"I got a response from Brian within about 2 days. He and his counterpart, Larry, came over and evaluated our home's needs. Brian explained the process and gave me an estimate for the work that they felt needed to be done. Brian emailed me the prices and the work that they would do. I felt informed and was treated with complete respect and courtesy (Note: this was important to me because folks in the building field have often been patronizing and rude to me. I have attributed it to my gender after watching them be more appropriate with my husband.) When I was ready they were here within about another 2 days. My house now looks almost new and we are very pleased! I had received estimates from about 4 or 5 other companies, prior to this, and their estimates were 2 to 6 times what Adobe Painting quoted me. This and the fact that the Angie's list rating for Adobe was A+ persuaded me to hire them. I'm glad that I did!"

"I'm so glad I found this company. They were quick to respond to my request. On time and got to work right away. We had them do a paint job and ended up having them do some stucco patch work as well. Both jobs turned out great. They are professional, friendly, and reasonable. We will definitely be working with them in the future."

"Brian did an excellent job repairing a small area on a stucco wall. The repair is all but undetectable. He also matched and repainted my garage doors and resealed my stained front concrete. Excellent job all around and I would most definitely hire Adobe Painting again."

"Van Meter Painting did an excellent, efficient, and professional job repainting my home. The owner - Mike - was courteous and professional, and was clearly knowledgeable about paint and was able to provide some valuable advice and recommendations. They were able to complete the job for a fair price within the expected time frame. I will be using Van Meter for all of my future painting needs. They run an honest business and were a pleasure to work with."

"Way more than painting! We initially hired Juan to rip out a ~400 sq-ft ceiling and the old Celotex tiles glued to it, (did I mention they were GLUED?) then install new ½ sheet rock with texture. We also asked him to create sheet rock boxes to hide pipes and provide structure for us to install recessed lighting. He and his crew did such an outstanding job that we hired him further to take out the old bathtub and tile, sheet rock an anti-room, create a closet to enclose the sump pump, spackle over cinder block walls to hide the seams andâ wait for itâ paint! If you wonder why this great work his business provided only rated 4.5 starts, it is because no one really trusts a review full of 5 stars. At least, I donâ t. But, you can trust Juan and his crew. They are quite focused on providing excellent craft with stellar (4.5 of them!) customer service. When adding this amount of work as you go along with your project, I recommend writing down all the little things to keep both parties focused. Now, I rest. If you hire Juan, so can you!"

FAQs for painting projects in Santa Fe, NM

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.
