"I needed to paint my deck as well as the exterior of my house. Denis and Klajdi did a great job in a timely matter. They were very professional and made sure the job came out as I was expecting. Highly recommended and I’d definitely hire Albany Supreme painting when I’m ready to paint the interior of my house this summer"

"Palla Painting is far above any other contractor I have ever used. The response time to my inquiry was immediate, the owner scheduled me for the next day to look at the job and the job was completed a few days later. In this day and age it's hard to get a contractor to return a call, never mind actually follow through. Blerim from Palla Painting arrived today and he and his partner fixed cracks in the ceilings (one was ready to fall) in several rooms. They fixed peeling drywall tape and then then painted the kitchen, living room, foyer, hallway and 2 bedrooms. What an amazing job they did! Blerim and his partner were professional, efficient and friendly. The price was fair and the work done was outstanding. I highly recommend Palla Painting! Thank you Blerim!"

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.
