"Mark did a wonderful job with doing a stain on our front door. He was efficient and friendly. He communicated the steps he was taking and asked for our opinion when our input was needed (color, type of stain, etc.).He responded in a timely fashion to my inquires. The paint job changed the look of the house and made it look fresher. I would definitely hire again for future projects."

"They did an excellent job, the paint looks amazing. But we were also impressed with their attention to detail with caulking and protecting our windows and brick before painting. They were fast and cleaned up afterwards. Would definitely hire them again."

"I recently had the exterior of my home painted by Somerset Painting, and I couldn’t be happier. From the initial walkthrough and quote with Rick, to the clear communication and scheduling with Row, to the outstanding work by John and Benny, the entire experience was professional from start to finish. John and Benny explained each step of the process and completed the job with care, precision, and pride in their work. I highly recommend Somerset Painting for any painting needs, and I look forward to having them paint the interior of my home this winter."

"Gezim nilaj construction. Did everything i needed out side. Major job on my shed. fixed wood around bottom of shed fixed wood on roof and reshingled, fixed doors on shed they were dragging hinges broken off. Put all new lights up around the house 5 of them, just being nice I bought lights. Stained my deck. It was really bad. Had to rebuild 5x6 area. Whole deck is about 12 x 30 feet. Painted whole house and shed. 3 different colors. Doors were one color overhang and trim one color house another. No bad spots any where. He ended up doing 3 coats of paint. House was never painted for 13 years I owned it. So must of been dry. Power washed all of it. Filled all cracks and holes. He came here to paint house and shed turned into so much more. I pay extra for some of the extra work. His work is 5 stars all the way. So happy we picked him to do job. Jims Dad is great carpenter. He helped with deck and roof fixed doors. Just amazing."

"Compared to other previous contractors Ellison Painting was by far the most professional company during our interior and exterior projects. The 3-man very friendly crew did an absolutely outstanding work, and the whole process from estimating, paint color consulting to completion has been a very positive experience and we would definitely recommend Ellison for any painting projects."

"Scheduling was easy, I did everything over email. It was a little while before the crew came out - in 2 trips, one was for power washing prep, and 1 for the actual painting, but this was due to weather. The power washing I assumed would just be of the surfaces to be painted, but it looked like he removed the mold/mildew on the back siding of my house which was a pleasant surprise. The painting crew came about a week later and worked from 9am to about 7pm, completing the job. It turned out really nice, the wood was caulked and the painting made it look new again. I have no complaints and I'm happy with the results."

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.
