"Kirill completely transformed the inside of our house. We had a lot of space to paint ? multiple bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and ceilings ? and the difference is amazing. He paid attention to the small details, covered and protected everything properly, and the final paint job looks very clean and consistent from room to room. This was not a small job, and he worked hard until everything was finished the right way. Highly recommend him for large interior painting projects."

"Cannot say enough good about the job that Innovation Painting and Remodeling did for us. We were looking for someone to paint a large commercial space. I reached out to the guys at Innovation Painting to see if they could do the job in the timeline that we needed. I contacted them in the middle of February and really needed the job completed before April first as the new tenant was moving in. They sent someone right over to give us a clear estimate of what the job would entail and the pricing. I was incredibly pleased with the pricing and approved the estimate. The job was completed within the timeframe that I needed, and the results were fantastic. During the job, the crew was extremely easy to deal with and made sure that I was kept in the loop as to how things were progressing. In the last couple of days of the project, an issue with the building was identified and they were able to make the repairs needed and still finish the job on time. I will definitely be using Innovation Pai"

"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!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Ellsworth, 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.
