"I cannot say enough good things about A M Painting. Anthony removed the popcorn ceiling from our entire house, painted the walls in our foyer, and painted/refinished our kitchen cabinets. He wasn’t even finished with the ceilings and walls when we asked if he could do the cabinets too and he started those almost immediately after we brought it up. It was by no means a small project. By the time he was done we had a completely different looking beautiful modernized house. Anthony worked quickly and efficiently. He is very professional and personable, very responsive, and kept us updated on his progress throughout the entire project. And his work is just absolutely flawless. I can’t stop staring at how beautiful our cabinets look now. For high quality, efficient work for a very reasonable price I absolutely recommend A M Painting."

"Prior to selling our home it was suggested the interior be repainted. We contacted LTD and set a price and time frame which was extremely fair for both sides. All I can say is above and beyond expectations. Work was done prior to deadline and the quality was fantastic. Attention to detail, promptness, professional attitude. Job well done. Would definitely recommend and or hire again!"

"I highly recommend CRS Painting. They have done so many home improvement projects for us and every one of them has been outstanding. They painted the exterior of our raised ranch, put down a new wood floor, and painted our family room. The most recent project, in November 2025, was painting our dining room, living room, halls and a bedroom and installing and staining six doors. Their is exceptional. When they paint they move all the furniture, cover it carefully and put it back neatly. They patch all the holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. They pay attention to every single detail and are friendly and responsive. I will definitely hire Celso and CRS for our next home improvement job."

"If you're looking for a company to do a quality professional paint job at an affordable rate I highly recommend Jonathan at Unique's Painting! I submitted a request for an interior paint project on the Angi app. Jonathan not only contacted me immediately, he also came to my house that same day to give me a quote. I hired him to paint 3 rooms in my new home. The existing paint job was horribly done and almost every wall was left with small holes and lumpy bumpy surfaces. Jonathan and his team did an amazing job at filling, sanding, & prepping the walls and trim prior to painting and as a result the final paint job in all 3 rooms turned out fantastic!! During the process Jonathan even repaired several damaged areas on the tin ceiling before painting it and sent me video updates since I wasn't there. I will definitely be calling Unique's Painting for all my future paint projects and you should too!!"

"KBG Constuction did amazing work for us. They have been very professional, friendly, and understanding to our needs, and did exactly what we asked for. They were on time, responsive, and completed the job very quickly with quality results we are very happy with. Specifically, we had a room that had extensive water damage, drywall and ceilings had to be replaced. We had hired a handyman to do the job originally, but he ended up doing poor quality work and stopped showing up. It was starting to become a nightmare. That's when we found KBG Construction and we had the job corrected and finished, sheetrock, ceilings, trim, paint all done in short order - we were and still are amazed at how nice everything came out, with no stress. Thanks KBG, glad we found you!"

FAQs for painting projects in Clinton, CT

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.
