"Jerry was a pleasure to work with. He went over the work that would be done, helped me pick a good door color, was on time, the communication between us was good, and the workers left things clean. There were no spots that were missed, but I could tell Jerry wanted to make sure I was satisfied as takes pride in his work. He was almost $1000 less than the other bid. I would recommend Jerry at O' Shea Painting."

Customers say: Quality work

"Rombyk painting did an excellent job. They are hard workers and pay attention to details. My house was overdue for painting, it required a lot of scraping and sanding., they worked long days getting it prepped for the paint. The price was good and stayed true to the original quote even with extra work. I will hire them again for any professional painting and recommend them to others."

"I am so pleased with my experience with Hedlund Painting. I contacted Zakary to repair trim / banister damage from an anxious puppy, as well as paint my kitchen cabinets and walls. I could not be happier with the result. Micah, the project manager, was on-time, detail-oriented, and caring in my home. I really appreciated how he stayed on top of the project, and that the project completed on time. I also want to credit the MASTERFUL painter/carpenter, Jesus, who painted our kitchen to PERFECTION and MASTERFULLY repaired our trim / banisters. I could not be happier with the outcome. Jesus was meticulous, skilled, polite, on-time, and a general delight to have in our home. I could not recommend Zakary, Micah, and Jesus enough - I will definitely be reaching out to Hedlund again for future home projects."

"Vadim, the owner of Pacific Pro Painting was very professional from the moment we met him while giving us an estimate throughout the course of our project. They were prompt and courteous. Vadim and David did an amazing job painting our two story house and staining the deck! They asked us to do walk arounds a few times to make sure everything looked ok. They didn t hesitate to make a change on my deck even though it meant the project would take longer. They worked 12 hours days until the project was completed. The final result exceeded our expectations! We couldn t be happier! I plan to hire Pacific Pro Painting for some interior painting next! For amazing results, don t hesitate to hire the professional, prompt crew at Pacific Pro Painting!!!"

"I’m a construction superintendent and use Quality First Painting on both commercial and residential jobs. Some of the best painters in the business and they pay attention to detail and do great prep. Prep is where corners are usually cut and end up with paint in places you don’t want. Higher recommend"

"Christian and Nicolas did a very lovely, precise painting of my precarious interior stairwell area. They chose high quality paint that covered well, there were no drips left over, and they did a great job cleaning up afterward. Their mood was happy and they were courteous and professional to work with."

"These guys are great! I have a few cabinet doors that needed to be painted to finish up a kitchen cabinet refacing project we started before we moved into our condo. We reached out to multiple people to get a quote for painting just a few cabinet doors. We were on a budget, and I didn't think we'd be able to get the work done until we could save up more, but these guys are so nice that they offered to work with us on our budget - it truly felt like a Christmas miracle (I may have teared up, it was so kind)! They did a great job painting the cabinets and turned them around in just a couple of days, even though I told them they could take their time. In the future, we hope to repaint all the walls in our home, and I will reach out to Color Cat Painting when the time comes!"

"Super happy with Alex. He not only did great, detailed work on exterior house painting, but he also identified minor repairs needed and did them. He provided good guidance on paint quality differences, gave opinions on what to paint differently (style). He finished right on schedule and according to estimate, offered to come do any touch-ups if I find something wrong later, and was very conscientious about protecting property and clean-up, as if it were his own house. Plan to use him for my next project for sure."

FAQs for painting projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
