"We hired Tony to paint the interior of our newly purchased house before we moved in. The job included the living / dining area, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and three bedrooms including closets. We were staying over an hour away, so most days Tony let himself in and worked independently. Tony was fantastic to work with. Great at communication, trustworthy, Covid-safe, and upfront about costs including a detailed estimate that he stuck to. And the house looks beautiful!!! We were thrilled with the flawless results, and it was worth every penny to be able to move right into the freshly painted house and get settled. I look forward to having Tony back to paint the exterior of our house, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of painting services."

"Our experience with CertaPro Painters was outstanding! Weâ ve worked with a lot of contractors over the years building houses (including the one weâ re in now here in Gilpin County), commercial properties, etc. and theyâ ve been one of the very best to work with, if not the best. They spent 5 days power-washing, painting the house and trim, sealing timbers, and staining deck and stair rails (all exterior) â those 5 days were spread over two different weeks because they would not paint if it was going to rain, which we very much appreciated. They put two coats on, so the paint is thick and durable and looks great. Aside from the great work on the jobsite, one of the most valuable features of their services was Lindaâ s assistance with color selection. We are accountants, not decorators; Linda drove all the way up here to help us with color selection, and that service itself was almost worth the entire cost of the project for us!"

"I came to know Snappy Painting via referral from a friend, as they were very pleased with both the interior painting and exterior staining services they received. I hired these guys for a full head to toe interior repainting project and I must say- I am throughly impressed! Zaneâ s communication, customer service and timeliness was more than satisfactory. Even better is the result- the attention to detail really sets this job apart. He even helped seal my windows just in time for the winter season. I simply canâ t recommend Snappy Painting co. enough! Thanks again, Zane!"

"Israel did a fantastic job on restructuring and replacing our steep flagstone north stairway. He tore out and rebuilt front patio and pathways. He and his crew were most professional and cleaned up total areas completely. Highly recommend his work!"

FAQs for painting projects in Idaho Springs, 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.
