"An absolute 10/10 experience. The attention to detail was immaculate and they were great at communicating with us about everything from their timeline and delivery schedules to what to expect with the process. They were also incredibly considerate around working with our schedules and making sure we felt great every step of the way. The process from start to finish was really seamless. I work from home a lot and never once felt uncomfortable being alone with the guys. We'll actually miss having them around, they are such a wonderful group of extremely kind and talented people that take pride in their work. They put in the time and effort like they were remodeling their own home and we had such a positive experience. I can't recommend Innovation Painting and Remodeling enough, we will absolutely be going to them for any future renovation projects."

"Very helpful in preparing area by working around furniture that couldn't be moved. The job was done within our timeline and the cleanup was not much on my part. Great work for the cost and very personable workers."

"Carpenters from Innovation removed on old pine porch and built a new cedar one. They designed it, and whenever "issues" popped up, they used creativity and imagination to resolve them successfully. The new porch is well-built, sturdy, and attractive. It should last for decades. A painter from Innovation stained the finished product with Australian Timber Oil, a semi-transparent stain that protects the cedar while also showcasing the wood grain. The whole project turned out great. Thanks for a job well done."

"Sean has done a project at 2 different homes that we own. He is honest, responsible and communicates throughout the project. He built a handicap ramp at one house when we needed it quickly. He replaced cedar shingles and replaced roof shingles at our coastal seasonal home. Both projects were completed timely and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him."

"Eagle Construction was great. They renovated and restored my screened in porch that quite honestly had been installed by another contractor and was a nightmare. Now we have a screened imports that we are happy to share with friends and family. Thanks to Rick’s work. Customer service was very good!"

FAQs for painting projects in Bangor, ME

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.
