"Had the interior of my new home painted and couldn’t be happier with the results. The crew was professional, efficient, and clearly took pride in their work. The walls and trim look fantastic — smooth finish, clean lines, and exactly the color I was hoping for. They showed up on time, worked hard, and left the place looking great. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality paint job."

"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"Al arrived on time, and was friendly . He measured the apartment, while discussing everything included in the job. His team showed up the next morning, and got started. They went above and beyond, painted more surfaces than I expected & it looked neat & clean. By day 2, everything was finished, including the ceilings & trim! I’d definitely hire them again."

Customers say: Quick response
"This is a long overdue review. All the prior great reviews were right on with this company. They delivered on every aspect of work and customer service. My home had stress cracks in a cathedral ceiling and I needed them to match paint that I no longer had. Dave and Dave went above and beyond the scope of work."

"Im not one to usually leave reviews but Carfagno painters deserve every bit of praise i can offer. These guys were absolutely amazing. I had my living room painted; all walls and trims, trim in dining room, full new paint job to the stairs going up to the second floor and two additional rooms upstairs. They re painted all the closet and hallway doors and honest the job they did was nothing short of amazing. Best prices around as i had three quotes. Not only did they have the best price, he texted me back right away if i had a question or concern. I am 100% satisfied with the job they did. Clean up was spot on. Start to finish, best painting company i have ever used in my entire life. Will always use Carfagno painters for any and all needs going forward. Will recommend highly to all friends and family. Thanks again guys ! House looks amazing now !"

"Mark and his company did a great job on my home. I would recommend Mark to friends and family, alike. He was also very neat and clean."
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.
