"From start to finish it was a great experience to work with Star Painters. Demir did a walk through on Sunday and by Tuesday we had signed the quote and agreed on a starting date the Monday after. First day was prep day and the following 3 days they painted 5 rooms (all different colors) and trim. They put down plastic throughout to prevent paint spatter. Like I mentioned a great experience. I will hire them again."

"Guy Ouellette Painting and his crew did phenomenal work for us! He went above and beyond helping paint my first home and provided professional consultation when we had water damage to our second brand new construction home. My first home I was anxious to move in with fresh paint and new color scheme. Guy new which colors were trending and provided a color scheme that exceeded my expectations. He and his crew worked diligently and with such great attention to detail. His communication with me on the status of the work was greatly appreciated and he got my first home ready for move in a timely manner. We will definitely be using his services again! Guy Ouellette is a man you can trust and know he will get the job done right. Thank you Guy!"

"I called for a quote when shopping around for my exterior paint/stain project. Leoâ s price was competitive but I ultimately went with another company since I had received their quote first. That was a mistake. I called Leo to see if he had availability to come look at fixing the job that the first company started. The first company had failed to sand any of the trim and the paint was immediately peeling after day 1. Leo came right out, looked at the job once more and his team started the next day. They took their time and did a great job with the prep work and fixing what the first company had done. This was not a three day project like the first company was aiming for. They really took their time and did it correctly. He also guided me in selecting which colors should be used in certain areas. My home looks brand new. I would recommend Challenger Construction for any and all painting needs."

"My kitchen has very little floor-to-ceiling wall space. Every side has cabinets, doors, windows and the majority of the painting work requires cutting in with a brush, so I didn't want to do it myself and risk getting paint on new cabinets. They did the work efficiently and without any problems.

"SID Painting just completed painting our exterior siding and trim. The house looks great and we are really happy with the service that this company and the crew provided. I would fully recommend SID painting for your painting needs. We actually were leaving on vacation the second day of their work, so they hurried to complete the items that needed to be done while we were still home and when we returned it was a brand new house! Thank you! Kasie in Bristol, CT"

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.
