"The interior of our house looks like it is brand new house after Juan and his crew finished. We had the whole interior of our house painted from ceiling to floor plus an exterior staining of our patio. From the first meeting Juan we knew he was going to be the company to do our paint job. He was very helpful with picking out colors and going over the job explaining what he was going to do being our house . His crew was very professional polite and helpful and every day cleaned up so we could still use our house. I would highly recommend this company."

"I had a leak in the plumbing to my heating system. What a mess wholes in the ceilings and walls in all the rooms. JT was a life saver fixing all the wholes and walls painted 5 rooms. His work was impeccable! He tried his best each day cleaning up the dust and debris. As Sheetrock dust can be a nightmare! I am very pleased with his work! Would recommend him to family and friends! I found him to be very compassionate and professional! Ty JT!!!"

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.
