"Danny contacted us almost immediately after we requested a quote on Danny. He visited us within 24 hours. He was friendly. He made a careful survey of the house and garage and emailed us a detailed bid. His bid was actually the highest that we received, but was within budget, and we accepted it because he seemed like the kind of person in whom we could have confidence. He explained thoroughly what they would do: comprehensive service from power washing through sanding, replacing wood, caulking, priming, painting, and other things I do not remember. The painters came within three weeks. Every day for five days, from three to six painters arrived by 8:00 am and worked as late as 7:30 pm, including working on Sunday. We watched them. They were patient, attentive, thorough, and unrelenting in their work. They were easy to have around. They asked appropriate questions about the job. When they finished, they cleaned up thoroughly. Our house now looks altogether fresh. We highly recommend Danny and his crew."

"Due to favorable weather Liedel’s got started on our job earlier than expected and it progressed quickly. It took about three and a half days, in all. They were very professional and made our house look like a brand new house. Even the neighbors were impressed! I should mention that we had them paint white all the trim that was previously brown, so the price we paid included two coats of paint for he trim. I’ll try to upload a “before” photo as well as After.” At the end of the painting, Benjamin And Joey asked us to inspect the house with them. I couldn’t find a fault anywhere, but they found several places they weren’t happy with, so they fixed them. It’s nice to know your painter pays attention to detail! We have some interior work that needs to be done, and we will be calling Liedel’s for that."

"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+"

"Jimmy and his crew did a fantastic job painting the interior of a rental property I own. The quality was top notch and the price was very competitive. The entire crew paid good attention to trouble spots and they cleaned up everything with no mess left behind. I would definitely use JRM Painting again for both interior and exterior painting and related services (like exterior trim repairs and power washing pre-paint). Highly recommend JRM Painting. The house had water damage and hadn't been painted in a decade. We had the ceilings, walls and all trim painted, including window trim. JRM Painting was fast but thorough and very neat."

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.
