"Tony removed the wallpaper from my entry way, down the hallway and up the stairs to the second floor and painted the walls. He had all the right equipment and plenty of â KNOW HOWâ to get the job done. He is easy to deal with and very polite. He cares about his work and his main goal is to have a satisfied customer. I would recommend Tony."

"Joe and Tina (Joe's Flooring and Painting) did an excellent job on our project! They were very clear in communication, budgeting and charged reasonable rates for quality work. They installed extra long vinyl plank flooring, baseboards, as well as remove and construct a new double wood staircase. They kept a clean work environment, were very polite and worked efficiently to complete the project in a timely manner. Would highly recommend Joe's Flooring and Painting for your flooring needs! Will definitely be hiring them again for their painting services this year."

"Jason, the owner, came and met us to discuss what we wanted done. He took the appropriate measurements and provided a detailed estimate a few days later (which included testimonials from prior customers). Once we selected him (from the 3 estimates we obtained) we scheduled the work at a time convenient for both parties. When the time came, the painter he sent, Keith Foskey, did a great job. It was apparent that Keith cared about his work and communicated well while he was here. All in all, we were very happy with the results and would use Summit Painting again.

"Bob mixed his carpentry skills with his creativity and built a custom dining table and four stools to match for me. He was very communicative throughout the whole design process and his attention to detail did not go unnoticed. My table is the center point of my space and I couldnâ t be happier with the craftsmanship or the customer service. Thanks, Bob!"

"Finding a reliable and skilled handyman can be a real challenge, especially in a place like Breckenridge where many people have second homes. Tyler's ability to handle various tasks and communicate effectively makes him a valuable asset for homeowners. Tyler has been the absolutely incredible. We purchased a home in Breckenridge, and the work that needed done varied from dishwasher and fridge repair, electrical outlet changes to patching and painting - as well as clearing out old furniture. He is professional, quick to respond and an excellent communicator. We continue to use Tyler for all of our projects for his dependability as well as excellent quality of 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.
