They are true painting professionals, and not only did they do a quality painting job but the whole experience of clean up and the time it took them to complete the project went very smoothly and at a very reasonable price! Without question we highly recommend Paint the DMV and would definitely use them again….they are the best!"

"I had a great experience with Advanced Painting. Steven (Owner), responded promptly to my request for services and came out to assess the project the next day. He provided a timely detailed cost estimate that included painting my home interior and exterior, replacing exterior wood trim, and repairing/staining the deck to ensure it was structurally safe. He also kept me well-informed of the status of the project each day. The work crew was courteous, friendly and tidy. They did a great job protecting the furniture, doors and windows. The house looks wonderful. I really appreciate the care and attention given to my home; and the cost was reasonable. I would certainly use this company again."

"Wilber's Painting was able to rehab the townhouse in an adequate amount of time. He knew that special paint needed to be applied to block odors and stains, before new paint could be applied to the walls and ceiling. He fixed ceilings with water damage and repaired drywall. He worked diligently and the rehab was very successful. I highly recommend Wilber's Painting."

"Wolfgang’s estimate was competitive with others that I obtained but I chose him because of his professional handling of the job revenue and his estimate presentation. He and a helper completed this job in less time than he projected. They worked diligently. They were neat. And they did a high quality job. I would hire this company for my next interior painting need."

"Do yourself a favor and hire them. I hired them to do some major repainting before selling my house. They were so efficient that they ended up using less than half of the paint is estimated I would need for the project. And this was for repainting dark colors with neutral colors. They also installed new drywall in my basement, repaired some wall damage, and installed new exhaust fans. I found their service excellent and their rates reasonable. I would highly recommend them."
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.
