"We needed a couple small jobs for painting and Tony was able to help us. He painted a hallway that had some serious chipping paint and painted our kitchen ceiling and walls. His quality of work was outstanding and price was just right. I would highly recommend Tony."

"They did an excellent job sealing our beetle kill ceiling! Thorough and efficient. Dan is so talented at more than painting and staining. This survey would only let me select one thing! I would trust Dan With DC custom color to do just about any project!"

"Troy and his crew did exceptional work!!! They were on time, moved the majority of the furniture and pictures in the areas, and removed the light and furnace covers. Due to our mistake in choosing a wrong color for the accent wall, Troy and other crew members were understanding and patience while we looked at different colors. Once we choose a new color, they repainted the wall with no problems, and the wall looks fabulous!! After the painting was finished, they moved the furniture back, replaced the light and furnace brackets, rehung pictures, and cleaned up their painting supplies. The paint job was perfect!!! Will certainly use them again."

"A&G did a fantastic job doing the trim seal, and paint for our remodel. From the first meeting to get a quote, all the way through to the finish product, Alberto did a fantastic job. You can tell that he has a lot of experience and is very thoughtful and insightful when pricing the work. I feel that we got a very fair price. Oscar, and rest of the paint crew were fantastic as well. Very polite and professional. Seeing them work, you could tell that they were not rushing through the job and cared about their quality. I will definitely be using A&G for my future projects and I highly recommend to anyone else."

FAQs for painting projects in Drake, 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.
