"Austin and crew did an outstanding job painting my deck. It was pretty pathetic looking and Austin made it look brand new. He was professional and very reliable. He was right on time for the estimate and then for the job. He worked with me on the price and was easy to work with. Very nice and pleasant. I worked in customer service for many years and he ranks at the top. Even my dog loved him! I highly recommend AW Painting, you will not be disappointed. Monica T"

"These painters are ever more impressive and detailed than I ever imagined someone would be. We had multiple people come look at our house to be painted and Randy and Chris immediately stood out to us with their knowledge and understanding of what we wanted. And I never felt like we were being sold or pressured into anything. Highly recommend them!"

"Phoenix painting was very quick to start and finish. The work was done very well with attention to details anc my input and needs were accommodated with a smile and understanding. I highly recommend Phoenix Painting, and the owner Andy Pankow did an outstanding job with mitigation and repainting of a heavily smoke damaged home with zero problems. Well worth the money and a very reasonable quote compared to other contractors. Excellent work and work ethic."

"Very well overall. The Drywall work was very well done. The Painting was good. An additional coat would have possibly been better but it didn't matter to me since the tenant will want to paint to their liking. Tray was very responsive, price was very competitive and all went very smooth."

"Absolute Finishing was professional. They removed an old stove top and an oven built into the cupboards and left space for a new range. They were always friendly with explanations and went beyond expectations when unexpected problems with the project came up. I recommend them highly."

"Ray replaced some bad siding in various places, installed a new door/trim, added a gutter and ended up replacing windows for us. Sometimes weather and available workers were challenging, but he always kept me informed and was very pleasant to work with. Satisfied with the work and so far no issues-"

"I can’t praise Julian’s work enough. I was very pleased and look forward to having him back in the near future. He was prompt, persistent and proficient with an eye for detail, while focusing on the job at hand. Watching the care he took in his painting, including removing old paint coatings, applying various finishes, including primer, sealer and two coats of high quality paints, he also took the time to obtain the desired color needed. Along with all this, his pricing was more than fair for a job well done. Also, something you don’t experience everyday is, he wouldn’t accept my check until I approved all his work. In closing, I sound like an advertisement, but I’m trying to make the point of how pleased I was with his work. Thanks again Julian. See you again soon for some interior painting I need done."

FAQs for painting projects in Blair, NE

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.
