"Went very smoothly- workers were very diligent in performing the work necessary for preparing and painting. Torey and Evan were on time every day and I can’t say enough about how satisfied I am with their work. Will hire them again in a minute. They went beyond what I expected. So thankful for painters like them!"

"I contacted Mr Costello he came out on schedule, gave me a fair price, I agreed to have the work done. Mr Costello and his crew pressure cleaned, repaired, and stained my front and back decks. They look like brand new. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Mr Costello for all the excellent work."

"Ben was very polite and came when scheduled and texted to confirm times. He did a fantastic job power washing my home, working nonstop til the job was finished. I would highly recommend him! Although I didn’t have him do painting, I’ll bet he is as proficient at that job as well!"

"Ben did a nice job refinishing a small antique chest. He called meat each every step of the way to keep me involved in the process. I am happy with the results and would recommend him. Start with a small piece to be sure you like his process."

FAQs for painting projects in Cliff Island, 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.
