"The price was fair. They worked all day for seven days many in high heat. They were polite and always helpful. They painted and stained 4 long porchs and replaced the lattice work around the base as well as paint the foundation. The house looks GREAT. Have more projects for after the holidays and will wait to hire them before another company."

"Charles did more than just paint my interior and when I say interior I mean all of it. He also painted the outside of my house too. He repaired some drywall and did many other jobs at my house. Took him and his guys an efficient amount of time and they did great. Everything looks so good and I’m slowly getting my house looking new and refreshed! I love everything he did. Highly recommend!"

"Mr. Wilson came out promptly to assess my problem and we scheduled a time for him to come back and do the repairs. He was having eye problems on the day he came and he admits he should have had someone else to do the job. He replaced the board in the shower window but he didn't measure it correctly all the way across the window so there is still a gap which he filled with caulking. In the process he cracked my the marble backdrop, dropped paint in my bathtub, and did not do a good job caulking underneath the window board where the backdrop meets. He left a mess of trash and shoeprints in my bathtub. I called him about the crack in the backdrop and he promised he would find a way to repair or replace if needed. I waited 2 weeks and I had to call him to get a status on when he would repair. He told me he would return my call and its been another week. Still hadn't seen or heard from him. I can't rate the value for money because He didn't charge me. I guess because he didn't do the job correctly, but I still have a cracked backdrop and a caulking mess and paint in my tub. Don't get me wrong Mr. Wilson was a very nice man but ones work speaks volumes. This is the second non-positive experience I've had with HomeAdvisor. I don't think I'll be using their suggestions again."

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.
