"We hired TG Painters to paint/stain the entire exterior of our house and do a small drywall repair followed by paint on a ceiling. Drywall came out great. They did a fantastic job staining wood siding and painting trim and doors. We asked them to add window frames while the job was in progress and Tyler agreed without issue. The crew was friendly, did a great job keeping us informed and double-checking their work at the end, and took pride in quality work. I definitely recommend these folks."

"I hired Lenzen Pro Painting to paint the exterior of my home along with some stucco repair. They did a fantastic job. I am very happy with the results. Everyone at Lenzen is a pro at their jobs. I received a detailed itemized estimate which none of the other companies I got estimates from did. The person who prepped my house was thorough to prevent over-spray and catch any drips. The stucco repairs came out much better than I thought they could and after painting it's very hard to tell where any repairs had been done. Oscar, the person who prepped my house and did the repairs, also painted my house. It was done very professionally. Small imperfections and problems areas around the exterior have completely vanished. My home looks great. I will use this company again for my future painting projects. I recommend this company for its professionalism, great communication throughout the project and, quality results."

"Nate and his team were fantastic to work with. They took the time to understand our needs and provided fair pricing for both interior and exterior painting projects. Most importantly, the team was reliable—they showed up every day and worked consistently until the job was finished. Unlike many others, they didn’t disappear mid-project to work on something else, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Nate and his team for your next painting project!"

"Jordan and Putnam Coastal Painting are the upmost professionals. They painted my living room, kitchen, hallways, and 1.5 bathrooms and did an outstanding job. It looks like a brand new house. Jordan is timely, kind, reasonably priced, and has excellent communication. I would recommend his work to anyone, and I will definitely reach back out to him if I need additional rooms painted in the future."

FAQs for painting projects in Cape Elizabeth, 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.
