"Luis did a fantastic job. I needed a custom built in bookcase painted. When he came for the initial consultation he walked me through his process, showed me exactly what he was going to do and actually cleaned up and improved some of the details that the carpenters were not attentive to. He also painted 4 cabinet doors for other parts of my home as well. Great to work with!"

"Andres and his very able team of painters did an outstanding job painting the entire interior of our house, living room, dining room, family room, kitchen cabinets and walls, long hallway with 7 doors and bedroom. The estimate was 6 days and he completed the job in 5 days. All cleanup and returned for small redos. Fair pricing too!!! He also did the exterior last summer. Again outstanding job!!!"

"He painted the inside of one room. He was punctual, careful and did an excellent job. The room looked amazing after the paint job. I would highly recommend this company and will use him 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.
