Eventaully the floor in the room I'm repainting will have to be refinished, but that's a project for a long time from now.
BTW, does anyone have any recommendations for what sort of person to hire to take off molding? I have a pocket door that's fallen off of its track, and investigation has determined that I'll need to remove the molding around the door in order to get the pocket door out. Fixing the pocket door doesn't look like it will be too much trouble, but getting it out and back on again is the stickling point. I'm guessing, though I haven't talked to him, that a painter is used to dealing with molding, but I may be way off base. Should I hunt down a carpenter, even though it's a fairly small job?

Really--you have to take it off? Usually pocket doors simply require a lift and unhook.
If it's half-decent molding, get a carpenter, because it will split and you'll need him to put it back together right. If it's nothing special, buy a prybar and do it yourself, and then put it back up and have the painter cover any scrapes/cracks.
