"I am moving and needed a paint refresh before selling my home. Tom called me personally to speak with me about my needs and was at my house 2 days later for an estimate. He was exceptionally priced and worked with me for what I needed. He truly provided the service that he felt truly was needed for the home and not just to make extra money. Very professional and overall a nice person. Paint came out beautiful. Highly recommend."

"Jonathan and his team were hired to paint the exterior of our house. They were extremely professionals fast honest precise! they went beyond as they washed all skylights all windows power wash the old exterior that was chipping due to a sloppy previous painter. They also did a remarkable touch up on our huge deck. I hope they can return this season to do our interior painting ."

"Excellent experience. Great job - fair price. Work completed in exact time frame quoted. Tommy even changed my burned out light bulbs in my light fixture. I will absolutely call Extreme Painting and Paperhanging for my next 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.
