"Alen and his crew were very prompt, courteous, and professional. They painted the ceiling and walls of both floors of a cape cod style house, comprised of 7 rooms, two hallways and a stairway. They worked full 8 hour days, including a Saturday and a Sunday, and they were in and done in 11 days. Alen's painting skills are phenomenal and I would highly recommend him for any size paint job! Very friendly and accommodating."

"Brian and his team did a great job. My house is cedar wood and have had it painted twice by two different painters in the past. Brian and his team by far did a much better job then by the other painters that I have had in the past. I would hire them again for additional painting and would definitely recommend them...."

"Excellent company ... Project was staining a log home & painting a metal sided barn/garage. A very detailed quote showed Michael had listened to me during conversations on phone and visit to our property. Angi has so far been a good source for reliable contractors. Clean Cut Painting employees are very efficient and personable. They showed up each day ready to work and work they did. Ryan kept me informed during the prep process as my log home needed a lot of TLC. Weather cooperated (most of the time) and the project was completed in less than two weeks. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of his and his crew's work. Attention to detail was excellent. I would hire this company for any painting projects I may have in the future. I've also recommended this company to friends and neighbors. Thank you Clean Cut Painting for a job well done."

"Nate and his team did a fantastic paint repair job at a reasonable price. I was amazed by the preparedness and professionalism of the team. Arrived on time, completed the work and cleaned up after the work was complete. I will definitely hire them again and I'm happy to recommend G's Transformation."

"I’m very happy with the job this small business did on my old wood deck! It was really worn out, after the painting, it looks fresh and beautiful again. They were very careful with everything—they covered all the areas that didn’t need paint and used tape to make sure the lines were neat. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. They were friendly, on time, and worked hard. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs painting done!"

FAQs for painting projects in Albany, NY

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.
