"I am extremely pleased with the services of Max Painting. John Lee was courteous, knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating. The dimensions and configuration of our house made this a difficult job, which John and his crew handled very well. John was also quite helpful with suggestions for color choices. The Max Painting crew was friendly, courteous, hard working and neat. The entire process from the cleaning prep through completion was great. I would not hesitate to use Max Painting again."

"In late 2020, my husband and I thought painting the kitchen cabinets would be a good project to work on together. 4 months later, our enthusiasm had faded and with only half of the cabinet doors removed and sanded. Then there was a change in plans and we had to host a bridal shower at our home in a little over a month. We were frantic! And after a couple of weeks we realized that we needed a professional to finish the job. Doug was one of 2 painters that responded, and I chose Doug. He came over to see our cabinets and agreed to have all 27 cabinets and 9 drawers painted and installed before the bridal shower. We provided a sample color that we wanted and Doug was able to match it perfectly. The cabinets and drawers were shiny and beautifully painted, We had so many compliments on how it looked. While Doug was installing the cabinets, we had noticed that some cabinets needed a little better coverage. He told me to contact him after the shower, and he would remove the affected cabinets and do some tough up painting. We were extremely pleased with Doug's professionalism and would definitely hire Sasaki Painting in the future and recommend them to our family and friends."

Mr. Ray and his Team did an Outstanding Job painting the exterior of my house. I am very pleased with the work that they did. Very Professional!!!"
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.
