Customers say: True professional

"It went well. We hired Chris Bodei to paint the ceilings in each room in our house, using a "distressed" technique to match the walls that I was painting (bad neck, so I hired out the ceilings). Chris is a master craftsman who has worked on many sophisticated paint projects over many years (including movie sets and hotel restoration), and he did a very nice job in our house. The color-mesh technique involved four colors applied simultaneously and lightly worked together to produce a distressed adobe effect. Chris is a meticulous painter, and in addition to being a fine artisan, he is extremely careful about not getting paint where it doesn't belong (his ability to cut-in around ceiling fixtures using a brush on a pole from the ground is something to see). We are very happy with the work."

"We are thrilled with the results. The work crew was always punctual, friendly, and careful. George, the crew leader, was extremely knowledgeable about all things related to making our house look its best. He even noticed that the weatherstripping around our front door was in bad shape and promptly replaced it after consulting with us. (We didn't think of that, so we are grateful for his attention to detail.) Herb Thorn, the owner of Guaranteed Painting, is wonderful. He is easy to reach and very nice! We are so impressed, in fact, that we have hired him again to do some remodeling work in our bathroom. We are confident that our bathroom project will turn out just as well as our house-painting project. We highly recommend Guaranteed Painting."

"Harald is great! He was able to accommodate my quick timeline. He painted the entire house and it looks wonderful. He was always willing to offer opinions on what would look best and what kind of paint/sheen to use. He was reasonably priced and pays a lot of attention to details. I would definitely hire again."

"Fernando and Sam are a pleasure to work with. Fernando is meticulous in his workmanship. We had no idea how much detail was involved in painting the cabinet doors and drawers, as well as the cabinet boxes. Much of it was done by hand with small brushes. They ended each day by cleaning their work area so we were not inconvenienced. They were prompt and courteous. Overall we couldn't be happier with the finished job."

"Joseph and his team painted my iron gates that were rusting, repaired a brick wall and removed hard water stains building up from my sprinkler system. I also have him on the schedule to restain some doors and cabinet inside my house as well as outside stucco repair. They are all very nice, punctual, hard workers, and efficient. I highly recommend this company!"

FAQs for painting projects in Bernalillo, 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.
