"Golden Star Painting was a great hire. Shortly after putting the job (to re-paint a room with 3 colors, and install high-detail crown molding) out for contractors, the company contacted me, discussed the details and provided a very competitive quote. They were on time to the job site each day, took care to keep my entryway/work areas clean while there, and quickly addressed a couple of complications that came up to make sure the project looked how I envisioned it. If you’re looking for a reliable company with great prices who do high quality work, I’d recommend picking Golden Star Painting for your project."

"I hired Cesar because he was one of the few painters that knew how to remove an acoustic ceiling, paint cabinets and well paint anything you needed. Some painters shy away from the huge task at hand. He put in good prep time to make the job go smoothly. He also was able to schedule me quickly. Cesar is a very personable person and is always willing to help. He painted the interior of my house and cabinets and removed the acoustic ceiling and I think did a very great job!"

"The process went smoothly from start to finish. 247 Painting did an excellent job painting my house. Since I bought the house it had never been painted so I really needed a freshen up and they went above and beyond. Every line is so crisp and I’m so much more happier with my house now."

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.
