"It is very rare that I take the time out of my day to actually sit down and write a review about one of the billions of businesses I have encountered in my life. However, every once in a great while when you come across a business that not only has satisfactorily completed the job they were hired to do, but they weâ re able to exceeded your expectations in numerous ways I feel compelled to do so. Honestly , I feel it is the very least I can do to show Uniques painting just how much I truly appreciated them. In addition to thanking thank them, and letting them know how great of a job they did, I also want to be able to help others who are currently in search of a reputable painting company. If you need a painter, I can guarantee you that you donâ t have to look any further. You donâ t have to read any more reviews, Uniqueâ s Painting Company is the way to go! They were on time every day, always very courteous and professional. They paid attention to detail, and the job was well done. I mean amazing customer service at a great price, how can you go wrong? Just to truly exemplify how happy I was when the job was completed, i want others to know I hired them for an additional two more painting jobs. I also referred my parents and two friends to Uniques painting. All three of my referrals provided very similar feedback and couldnâ t thank me enough for helping them. I know itâ s not always easy to pick a painting company from a some online customer reviews, and possibly a few photos. The majority of the time many of us are left disappointed and frustrated about a painting job we just paid for. So please take my advice, and make sure you hire them! Uniques painting I just want to say thank you again, and any future jobs I need done I know exactly where to go."

"“Maltese Painting did a superb job in my house in West Hartford. Jim paid attention to detail, precision and care. He was very knowledgable of which paints to use-and even suggested a lovely accent on my fireplace mantel. I will certainly be using Maltese Painting in the future!” Margaret E."

"Brothers & Brushes did a great job. The first visit with them was an easy process going over the room we wanted to get painted. Shawn and I walked the room pointing out imperfections that needed to fixed, he took pictures of the room and the things I requested to be fixed, a quote was emailed within a few days and they’re online contract was easy to understand, read and sign. When Brothers & Brushes was here while painting the room, they were asking if he had any concerns about there work, when they put the new wall paint on the wall, they asked if we liked it before painting the whole room. Their attention to detail was great."

"Denise and his team from JSD Home Repair and Maintenance did a wonderful job sanding and staining our living room floor, installing a new hardwood floor in our kitchen complete with staining and polyurethane. They then painted our kitchen cabinets. All work was done in a professional, courteous and timely manner. Both my wife and I would certainly recommend JSD Home Repair and Maintenance to anyone. To Denise and his team. Thank you and well done. To Home Advisors, thank you for a great recommendation. Ray and Shirley, East Canaan, Ct."

"Elvin is great. He fixed my wood double front doors and applied paint that I had picked out, as well as new handles/lock. He took his time, was very polite, and made sure everything was in order before in left. My front doors look amazing. Will be hiring him again for more work around the house. Also, his pricing was very reasonable and on point for the amount of repair and painting work he did."

FAQs for painting projects in Canaan, 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.
