"I have used Manor Works multiple times for indoor and exterior painting. This time they refreshed my deck, which was in pretty bad shape, with a waterproof stain and sealant. Victor gave me a very reasonable estimate with options. Esmerelda and her crew did an outstanding job. She kept me apprised of everything they were doing and why. Her team was prompt, professional, and hard working. Esmerelda went out of her way to make sure the paint/stain matched my current color, which I had really wanted. I've always been happy with the various Manor Works teams and will continue to use them for all my painting needs."

"Elmer was absolutely fantastic on this project. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would! He's extremely responsive to queries, very courteous, friendly and truly cares about doing a good job. I hired his company to plaster multiple cracks in the ceilings and paint the entire basement (5 areas total) -- ceilings, walls, trim, doors and baseboards. He provided the paint for the ceiling and trim, while I provided the paint for the walls. We started the project on a Wednesday so we'd have Friday as a third day for the project if needed, but Elmer and his crew finished within two days -- working 12 hours each day! Even though I'm changing the carpet in the basement, they took care to cover it up and clean up after themselves. They also laid down drop cloths across my hardwood floors leading to the basement steps to protect it. The basement looks like it belongs in a brand new house. The walls and ceilings look incredible! They caulked and sealed all the gaps between the trim and the walls, and respected my wishes to remove all light fixtures and switch plates to paint behind them. I have two more floors to go and definitely plan to call Elmer when I've saved up to move forward. Highly recommend hiring EDE Painting for your project!"

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.
