"I had Clear Way paint my basement living area, kitchen, and office space. The crew showed up when they said they would and did a great job. The price was affordable without being suspiciously too good to be true. Worth every penny."

"We were very pleased with the skill, hard work and professionalism of Guerra and Son?s. Our home had not been painted in several years. Thus, some major upgrading was required. The interior of our two story home (except 2 bedrooms and master bath) had drywall repaired and was repainted. Additionally, cabinets in our laundry room and in an upstairs bath and one new exterior door were repainted. The crew worked very hard and stuck to the work over a two week period. We chose SW Emerald paint. What a difference an experienced painting crew can make. Additionally, we had the crew replace mirrors, lighting fixtures in two bath and a vanity in one bath. Great people to work with!"

Feel good contracting LLC is here to make home improvements easy and affordable
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.
