"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."

"David figured out a challenging project on a cabinet so old that its hinges are no longer available. He was courteous, professional and punctual. I am grateful that his creative thinking and stick-to-itiveness resulted in a cabinet door that is working again! Thank you, David!!!"

"A rare find for a home project. Mr. Heath highly skilled and experienced at all types of projects. He has great integrity, is fair and honest. He did drywall work at my home and also some exterior work. All excellent work. We hired him after a sales pitch from a less skilled company resulted in a whole wall having to be replaced. Mr. Health can be trusted to assess what work needs to be done, and offer easier solutions when available. We could not recommend him more highlly."

"We were looking around to have our unfinishment basement finished into an in-law suite. we asked around for about a month. there were a few people that had mentioned K&C Home Improvement to us. so we gave them a call, we told them what we wanted, and all the obstacles that they would need to work around, like the columns a staircase and obviously sewer pipes. I honestly thought that they would say it couldn't be done or didn't want the job. but nope they said they could do it. I was thinking where there was so much to work around that it would be a weird setup but nope it came out beyond what we envisioned . It's absolutely beautiful !! we want to thank you, and beyond , for our new lovely place we couldn't be happier."

FAQs for painting projects in Dexter, 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.
