"Ryan and team excellent to partner with. He came out next day, gave free estimate. Gave competitive bid with exterior damage option as well as paint options. Terms fair, 30 percent down when started. His team started inside a week. The quality of their work was fantastic. The prep and caulking work was done without any shortcuts. Painting quality excellent. I chose them due to 5 star rating and they were local. His business lived up to their 5 star rating. Would highly recommend."

"Troy and his crew worked wonders doing a ton of finishing work and banister resurfacing, along with some tedious vaulted ceiling light installations. They started with a mess of half-finished and inconsistently started paint and trim work, and ended with a transformed, neat, and very pleasing final product! There are so many details that I'm so satisfied with, and that Troy transparently and fairly incorporated into the price without burdensome haggling or oversight/nagging needed: comprehensive and thorough prep ("painting is prep," as the saying goes), supremely sharp corners and borders everywhere, abundant and very precise caulking, switch plates and outlet covers just taken care of, etc, etc, etc -- I really felt like they went the extra mile and treated it like their own place. Not only was the quality of the work amazing, but Troy communicated clearly and promptly via text and managed to fit my job in around holiday time and despite some extreme weather. Bottom line is that I wholeheartedly recommend Troy's Pro Painting and Staining. I am grateful they happened to be available when I really needed a true pro!"

"I used Peak Pro Painting for full exterior painting, garage door re-staining, and interior painting. Everything looks great, and the exterior painting quote was significantly less than competitors' quotes. I would definitely use Peak Pro painting again in the future."

"Foothills painting was outstanding! They were very responsive to get started with the spray wash of our home while watching the weather carefully. They stayed in contact with me the entire time and worked around my schedule. The entire process was easy, very affordable compared to most and a very pleasant experience. Their painting crew was also excellent and attentive. I highly recommend Foothills Painting."

"Review: â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ â­ ï¸ I highly recommend Absolute Paint and Stain for all your painting needs. I recently had the pleasure of working with them on painting my house, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Absolute Paint and Stain is a company that truly values professionalism and customer satisfaction. They were punctual and great communicators through the entire process. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence is truly commendable. They worked tirelessly until the job was absolutely perfect, and the results speak for themselves. One thing that really stood out to me was their dedication to helping me choose the perfect paint for my home. They showed me various samples and offered expert advice to ensure that I got the color I wanted. Their choice to use paint from a paint store, rather than generic brands from Home Depot, made all the difference. The end result was a beautifully painted home that exceeded my expectations. I deeply regret not choosing Absolute Paint and Stain from the beginning. I made the mistake of hiring another painter who was unreliable, sloppy, and ultimately ruined the paint job in my home. I wish I had gone with Absolute Paint from the start, as there is truly no better painting company in northern Colorado. If you are looking for painters who are professional, reliable, and will deliver exceptional results, look no further than Absolute Paint and Stain. Trust me when I say that you will not regret choosing them for your painting needs. Happy Customer-N."

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.
