"Rodney is the owner of Morehouse Painting. He was on time for the initial walk through and provided a timely quote. He was able to start painting per my timeframe. Rodney and Jeff did an excellent job, They were on time every day. We were matching existing colors and they were right on with the paint colors. We have high ceilings in part of the house....no problem. We had numerous nail pops. Those were repaired properly and look great. They also caulked as necessary. The interior looks like new again. Morehouse Painting gives "attention to detail" a whole new meaning. They found and repaired areas I didn't even notice previously. The exterior painting was pretty routine. It was done well and looks great. I rarely write reviews. Morehouse Painting is #1 in my book. You can trust Rodney and Jeff to any of your painting requirements. And if you like baseball, classic rock and/or mushrooms, you will find a lot to talk about with them."

"Lucas did a great job painting our extensive deck, and he showed up when he said he would. His fee was affordable. He was very pleasant to work with including listening to our concerns about painting during a rainy week and pollen dropping on freshly painted surfaces. Overall, we would definitely hire Lucas again for other painting projects."

"The Painting Group did a great job. Once they started the job they stayed with it until it was completed. It was finished in a timely manner and they taped off everything. They did a great job with clean up afterwards. I highly recommend The Painting Group."

"My husband and I hired Miguel and his team to paint our gazebo and stain our deck. They were prompt and respectful and friendly. They cleaned up well after themselves. Any concerns I brought up were quickly addressed and taken care of. We would recommend Miguel."

"Amazing! Robert was very communicative and flexible. We wanted the front door and garage doors painted quickly for an upcoming home appraisal. In less than 2 weeks we went from initial contact to project complete. We’re already discussing him painting out trim later this year. Can’t wait to continue working with him!"

"Jeff kept his appointment for the estimate. He called to set the time to do the painting and showed up when he said he would. He did nice work and was able to charge less than his estimate. I would hire him for any future painting."

FAQs for painting projects in Brookston, IN

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.
