"He's a perfectionist. He uses high-quality paints and brushes. There weren't any drips, and everything was thoroughly covered. We applied two coats, which we were very happy with. I received referrals from two other people at our church. He had painted the inside of our church, and another person I knew had him paint the outside of their home; both were very pleased with his work. He always says, and he said the same thing when he finished the inside of my house, 'If you have any problems, call me and I'll come and make it right.' He offers a really good guarantee on his high-quality work."

"Juan at Quality Choice Painting did a fantastic job. Juan and his crew were quick, professional and just did outstanding work. While pressure washing my deck he pointed out some weak wood boards. After discussing options with him he replaced the old wood with Trex. My new deck looks beautiful! If you want quality work done at a very reasonable prices than look no further than Quality Choice Painting."

"Very professional. Great communication. When we found some imperfections they came back to fix all of our issues until we were satisfied. The owner and the project manager were great. Pricier than other quotes we got but we felt it was worth it to have it done to our standards. We will definitely use them again for any other painting projects we have."

FAQs for painting projects in Yelm, 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.
