"We are thrilled with the great job that Denis and his co-workers did on our deck. They thoroughly sanded, washed, and meticulously applied 2 coats of stain. Denis even voluntarily came back with his nail gun first thing the next morning to fix a loose piece of trim. They were VERY hard working, very nice, and good about contacting us."

"Brian and his crew did an excellent job with the interior painting of my son's house. From start to finish from prepping to cleanup every detail was done. They were on time, professional, friendly and worth the cost. He would definitely hire them again and recommend to anyone looking to hire the right company for the job!"

"Fridholm Painting was highly recommended on the Nextdoor listserv by previous clients, so we scheduled a visit for an estimate for interior and exterior painting. John Fridholm personally came to provide the estimate within a few days, and he described what would be needed given what we were requesting (primer to cover murals, stain for cedar shingles). We decided to split the work into separate jobs - interior then exterior - given our budget, although we found his estimates to be very fair. Matt did the interior work - kitchen and bedroom. He arrived exactly on time each morning for the 2-day interior job. He was very professional, did a meticulous job, cleaned up thoroughly, and was super patient with my friendly but barking dog. I highly recommend Fridholm, and we will ABSOLUTELY have them back in the spring for the exterior work."

"Palla Painting is far above any other contractor I have ever used. The response time to my inquiry was immediate, the owner scheduled me for the next day to look at the job and the job was completed a few days later. In this day and age it's hard to get a contractor to return a call, never mind actually follow through. Blerim from Palla Painting arrived today and he and his partner fixed cracks in the ceilings (one was ready to fall) in several rooms. They fixed peeling drywall tape and then then painted the kitchen, living room, foyer, hallway and 2 bedrooms. What an amazing job they did! Blerim and his partner were professional, efficient and friendly. The price was fair and the work done was outstanding. I highly recommend Palla Painting! Thank you Blerim!"

"Very nice and ON TIME contractor. He ended up painting the whole room because of the extent of the repairs needed which he handled without delay. He gave a written estimate and stuck to it. Would definitely have him back."

FAQs for painting projects in Saratoga Springs, NY

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.
