"Timely quote given. Project scheduled a few weeks later. Unfortunately will require some touch up painting but they left matching paint thankfully, otherwise would have been higher rating."

"I needed to paint the foyer and Great Room in my home and needed a pro due to the high ceilings. Alex and his crew did a great job! I didn't expect perfection, but wanted something that I would do myself, because I am VERY picky and have painted many other rooms in my home, without high ceilings. They exceeded my expectations! Prompt, hard working, pride in the quality of their work and eager to please me, the customer. I think my painting days are now over. I will hire them for ALL of my painting needs in the future!"

"Zuck painting provided exterior painting on the trim of a duplex we own in Billerica, MA. Their management team was great with communication. Their field team showed up when they were expected, were courteous to our tenants, and provided quality work. The exterior trim looks great now and we plan on keeping Zuck painting at the top of our bidders list for future painting work."

"Wander did an interior plastering and painting ting job where he also took care of replacing sole sheet rock. He did a great job and a very friendly person. It was also reasonably priced. There were a few things I noticed after the job that could've been done better, but after reaching out to Wander (payment was already made) , he made sure to come back a couple of times to fix those issues. Would recommend Wander 100%"

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.
