"I was the difficult one in this transaction. After I put the project off for a year, he still honored the original bid and didn't go over, which was fantastic! He was very thorough repairing the wood rot and sealing up the cracks to prevent any more wood rot. Finally, to top it all off, the paint job looks fantastic! A+++"

"Muir Painting did a fantastic job painting the exterior of my mid- century home. Dan Muir was concise and fair in his pricing and stayed in communication with me throughout the process. All of the professionals who completed the project ( in 1 day!!) were pleasant, punctual and skilled craftsmen. I especially want to give kudos to Matt and Justin for their leadership and assistance. I am thriving with the results and highly recommend Muir Painting!"

"I can highly recommend Sunshine Painting. Samantha was always very professional, prompt in her visits and always returned calls and emails. We required some siding and dry rot repair, which Ben repaired expertly. The crew painted our tall house with great care and attention. They discovered some additional dry rot while working, so we put a pause on the project to allow repairs on that, before they returned to finish up. The finished result is outstanding. Their pricing is straightforward and reasonable. Can highly recommend, so happy!"

"I am totally happy with professional house painters!! They did a perfect job painting the exterior of our house which hadn’t been painted in over 30 years. They spent a whole day scraping all the peeling paint & then applied the primer. Did the pressure washing & came back to paint the house & trim. They are hard workers & pay attention to detail. They cover everything up as to not get paint on driveways plants etc. Also cleaned up like they weren’t even there. The friendly, professional & know what there doing. If your needed some painting done inside or out give them a call."
Beautiful final product!

"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!"

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.
