"We were nervous about having our cabinets painted white, but I saw work Distinctive Enterprises did at my friend's home and was so impressed. We hired them to paint our kitchen cabinets white and my husband and I could not be happier with the outcome. I had tears in my eyes when I walked in and saw it finished. Carlos and his team were kind and punctual. There was a lot of plastic put up to cover our walls, floor and even the ceiling. After they finished the job, you would never have known it looked like a painting factory earlier that day. I highly recommend Distinctive Enterprises for any paint job, and I am sure we will be hiring them again for a future paint project."

"Samantha was responsive in providing a painting quote. We got several quotes and it was the most thorough and reasonably priced. Some siding needed to be replaced and her carpenter quickly gave a separate quote for repairing this. We were traveling and they were flexible in working around our schedule. Ben the carpenter did a great job replacing dry rotted siding and a fence. There was one issue and he quickly resolved it. The paint crew led by Esteban did a quality job. They were thorough in the cleaning and other preparation. I noticed a missed spot or two, but they got back to these on their own without a mention from me. My wife appreciated the very limited damage to the border plants despite the challenge of working around them. We would definitely recommend this company for similar painting projects."

"I hired Bruce for my new construction, interior and exterior. He exceeded our expectations. He kept in touch to ensure it was done in a timely manner and in the window we were wanting it. If fact we were so happy with the end result we hired him again for our rental unit. We even had new carpets installed the day before he arrived to paint (Due to a tight timeline) and after inspecting the house when he was finish you would have thought he painted before they were installed. I didn’t see a drop of paint on it. The rental looked just as good as our new build. We will continue to hire him for all our painting needs."

"Sunnyside Painting just completed staining my cedar fence, which hadn't been stained in about 8 years. The fence looks fantastic!! The team was very professional and polite. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs painting done."

"Paul did a great job painting our house. I was so happy with the results! His pricing was fair. He was prompt in providing quote, started the job within a week of that and completed the whole thing in 2-3 days. Gave his ideas when we were undecided between colors. The washing caulking and painting was top notch. We hope to get him back in a couple of months to work on some interior painting."

"Trevor came out and did a great job. He was easy to work with and communicated what needed to be done clearly. There was no mess left when he was done. All my interactions with Shades of Rose, from their office staff to their painters, have been excellent. I also really appreciate that they are willing to come out and do these little jobs in between full repaints as many big painting companies won't do that. It is really good customer care and something to consider when picking someone to do the full repaint.

FAQs for painting projects in Vancouver, 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.
