"James is a true craftsman; his workmanship and professionalism are outstanding. The room he painted for us turned out beautifully, and he also did excellent work on patching and priming two other ceilings for us. James was prompt, courteous, supportive, and very fair with his pricing. He gave us the best estimate that we had received and then - to my astonishment - reduced the agreed-upon price when some of the work took less time than he expected. I would strongly recommend James and Affordable Painting to anyone."

"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."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Baldo Ambrocio has been working for us for several years and we have never been disappointed. He is a hard worker, does quality work and shows up on time. He recently replaced part of our wrap-around deck, taking out rotted wood and reinforcing it, then putting on new wood, staining and painting. He also replaced rotted railings and repainted them. We are very pleased with the results and have just hired him again to power-wash the house."

"Eric was a pleasure to deal with. Whether it is returning a phone call, replying to an email or a scheduled appointment his punctuality is spot on. He is also a very personable and nice guy. The overall quality of staining our deck was excellent. I have no hesitations about hiring Eric and crew again for future projects."

"I highly recommend CRS Painting for any home improvement needs. They recently completed several projects at my home, including painting the exterior of the house, installing vinyl flooring, and removing a popcorn ceiling in the bathroom. Their work was high quality, done efficiently, and the team was professional and respectful throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, and they took care to ensure everything was completed to my satisfaction. If you’re looking for a dependable and skilled team for painting or general home updates, CRS Painting is an excellent choice."

FAQs for painting projects in Middletown, 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.
