"We contracted with Chavez Painting to paint 3 large bedrooms, an upstairs hallway, and a stairwell with a high ceiling. They painted the walls, trim, doors and ceilings. When Mr. Chavez visited to provide a quote, he left us with a Sherwin Williams sample book of all their colors so we had plenty of time to select colors. He purchased the paint for us saving a trip to the paint store. Mr. Chavez and his team arrived on time, were very courteous and worked diligently. Before painting, they did a careful job fixing issues with the walls (nail pops, dings, gouges, and separating drywall seams). They covered our carpeting and all the furniture and sanded the walls before applying paint. They finished in two days and their work was beautifully done. We are very pleased with the result. A long problem seam we used to stare at every day going downstairs is gone! They repaired this difficult spot. We will use them again when we are ready to have the downstairs painted."

"I had the pleasure of working with Paint The DMV recently, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team did an absolutely fantastic job painting my house. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Stephen Lehto’s professionalism truly stood out. He took the time to thoroughly assess my needs, provided valuable suggestions, and ensured that the project was executed flawlessly. His attention to detail and commitment to delivering top-notch service were evident. Not only was the quality of their work exceptional, but the entire team at Paint The DMV was courteous and respectful throughout the process. They maintained a clean and organized workspace, which I greatly appreciated. Stephen’s expertise and guidance were invaluable, making the entire painting process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and helpful team. My house now looks stunning, thanks to Paint The DMV! If you’re in need of painting services and want an outstanding experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Paint The DMV. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly remarkable. I’m thrilled with the transformation of my home, and it’s all thanks to their expertise and hard work. Thank you, Paint The DMV!"

"My fiancée and I just bought a new house that desperately needed new paint in almost the whole interior of the house. A good friend of ours recommended Advanced Painting so we decided to give Steven, the owner, a call. He was extremely friendly and came to look at our house the next day to give us a free estimate , which was very reasonable and affordable! We were so pleased with how the house came out once it was fully painted. The painting crew did an exceptional job!! They got the job done quickly without it looking the least bit rushed. Every single room, from the kitchen to the bedrooms, came out absolutely beautiful and you can tell its professionally done. When he gave us a quote he suggested painting our front door as well to add some curb appeal to our new home. It was inexpensive and made a world of difference! We will most definitely be using Advanced Painting again in the future to paint our finished basement and will recommend him to all our family and friends!!"

"Mr Mendez came early and gave estimate. Price was reasonable. His worker very reliable and polite. Primed and painted. Looks good. Wish he's left extra paint for touch ups."

"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."

"I was extremely pleased with Alberto and his crew. He was very professional when he came to give me an estimate and that made a good first impression. Day one, the house, all trim, gutters and soffits were power washed. My house is cedar and was previously stained. Alberto and his worker "painted" (solid stain) the entire house using brushes.!! They also made minor repairs. The communication with the office was very good, I was updated if there was a schedule change. They worked from 8 until 4 every day. They were very detailed. I was texted an itemized contract. All in all the whole process went beautifully. I would definitely recommend Worgren Painting LLC!"

FAQs for painting projects in Stafford, VA

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.
