What moves the price on baseboard painting
- 1Number of roomsA single bedroom costs less than a whole house, but the per-room price drops when we do multiple.
- 2Current conditionScuffed baseboards just need sanding and paint. Peeling baseboards need scraping, priming and more prep.
- 3Height and accessStandard baseboards are at floor level. Tiled or tricky floors take more protection time.
- 4Colour changeGoing from a dark to a light baseboard needs primer, so the old colour doesn't bleed through.
- 5Trim damageCracked corners, missing pieces, or moulding that needs replacement adds time and material.
- 6Sheen choiceHigh-gloss baseboards need a perfectly smooth surface underneath, so prep takes longer.

Why Baseboard Painting in Broadview Homes Is Not Just a Quick Roll
Broadview's older homes have baseboards that have been painted over many times — sometimes oil, sometimes latex, sometimes shellac. Getting a clean, smooth finish on that layered surface takes more than a roller. Here's what fails when it's rushed.
- ✕Peeling from old oil paintPainting latex over old oil without sanding and priming means the new coat peels off in strips within months.
- ✕Brush marks left visibleBaseboards that aren't sanded smooth between coats show every brush stroke, especially in semi-gloss.
- ✕Painting over dirt and dustBaseboards collect dust at the floor line. Painting over it traps the grit in the finish.
- ✕No primer on bare spotsScraped or chipped areas need primer first. Paint straight onto bare wood dries darker and flashes.
- ✕Poor mitre jointsGaps in corners and mitres get painted over but still show as cracks when the wood moves.
- ✕Drips and runsSemi-gloss shows every drip. Rushing the application leaves paint pooling at the floor line.
What Comes With Every Baseboard Painting Job
This is what we do on every Broadview baseboard job. None of it is an extra we mention halfway through.
- ✓Floor protectionDropsheets taped along the floor line so paint doesn't get on carpet or hardwood.
- ✓Dust and dirt removalBaseboards cleaned before any sanding or painting starts.
- ✓Sanding rough spotsScuffs, chips and rough areas sanded smooth before priming.
- ✓Primer where neededBare wood and patches get primer before the finish coat.
- ✓Two finish coatsSemi-gloss or satin in Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore.
- ✓Corner and mitre sealingGaps at mitres and corners filled before painting.
- ✓Cleanup and vacuumAll dust and debris removed from the floor line.
- ✓WalkthroughWe walk every room with you and fix anything you're not happy with.
Which Baseboard Finish Belongs in Which Room
Baseboards take more abuse than walls. Here's what we recommend for each room, and why it matters for durability and cleaning.
| Finish | Where we use it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flat / matte | Rarely used on baseboards | It marks too easily and doesn't wipe clean |
| Eggshell | Low-traffic bedrooms only | Minimal sheen, but still not very washable |
| Satin | Bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms | Wipes clean, hides minor flaws, good all-rounder |
| Semi-gloss | Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, kids' rooms | Cleans easily, resists moisture, shows dirt less |
| High-gloss | Feature baseboards, design homes | Hardest finish, but needs perfect prep |
Semi-gloss is the standard we use on most Broadview baseboards. It's durable, wipes clean and looks consistent with traditional trim. See our colour consultation for more help.
What Actually Happens During a Baseboard Painting Job
Baseboard painting is about prep, not painting. A smooth, lasting finish takes time before any colour goes on. This is the order we work in, every time.
Walk the rooms
We look at every baseboard with you, note damage and price it on the spot.
Protect the floors
Dropsheets taped down along every run of baseboard in the room.
Clean and dust
Baseboards vacuumed and wiped to remove dust and dirt at the floor line.
Sand and fill
Rough spots sanded, chips and cracks filled, mitres sealed and sanded smooth.
Prime bare spots
Primer applied to any bare wood, filler or stained areas that need sealing.
First coat
First finish coat brushed on, paying attention to corners and mitres.
Second coat
Second coat applied once the first is dry, usually after a few hours.
Inspect and clean
Floors swept, dropsheets removed, and you walk each room with us.
How Long Baseboard Painting Takes in a Broadview Home
Prep decides the schedule for baseboards. If the old paint is in good condition, we move fast. If it's peeling or damaged, we spend more time on prep.
| Job size | Typical time | What adds a day |
|---|---|---|
| One room, good condition | 2–4 hours | Heavy scuffs or peeling paint |
| One room, damaged baseboards | 4–6 hours | Scraping, priming and filler drying time |
| Three-bed house, good condition | 1 day | Multiple rooms and hallway runs |
| Three-bed house, damaged | 2 days | Prep, drying time and painting |
| Whole house, all trim included | 2–3 days | Baseboards plus doors and casings |
