"These guys were incredible! Not only did they stain my deck with the proper product, but they replaced boards that were warped or rotten. They were reliable and traveled more than an hour to get here each day until they were finished. I would recommend them for any kind of paint job."

"Excellent!! Brad Matejek and Carnival Painting were superb!! Highly recommended. They were one of five contractors I contacted for bids for the work. His bid included all the elements I wanted and was among the lowest cost bids. I selected the brand of paint and his guys got to work, painting all the exterior trim, vertical siding above rock walls, door and window lentals, and front and back porches with columns and railings. They replaced an exterior door that had a water damaged frame and sill, and also painted a small storage building. After a series of weather-related delays (September and October wettest on record in San Antonio area), his crew got to work and completed the work in less than four days. It included power washing to remove mold (the crew also washed the rock exterior, the sidewalk and the outbuilding). They were very professional, cleaning up as they went and making sure there was no paint drops. I was in contact with Brad frequently but felt very confident in his on-site crew. They were courteous, addressed my questions and concerns, and got the work done in a very professional manner. I'd hire Carnival again - in fact, I've already referred a friend to them for his painting needs."

"SMG and Sal is the most professional vendor of any kind that I have ever worked with. He has the best customer skills I have encountered. His crew is always couteous . Sal has an uncanny color sense. If you are unsure about trying a color listen to him. He has painted many houses and he will be honest about what will look good in your house even if it is a red wall. I would hire him in a New York minute for any further painting projects I have. Thanks Sal."

"This is a great company to hire. They provided a fair offer and completed the job in a timely manner. They showed up when they were supposed to and work several days in a row to complete the task. I wish I would have found this company to do all the painting inside of my home prior to moving but I will be calling them again for all the painting jobs and other things I need done in my new home. Great job fellas and thank you!!"

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.
