"I had just bought a house in Santa Fe that desperately needed new paint throughout to brighten the interior. There was just over a week between close and when I'd be arriving with my furniture. Several larger painting companies were booked into early next year. I found Harald on Angi-- he gave me a fair estimate and *guaranteed* he could do the whole job in a week. He started the morning after close and worked every day to get it done, even applying two coats to most walls. He was particularly adept at finding the right color that would brighten the walls/ceilings while still speaking to the stained wood doors and trim. The new paint has made a world of difference, the house looks and feels so much better. I would recommend Harald to anyone looking for someone reliable who does good quality work."

"Luois, did a phenomenal job painting the interior area of my house. The services were very professional, high quality, and a great cost. I would 100% recommend his services and will be hiring him again for other house improvement projects."

"Van Meter Painting did an excellent, efficient, and professional job repainting my home. The owner - Mike - was courteous and professional, and was clearly knowledgeable about paint and was able to provide some valuable advice and recommendations. They were able to complete the job for a fair price within the expected time frame. I will be using Van Meter for all of my future painting needs. They run an honest business and were a pleasure to work with."

"Way more than painting! We initially hired Juan to rip out a ~400 sq-ft ceiling and the old Celotex tiles glued to it, (did I mention they were GLUED?) then install new ½ sheet rock with texture. We also asked him to create sheet rock boxes to hide pipes and provide structure for us to install recessed lighting. He and his crew did such an outstanding job that we hired him further to take out the old bathtub and tile, sheet rock an anti-room, create a closet to enclose the sump pump, spackle over cinder block walls to hide the seams andâ wait for itâ paint! If you wonder why this great work his business provided only rated 4.5 starts, it is because no one really trusts a review full of 5 stars. At least, I donâ t. But, you can trust Juan and his crew. They are quite focused on providing excellent craft with stellar (4.5 of them!) customer service. When adding this amount of work as you go along with your project, I recommend writing down all the little things to keep both parties focused. Now, I rest. If you hire Juan, so can you!"

"We recently had our kitchen cabinets painted by Capital City Coating and the results came out amazing. The finish is smooth, clean, and professional, and it completely transformed the look of our kitchen. The attention to the cabinet doors, trim, and edges was excellent, and everything looks factory-finished. The crew was professional, reliable, and kept the workspace clean throughout the project. Communication was great from start to finish, and the project was completed on time. We?re extremely happy with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend Capital City Coating to anyone looking to update their cabinets or interior painting."

FAQs for painting projects in Tesuque, NM

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.
