"They only washed off the house because it has to be done before we can paint it. We aren't going to paint it until spring. They came to do it when then said they would and did a good job."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Reyes LLC for a remodeling project in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, Terry was professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. We wanted to add some beams and redo the ceiling and crown molding, and he exceeded our expectations in every way. The craftsmanship on the wood beams is stunning, and they seamlessly integrated them into our existing space. The attention to detail and quality of work were top-notch. Communication was excellent throughout the project. They kept us informed at every step and were always available to answer any questions we had. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was a huge relief. I highly recommend Reyes LLC to anyone looking for high-quality remodeling work. They truly transformed our home, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you for making our vision a reality!"

"John did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house. The estimate he gave was accurate to the final cost of the job, and he completed the job in the amount of time he estimated. He was communicative in the lead up to the job and promptly addressed any concerns. He kept a clean worksite and did a very neat job painting. He was also very helpful in pointing out a few areas for me to keep an eye on in the future for possible repairs. All, said, I had a great experience hiring John."

"I had an emergency roof repair. They took the time to let me know what the real issue was and even found a way to getting my very difficult to access attic. Previous repair job was done incorrectly. They did the repair the same day. The day before we were going to get a half Inc of rain. They identified additional repair and are willing to work with my schedule to do a fallow up repair before winter."

FAQs for painting projects in Waterbury, 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.
