"It looks amazing. We wanted it to look like it had been painted white for years which we originally thought would require a glaze. It turned out that we didn't need the glaze so Mike reduced the cost of the job which was greatly appreciated. Mike was very easy to work with and very meticulous and professional. We would highly recommend him for unique painting projects."

"We had a fabulous experience with Spiro's. Spiro and his son, Dionysios, came out to my at the scheduled time for a free estimate, went over my expectations and their suggestions in detail, and provided a quote. The price was little more than I originally hoped to pay for painting, but after going over all the work that would have to be done because of the space and different materials in the room (for example, prepping/sanding of shelves), it seemed fair. In fact, I don't think I would have gotten a much better price from anyone else who would have done the job right. They were able to come to my house less than a week after providing the quote, and showed up on time with a team of three (Spiro, Jose, and Leo). They got the whole job done in one day and it looks AMAZING. My basement, which previously looked like a half-finished dungeon, now looks light and airy, and like a cozy, finished space that we can use as a den/playroom. It's amazing what a really good paint job can do! They even got my bookshelves (which had been partially destroyed by the waterproofers who had to jackhammer through the floor underneath them) looking great again. They were such a nice team of guys and on top of that, Spiro insisted that we try some of his delicious homemade Greek lunch with us, which was delicious. My 1 year old twins gobbled up that phyllo dish so fast, they barely came up for air! I would absolutely hire this company again for painting. They were professional, warm and friendly, and extremely skilled. Thanks, guys!"

"J.H. Painting Services did great exterior work on my home this weekend. I had exterior siding and deck power washed, front door painted, and brick foundation painted. All work was done at a high level of quality and in a timely manner. Communication for planning each of the tasks easy and reliable. Contractor arrived on time. I highly recommend for power washing and paint jobs."

"Working with AdvancePro was great! They quickly came to our house to give us an estimate and were able to work us into their schedule to meet our project timeline. We really appreciated how they repaired the walls before painting (we had some settling cracks) and are very pleased with the job overall."

"We had the entire inside of the house painted. Lee appraised the job and was very helpful. Spiro managed the job and we couldnâ t have asked for a more accommodating guy. Great paint job by Elmer, Jose and Hernan. Very professional and responsive. We picked the wrong black paint for the banister (not black enough) but Five Star quickly got the appropriate black paint and our staircase looks great. Would definitely recommend this team."

"Sheldon and Sons did an amazing job on my kitchen. I chose to not only paint the kitchen walls but paint the original kitchen cabinets instead of getting brand new cabinets. I’m glad I did because the way the cabinets were painted made my kitchen look brand new with only half the cost. The crew was incredibly friendly and professional. I felt very comfortable with them working in my home. Everything was done in a timely manner with both quality and efficiency. I am very happy with the work and will definitely be using them again."

FAQs for painting projects in Fulton, MD

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.
