If all they need is a coat of paint...

I've used a 12" mud knife. Push deep into where carpet meets baseboard.
Pull back to move carpet away from baseboard. Paint. Slide sideways.
Gotta wipe off knife every once in a while.

Should actually get one of these. 36" length.

That works. I have also shoved contractor's paper underneath the
baseboard with a putty knife, painted, then removed paper before the
paint got dry.
