"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!"

"Raul Rivera Of kind home painting did an excellent job on painting the cabinets. Kind Home painting was very Trustworthy, professional, diligent, hard-working and they do an excellent job in painting. I have some additional work that they have bid on and I’m definitely going to give it to them. New customers who have never utilized Kind Home painting - I strongly recommend that they give this contractor serious consideration."

"We were referred to Painting Plus from a friend who had a great experience. They just finished painting the interior of our new home, and did a fantastic job. There were on time for the quote, followed up quickly, started up the day after we provided the paint colors, and kept coming back until the job was finished. During the work, they were very careful about covering floors and furniture, and the finished product looked great. We would highly recommend."

"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.
