day showing up at 8. They were polite, hardworking and cleaned up at the end of every day. I was very please with the job and hired them to do some interior painting as well. I would highly recommend Roundhouse Painting"

"Yes, Mike was very responsive to all my needs and good attention to detail. The painter, Omar was fantastic!!!! A great personality and a prefectionist. He did the job himself and did a great job. Mike even had Omar come back to complete a request I had after the job was completed. I would recommend Vasquez & Vasquez painting due to the good work. Note: my house is a one level home. They painted my gutters, downspouts, fascia and filled all cracks and holes."

"Mark did a terrific job at a fair price. We hired him to do a complete repaint of a condo in addition to some small drywall and ceiling repairs. He was prompt in his response to our inquiry and provided some excellent insight on the type of paint to use and on his approach to the project. He did the work on schedule, on budget, and multiple people have since commented on how great the place looks. I will certainly use him again in the future and would recommend him to others looking for a painting pro."

FAQs for painting projects in Clearwater, FL

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.
