"Jacob and crew were excellent. This is the second bigger project they've done for us. They were precise, prompt and polite throughout the process. Additionally, they are very neat. Everything looks perfect. Jacob will be staining our front porch, pillars, and door when the weather warms. We're planning to have Pro Painters handle another big project next year. If you have an upcoming painting project, I highly recommend using Pro Painters."

"From start to finish it was a great experience to work with Star Painters. Demir did a walk through on Sunday and by Tuesday we had signed the quote and agreed on a starting date the Monday after. First day was prep day and the following 3 days they painted 5 rooms (all different colors) and trim. They put down plastic throughout to prevent paint spatter. Like I mentioned a great experience. I will hire them again."

"The workers and the office support coordinator have all been very polite, responsive and easy to work with. They responded positively to touch-ups needed. They are professional painters and did a very good job with power washing, repair and scraping trims, sanding, priming and painting of the entire exterior of 2 houses including all trims and sidings. They were clean, efficient and on schedule. They kept me updated throughout the project."

"Leandro and his crew did a great job staining my house and painting the trim. The crew showed up when they said they would and came everyday (weather permitting) until the job was finished. His price was very fair for the work performed. Most importantly, Leandro returned all my emails within minutes. Highly recommend.."

"Glenn and his team did an AMAZING job painting the interior of my house. They were able to answer any questions that I had about the project and finished the job on time. My house looks better than ever! I will definitely hire New Haven Painters again for any future painting projects."

"Had a small painting project and quoted rate was good. However there were few spots/small patches where I had to clean up and repaint. Both painters were courteous and cleaned up well afterwards. Communication over email has scope for improvement. All in all 4.5/5 for a 3 hour project"

"I highly recommend CRS Painting. They have done so many home improvement projects for us and every one of them has been outstanding. They painted the exterior of our raised ranch, put down a new wood floor, and painted our family room. The most recent project, in November 2025, was painting our dining room, living room, halls and a bedroom and installing and staining six doors. Their is exceptional. When they paint they move all the furniture, cover it carefully and put it back neatly. They patch all the holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. They pay attention to every single detail and are friendly and responsive. I will definitely hire Celso and CRS for our next home improvement job."

"I have used Taurus Painting Services multiple times throughout my home’s many remodeling projects. This was a small project to paint walls and accent paint my foyer and stair risers leading to the second story. Steve communicates well and confirmed color choices and paint finishes before starting the project. He set eta’s and he and his small crew worked quietly and efficiently to complete the project as expected. All surfaces were prepped and furniture and flooring was either moved or protected. I highly recommend Taurus Painting Services for all your painting needs."

"Mr Silva handled himself in a professional manner, was always courteous and very concientious of work being performed. I would highly recommend AJ'S Drywall and Painting to anyone I know without any worries. He goes out of his way to ensure the job is more than 100% to the customers liking. He match a cieling texture which seemed impossible to match, I can't sat enough on how satisfied I am of the work completed."

FAQs for painting projects in New Milford, 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.
