"Brindley was incredible! I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone as industrious and thorough. He stayed true to his estimate. He prepped the deck, replaced the weather damaged planks and spindles. Everything was done in a timely manner. I could not be more pleased. Photos available."

He worked efficiently while still paying close attention to the details, and the whole place looks completely refreshed. He was professional, dependable, and made the process really easy from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and gets the job done right, I would definitely recommend him."

"Higher Standard Paint Co has done numerous jobs at my house. I have had the company paint both inside and outside on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. They have also applied coatings to my patio, fireplaces and masonry, and quoted my garage floors. They have literally touched every surface in my house. I cannot speak highly enough on the quality of work and professionalism. 10/10 would absolutely recommend"

"Timely, nice, efficient...fantastic job! Gonna use him when we need painting done."
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.
