"Tim Cline and his crew from All Pro Painting did a great job painting the exterior of my house and staining a screened in porch. They were always professional and did outstanding work. I would definitely hire them again for future work and would definitely recommend them to anyone else."

"Wilber's Painting was able to rehab the townhouse in an adequate amount of time. He knew that special paint needed to be applied to block odors and stains, before new paint could be applied to the walls and ceiling. He fixed ceilings with water damage and repaired drywall. He worked diligently and the rehab was very successful. I highly recommend Wilber's Painting."

"I just purchased a home, and initially requested a quote for interior painting of walls & ceiling. Eventually, I ended up using Jose's contracting services for a renovation of the interior of the house. The services included electrical, plumbing, tile flooring and shower replacement. I have used Jose's painting services a few times in the past for different properties, but this was the first time I used his contracting services. He installed recessed lights, ceiling lights, ceiling fans, dishwasher, bathroom vanity with top and faucet, toilet, porcelain tile flooring thru-out (1300sf.); replaced old shower walls & floor with ceramic tile, niche and glass inserts; painted kitchen cabinets and replaced exterior doors. His price was reasonable, and I was very satisfied with the outcome."

Customers say: Quick response
"I had Painting by Michael paint the outside of my home - vinyl siding and brick. This is an excellent company to do your project. Michael keeps his appointments and is supportive in the decision making process. He and his crew are happy, arrive on time, work diligently and do a wonderful job. Best of all Michael stands behind his work, responds to questions and concerns and resolves all completely. I would highly recommend this company for any painting project. I just love the transformation from a boring home to a show stopper. A great experience overall."

"They did an amazing job painting sentimental pieces of furniture and bringing them a new life to be passed down in our family. Took his time, brought 3 different types of sample paint and allowed me to sit with a decision as to which one I liked for as long as I needed. Very professional company. Highly recommend!"

"Carey's painting was fantastic! We had the whole interior of our new house painted as we as epoxied the garage floor. They were responsive, on-time, and efficient. Highly recommend for any painting work needed. We will use them again in the future!"
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.
