"After getting 3 quotes Aguirre Painting was the best. They were also very professional and organized. The paint job they did for me was beautiful. Before and after the job the owners met with me to make sure they knew what I wanted and that the job was done correctly. I highly recommend this company and I will be using them again."

"Samantha was responsive in providing a painting quote. We got several quotes and it was the most thorough and reasonably priced. Some siding needed to be replaced and her carpenter quickly gave a separate quote for repairing this. We were traveling and they were flexible in working around our schedule. Ben the carpenter did a great job replacing dry rotted siding and a fence. There was one issue and he quickly resolved it. The paint crew led by Esteban did a quality job. They were thorough in the cleaning and other preparation. I noticed a missed spot or two, but they got back to these on their own without a mention from me. My wife appreciated the very limited damage to the border plants despite the challenge of working around them. We would definitely recommend this company for similar painting projects."

"Definitely recommend Color Fast Painting! Doug is responsive, honest, and very easy to work with, even on smaller projects like mine was. When it's time to repaint my home, or any other painting project, they will be first on my list to contact."

"Professional House Painters painted my living and dining rooms as well as a short hallway and a built in furniture piece. The rooms have wood paneling and painting them turned the room from a dark cave unto beautiful room. Alex and Jose (crew chief) were very professional and got the work done as quickly as possible while doing a wonderful job. As a really wonderful bonus, they removed and washed the storm windows after they finished painting. They did a great job and I'll be calling them when I'm ready to paint the rest of our home."

"Found Sunnyside Painting on the internet, looked at their reviews and pictures of their work. Gave them a call. They came over and gave us a very reasonable quote. We had them paint our house the same colors. Which they matched and it is 3 different colors. Had them also stain and finish our front door, garage door and deck. Beautifully done. We are very happy and so pleased. Would hire them again!"

"The entire project went extremely well. When I received his bid - which was more thorough than other bids - I was surprised because the rate quoted was very similar to others. Paul is a true professional, his attention to detail is outstanding, and all of his work is exceptional. Bottom line - I would highly recommend Sunshine Painting. I plan on hiring Sunshine Painting for any future painting needs."

"Carlos and his team exceeded our expectations at every step of the process. Not only did they do an extraordinary job on the work we had contracted for (i.e., exterior repaint of our house, repaired areas of dry rot, pressure wash & seal our driveway, & and pressure wash & stain our deck), they also did other small jobs unasked, like removing old, unused cable that was still attached to our house, pressure washed and sealed our sidewalk & porch slab, edged our yard, etc.). They cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day and were unfailing patient and accommodating with our not-infrequent interruptions and questions. Our house looks beautiful! Fresh Start Painting is an excellent company! We would happily hire them again, and we recommend them unreservedly!"

"So happy we chose D&N Colors Painting, LLC when we decided to have our house painted. They pressure washed the house, our ramp, and the carport. We had them stain our ramp, too. Everything is just beautiful. And to top things off the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this company to all our friends and family."

FAQs for painting projects in Portland, OR

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.
