"I can't say enough about the amazing job Cliff Stuart Interior Painting did with our complete interior house paint job. Cliff and his crew took the time to carefully remove all the lighting, windows, and electrical hardware in each of the rooms (and replaced at the end), repaired all the holes and damaged areas, and then hand painted primer and two coats of paint on all the walls, trim, and ceilings. This 31 year old house now looks as good as any of the new build model homes! We're so pleased with how it turned out. Cliff is a professional and shows up when he says he'll be there, takes care of the house during the process as if it were his own, and provides sage recommendation on the things you never even considered when you started the process. You get what you pay for and I believe I got everything I was hoping to receive and then some. You can find cheaper spray on paint companies out there, but I'm VERY satisfied with our results from hiring Cliff and his team!"

"I am retired military and am used to "attention to detail". Kind Home Painting Company did not disappoint. From the moment Jeff stopped by to tell us about their company, to the end of the painting, I found everyone along the journey to be very professional with much attention to detail. I have had my house painted several times, and Kind Homes is the best! Definitely, if you are in the market for a paint job, I highly recommend this company. Jeff managed the project and he and his supervisor, Kurt, came by frequently to inspect the progress. They have a great paint crew...Daniel Ford"

"We hired Painting Plus to paint our house that is in much need of painting. Our house is older, and has managed to be about 5 different colors. The process was easy, we were able to go down to our local painting store and look at colors, and choose from there. The owner, Derrick communicated with us via email, which made things super easy. Jesus was the individual who painted our house, he made sure he was clear about what we wanted, provided suggestions on what would look the best, informed us of his comings and goings throughout the day. He did a wonderful job. He left each day and cleaned up his tools, and left no mess. He was professional and respectful. We could not be happier with our choice, the finished product and plan to hire again for our rental property."

"I finally love my house! We bought our home 7 years ago and it had just been painted by the previous owner and the color was horrible. A flesh/band aid color with brown trim. But I could not justify the expense at the time but now I can! The paint job was meticulous, the crew was polite and professional, and we are just thrilled with the quality, the timeliness, and the price!"

"Kylan painted the exterior of both my home and my daughters home. We were very impressed with his work. He took the time to help us understand which paint would be best for our brick homes. He was very patient and responsive during the project. We have him scheduled to paint the interior this year! Iâ d highly recommend him to anyone."

FAQs for painting projects in Boulder, CO

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.
