"I highly recommend John - he was professional, courteous, on time and very talented at what he does. He painted basically every square inch in my beach condo and did a phenomenal job. His attention to detail (paint/stain colors and finishes, wall repair, wall prep) was well beyond my expectations. I cannot commend him enough and will definitely engage him again with any future projects."

"I’m extremely pleased with the painting work done on my exterior deck and bathroom walls. The job was completed with fairness, honesty, and true professionalism from start to finish. The pricing was transparent, the communication was clear, and there were no surprises along the way. The exterior deck looks refreshed and beautifully finished, and the bathroom walls were painted with great attention to detail. Everything was done neatly and efficiently, and the final result exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find contractors who are both skilled and trustworthy, but this experience checked both boxes. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for quality work done right."

"JL Drywall responded after hours and gave me a quote the next morning! Very responsive and awesome follow thru. Job was completed as quoted and on time. Going to recommend them to my Bathroom installer who -by the way doesn’t do “Drywall” even when they quoted knocking down a pony wall!! Would recommend John to anyone who needs Drywall done right!"
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.
