"Custom Painting does quality work. They patched about 15 holes in our walls after a repiping. They also cleaned and painted the ceiling in our den. We were very pleased with their work. I would recommend them to everyone."

"The owner is very professional. He did an outstanding job. I asked him to stain my front door and new patio cover and he did. Both look great! He makes sure things are done correctly. He is now painting the exterior of the home. If you need this type of service be sure to contact Ray. You won't regret it."

Customers say: Super punctual
"Mr. Turner of Turner Enterprises came out to my house to access the painting job. He gave me a good quote, and his team would be able to start the next day, so I agreed to use his company to complete my painting needs. The next morning, Rafael showed up at the agreed upon time. He was friendly, professional, and competent in his craft. His wife helped him paint. She went above and beyond the scope of her responsibilities in that she cleaned whatever was behind the refrigerator when Rafael pulled it out to paint behind it. She dusted off and cleaning the exterior of my piano. She dusted blinds. They were an awesome team. And they were able to finish very quickly. I am so glad I chose the company that used Rafael and his wife."
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.
