"Demir and his company Star Painters have earned 5 stars from me. I have a 100+ year old duplex and I hired Star Painters to freshen up the walls in a few rooms of my rental between tenants. By their second day on the job I knew I had hired the right pros. The walls in my home are mostly the original lath and plaster. Demir and his team took the time before painting to prep and patch every noticeable hole and imperfection. The walls were spotted with joint compound. If I was painting the walls myself I wouldn’t have gone through all that effort. Once the walls were prepped and painted I was so impressed with the results I knew I couldn’t ignore the trim and ceilings. Demir was able to adjust his schedule and expand my original project plan. In total Star Painters ended up painting every surface in the rental unit and also came over and painted some of the walls and ceilings in my unit. Demir worked with me to make sure I was satisfied with every aspect of the project. Providing expert suggestions on how to prep and repair some of the wall surfaces throughout the home that were showing their age while also staying within my budget. Star Painters have an eye for detail, are reasonably priced, professional, and courteous. I would definitely hire them again. In fact I have already discussed having them back later this year to paint the exterior of my home. Thank you for the A+ job."

"Floyd and his team were absolutely great. We hired him for an interior paint job. He was timely, professional, and did an amazing job. We will be using Supreme Painting and Maintenance again in the Spring to perform power-washing services on my house. With this experience, Supreme Painting and Maintenance will be my go-to company for my home needs moving forward!"

"I called for a quote when shopping around for my exterior paint/stain project. Leoâ s price was competitive but I ultimately went with another company since I had received their quote first. That was a mistake. I called Leo to see if he had availability to come look at fixing the job that the first company started. The first company had failed to sand any of the trim and the paint was immediately peeling after day 1. Leo came right out, looked at the job once more and his team started the next day. They took their time and did a great job with the prep work and fixing what the first company had done. This was not a three day project like the first company was aiming for. They really took their time and did it correctly. He also guided me in selecting which colors should be used in certain areas. My home looks brand new. I would recommend Challenger Construction for any and all painting needs."

"I highly recommend CRS Painting. They have done so many home improvement projects for us and every one of them has been outstanding. They painted the exterior of our raised ranch, put down a new wood floor, and painted our family room. The most recent project, in November 2025, was painting our dining room, living room, halls and a bedroom and installing and staining six doors. Their is exceptional. When they paint they move all the furniture, cover it carefully and put it back neatly. They patch all the holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. They pay attention to every single detail and are friendly and responsive. I will definitely hire Celso and CRS for our next home improvement job."

"I have used Taurus Painting Services multiple times throughout my home’s many remodeling projects. This was a small project to paint walls and accent paint my foyer and stair risers leading to the second story. Steve communicates well and confirmed color choices and paint finishes before starting the project. He set eta’s and he and his small crew worked quietly and efficiently to complete the project as expected. All surfaces were prepped and furniture and flooring was either moved or protected. I highly recommend Taurus Painting Services for all your painting needs."

"Jim, of Maltese Painting LLC, did a great job from start to finish. He gave me a reasonable quote, explained thoroughly his scope of work, and completed the job on time and met my expectations. As a former construction manager, I know what and how projects need to be completed. I will use Maltese Painting again."

"The first time I used Kyle was to paint the entire interior of my house. I was very impressed with the process. He was always on time, he went the extra mile to fix any problems that may have arrived. The job was completed within the estimated time line. I was so pleased with his service I called for him to paint my new home including the kitchen cabinets and I am very satisfied I would highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed."

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.
