"The A1 crew, led by Geraldo, did a stellar job on my personal residence. They demo’ed deteriorating siding in certain problematic locations followed by painting the whole house to achieve one, uniform color. No need to search further than A1!"

"SO glad we found Troys Painting. Troy came and gave a fair price and answered all my questions. He and the crew arrived just as promised. They immediately got down to business no lollygagging around. He left his crew there and they worked hard for 10 hours straight to complete the job. They not only painted they did a few repairs that needed doing we had no clue were issues. They worked neat and cleanly, left no traces they were ever there except the beautiful house they just painted. The crew was so good we were compelled to tip each and every one of them. I recommend Troys Painting for all you painting and staining needs, I know we will call them for all we need to be done, Thank you, Troy and Crew!"

"Hector and Hector Jr. were absolutely fantastic! They painting my entire house inside and out. Every time I run into a neighbor on the street the first thing they say is how impressed they are with the new paint. Not only did they do a great job, but the pricing was very reasonable."

"Foothills Painting far exceeded my highest expectations for sprucing up our basement. George and his crew worked their magic turning a dingy space into a pure white ceiling with Alabaster walls and trim. They painted carefully and efficiently all with a keen eye for any places for touch ups. Miles, Rachel, and Ray were team players, each executing their roles in a professional and friendly manner to make our job happen. We will definitely use them again next spring for exterior painting. Thanks Foothills Painting!"

"Lee is amazing! Communication is on top, and keeps his word. Pricing is affordable and quality of work is fantastic. Lee works quick and efficient! He supplied the paint, equipment, everything for this project. Made it super easy on my behalf! I would absolutely use him again! A before and after picture. The garage wall was blue when I bought the house and I asked for black. Knowing black can be seen on anything, the line work is perfect! I’m a perfectionist and am very happy with this work. He also paint matched the front door to the garage wall! When he was done, he cleaned up after himself, would have never known he was here, no messes at all!"
After taping off areas for over spray protection, the siding was stained with a spray rig for efficiency and good seal coverage. The deck will match at a later date.
This is the finished 2 coat stain sealer. Day 2 after 24hr dry . Beautiful warm colors for even late fall after the leaves will have dropped.
Siding first coat of stain and some trim vent repair.

FAQs for painting projects in Fort Collins, 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.
