"Great! The owner responded immediately to my request for an estimate. The estimate was satisfactory and he promptly came and power-washed the shutters (removing a hornet's nest as well!) and returned two days later to paint them with 2 coats of Benjamin Moore paint in the perfect color. No shrubbery or gutters were damaged and he used drop cloths on the roof to protect it. His price was excellent as was the work. I was impressed with the owner and the quality of his work. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again."

"I hired Gibbs Painting to make some drywall repairs following a kitchen remodel and had them paint the ceiling in two different rooms. My interaction with them was very professional. From the estimate to the completion of the work, everything went very well. They completed the work In the amount of time they stated, left the house in excellent condition, and the on-site team was very easy to work with. I would hire them again to do work inside my house and would recommend them to others."

"Stephen and Marvin and their crew did an exceptional job from start to finish on our painting project. They are true painting professionals, and not only did they do a quality painting job but the whole experience of clean up and the time it took them to complete the project went very smoothly and at a very reasonable price! Without question we highly recommend Paint the DMV and would definitely use them again….they are the best!"

"This was the first contractor that I found on Angie's List... finding a good painter was part of the reason that I signed up on this site. Needless to say, I ran across Let's Roll Painting on here, contacted them and have been incredibly pleased with the results.
Lester came out and put together a quote for painting a few rooms in our new house. The larger room, a multi-room (kitchen, eat-in area and family room) had higher, vaulted ceilings and a lot of priming that needed to be done (prior to their work, I ripped down half-wall wood paneling, spackled and sanded).
The morning of work, his crew came in and he introduced them to me. They then proceeded to level, sand, prime and paint the multi-room, as well as paint the formal dining room. They finished up in one day (by about 5 PM) and did a fairly good job of cleanup (the bathroom was a little messy from rinsing their brushes, but nothing I couldn't follow behind with a rag).
Prices were competitive and the service was outstanding. I have them coming back next week to provide estimates for a few additional rooms. Would definitely recommend.

FAQs for painting projects in Mount Vernon, VA

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.
