"After doing some research we found Jay’s Painting Service. We could not be happier with the exterior paint job the did. They transformed our house, which was looking a little rough, into some we are proud of. The crew was polite, professional and their attention to detail was top notch. They completed the job right in schedule. I highly recommend them for all your painting needs! Thank you guys so much!!"

"Dan and his team always deliver. D.K Painting has worked on two of my houses, and exceeded expectations with timing and quality of work each time. Each job consisted of painting over dark colors to white, and we were very satisfied the with the results. D.K Painting was a great referral from my realtor many years ago, and I’m glad we hired them!"

"You can't find a better painting team than the Do It Right team. Why? Because they do it right! Pressure wash house, 2 coats top quality paint, backrolled, care for plants, masking and tarping of surfaces for painting or not painting, all done by them professionally for many years. I have recommended their service to many in my Sun City Roseville neighborhood. If you don't have it done right, you're doing it wrong. Awesome! Couldn't give a more positive report."

"I needed some help painting my son’s new room. The walls were pretty bad, so I tried my best to fix them myself. Henry offered to come by and take a look at what I had already done and see if there was anything he could touch up. He fixed my lines, and painted the closet and door jamb. He was the kindest person I could have trusted in my home. He was sweet and did such an amazing job. Any time I need painting done I know who to call! ♥️"

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.
