"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."

"Great experience with Carlos and his crew painting my 1872 Victorian in Ridgefield. They spent several days prepping and sanding the exterior down to the wood. They re-glazed windows, removed and painted the wooden-framed window screens, and removed and painted the shutters as well. There was one section of wood rot that they replaced - all while staying within budget. No surprises. We went over all the details and expectations beforehand and I could not be happier with how my house is looking now. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have a daunting paint job. My house required several extremely tall ladders and these guys were up and down like it was nothing. Great crew, great work - top notch."

"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."

Customers say: Terrific value
"I have not contacted Danilo as of yet, so my review is not a fair one. Although I am VERY pleased with Danilo's work in cleaning the gutters, However, the solution he used left stains on my window pains and I recently had all my windows cleaned professionally - Normally, I would just clean them myself, but age has deterred me from doing so.

"My Pro was on time each day, protected all my floors. Great job tiling my bathroom floor and painting my bathroom. Pleasant, neat, clean. Highly recommend!"
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.
