"Sidney did a wonderful job. His quote was less than others we got. He was honest and super helpful with ideas. He suggested using a dark poly shades stain rather than a solid paint and it turned out amazing. The oak steps were the last thing in our home that was dated. Once they were stained a dark color to match our front door, they look great. Can’t say enough about how terrific Sidney was to work with. We highly recommend him. Thank you Sidney!"

"Jordan was the only painter which bid our job that actually listened to us. No other painter wanted to use the higher quality paint we wanted. Jordan did not flinch and let us know on the spot that the higher quality paint would only be a couple hundred dollars more for 5 rooms and our hallways. Even with the higher quality paint. Jordan’s price was more than competitive. When he came to do the job, he was always on time, cleaned up at the end of the day and the quality of work was fantastic! The ceilings, walls and woodwork look better than new. When he finished it looked like we bought a new house. Our neighbors were so impressed they had Jordan bid and awarded him their job in 24 hours. Jordan’s painting is high quality and excellent value. I will hire him again and again."

"Andrew and his team were punctual, respectful, and worked tirelessly to ensure that the job was completed to the highest standard. They went above and beyond to ensure that all details were attended to, including minor repairs and touch-ups that were necessary prior to painting. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and I have received countless compliments from my neighbors and passersby. The team took great care in ensuring that the surrounding areas were protected during the painting process, and left my property clean and tidy upon completion. Andrew himself was a pleasure to work with. He was communicative, responsive to any questions or concerns, and provided valuable insights and recommendations to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend Andrew and Color Splash Painting for any painting needs. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thank you Andrew and your team for a job well done!"

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.
