"Cliff Stuart is the most professional painter I have ever known. He did it right by using primer (where needed) and paint and allowing time to dry between coats. He not only knew what he was doing but a true finisher. Besides being professional in his work, he was a very pleasant and friendly man. His prices were fair. I will definitely call him for future painting in my home. I cannot express enough how much Cliff knows his craft."

"Kind Home Painting is the best! They have Customer Service down to an art form. The quality of their workmanship is beyond reproach and their staff is professional with exemplary expertise. They provided wonderful front-line support on initial contact, to color specialists, project managers, and finally the workers who did the painting - every step of the process was streamlined with an emphasis on providing the best customer service. I first used Kind Home Painting for staining my fence and was so impressed I followed up and had them paint my house. I highly recommend Kind Home Painting."

"I was preparing my home for sale on a very short deadline. I hired another contractor to perform some renovations and they were not able to meet our deadlines to get the home ready prior to the listing date. I called Painting Plus of Boulder and they were able to send a full crew over to my home and take care of minor drywall repairs, interior wall painting and complete painting of unfinished solid wood doors throughout the home. I stopped by the home to check on progress and the full crew was still working after normal hours to assist us in meeting our listing deadline. The quality of the painting was exceptional and all deadlines were met. After I sold the home I received a call that there was a small problem with the paint on one door and with one call they were able to assist the new owner of the home and resolve the issue. They stand behind their work and do a great job, I recommend Painting Plus of Boulder to anyone needing a great trustworthy painting company."

"Kylan was contracted to stain an old fence. The previous stain was discontinued, so he had to find something else that would match. And it matched perfectly! He was always on time. He left the worksite spotless. And he really does impeccable work. Plus his pricing is very competitive and certainly worth every penny. Now Iâ m tempted to find other projects that require painting!"

FAQs for painting projects in Boulder, CO

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.
