"Terry and his crew were very professional from the estimate to the last minute they spent in my home. They used quality paint, I know this because there was no horrible paint smell after the job was completed. Speaking of completed, they completed the job in one day. I am very impressed."

"I cannot say enough good things about A M Painting. Anthony removed the popcorn ceiling from our entire house, painted the walls in our foyer, and painted/refinished our kitchen cabinets. He wasn’t even finished with the ceilings and walls when we asked if he could do the cabinets too and he started those almost immediately after we brought it up. It was by no means a small project. By the time he was done we had a completely different looking beautiful modernized house. Anthony worked quickly and efficiently. He is very professional and personable, very responsive, and kept us updated on his progress throughout the entire project. And his work is just absolutely flawless. I can’t stop staring at how beautiful our cabinets look now. For high quality, efficient work for a very reasonable price I absolutely recommend A M Painting."

"I hired Ambrocio's to paint our barn following a roofing and repair job. They completed in job in 4 days, pressure washing the entire structure, staining the siding and painting all the trim. They did a thorough job, were fairly neat on the job site, and the barn looked brand new after the job. A couple of problem areas were also brought to my attention so I could address them as needed in the future. I would happily hire them again."

"Fernando and members of his crew and company are professionals and a pleasure to work with. I was given a fair estimate but there was a problem with the paint that I purchased and it meant that Fernando had to come a second day. Even with the extra work hours the price was very fair. I have been doing my own painting for over forty years and am fussy and I give Fernando and his crew very high marks. I would recommend them."

"I highly recommend CRS Painting. They have done so many home improvement projects for us and every one of them has been outstanding. They painted the exterior of our raised ranch, put down a new wood floor, and painted our family room. The most recent project, in November 2025, was painting our dining room, living room, halls and a bedroom and installing and staining six doors. Their is exceptional. When they paint they move all the furniture, cover it carefully and put it back neatly. They patch all the holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. They pay attention to every single detail and are friendly and responsive. I will definitely hire Celso and CRS for our next home improvement job."

"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."

FAQs for painting projects in East Haven, 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.
