Customers say: Terrific value

"I needed to paint the foyer and Great Room in my home and needed a pro due to the high ceilings. Alex and his crew did a great job! I didn't expect perfection, but wanted something that I would do myself, because I am VERY picky and have painted many other rooms in my home, without high ceilings. They exceeded my expectations! Prompt, hard working, pride in the quality of their work and eager to please me, the customer. I think my painting days are now over. I will hire them for ALL of my painting needs in the future!"

"I had Vieiras paint my house after a neighbor recommended them to me last year. Willian and his team did an excellent job with a reasonable price. Their work was above and beyond my expectation. They are very professional. They paid attention to detail. They found the rotten wood and replaced all of them. Willian even fixed a leak on my roof with no extra charge. He is such a nice guy! He is someone that I can trust for house projects. He is very good at communicating with customers. He explains how he would do the job and why. I have recommended him to friends and neighbors and they were all happy with his work."

He did incredible painting of the my 12' x 25' front porch, as well one interior wall. I totally recommend Colorset Painting for your next job"

FAQs for painting projects in Holden, MA

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.
