"Very professional and responded with interest to my requests. I would most definitely hire them again with pleasure. The job I had wasn't just painting walls it consisted of a lot of water damage in hard to reach areas. Jessica took on this job with total confidence and skillfully repaired and painted every job with precision. What a joy speaking with Jessica as well."

"First time customer but couldn't be happier with the results of the interior painting. Joseph showed extreme attention to detail and craftmenship re-finishing all woodwork, painting most all walls & ceilings throughout our 3 floor condo. This was for a vacation property which meant that we wouldn't be there to see daily progress and had to be comfortable with workers being in your home while not present. To help, Joseph made sure to call & provide updates & mailed us pictures of the work in progress. Proved to be extremely trustworthy. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely hire again."

FAQs for painting projects in Peru, VT

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.
