"I wrote a wonderful review prematurely! After the job was done I noticed that they forgot to paint the trim around the front door (interior). Also on the banisters that they stained, I noticed a white film kept forming on them which never happened before.
I contacted, Mark several times and each time he told me he would call me in a few weeks...he never did. I would call him and got the same response..I will call you, we are in the middle of a big job. Really? That is what you tell customers? I do not think they want to come back and take care of issues. Also, I started looking more closely at their work and noticed they did not take handles off of cabinets and you can clearly see brush marks around the handles where the rest of the cabinet doors were rolled.
My take is they do not come back if there is a problem...which they will tell you they do. Sorry I gave such a good report earlier.

"Amazing! Dan who is the owner and his helper do all the painting. They are very meticulous and careful. They came in after a botched painting job by another contractor, and did a great job of fixing everything. These are the best painters that I have ever worked with. They even did some extra work that was not on the estimate and did not charge me because they thought it was necessary to make the job look right. We had a special event coming up and they even rearranged their schedule to accommodate our deadlines. Look no further if you need a painter."

"We hired Danny’s Pro Painters for an exterior paint job on our hundred-year-old home. The previous paint job was in pretty bad shape and needed a lot of prep work. We were delighted from start to finish working with Danny and his crew. His quote was the most competitive of anyone we talked to, and their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction was above and beyond. The crew was kind, professional, and extremely precise. They did an amazing job in cleaning up a ton of old peeling paint, caulking, and addressing minor issues. Not to mention, they finished the job in only two days. And the final product looks incredible. I cannot speak highly enough about them! Looking forward to the next time we have a paint project so we can hire them again."

"Great! Andy painted cabinets in our den. They were old, dark seventies style cabinets. My husband and I could not get over the transformation. We were excited to begin with but did not expect them to turn out like they did. The detail of the painting, trim and shelves was just beautiful. The seventies cabinets are gone. There isn’t even a hint that they were there. We were very impressed. We would definitely hire them again. Andy was very thorough and tidy. He answered all of my questions. FISH was very professional. We would use them again in a heartbeat! We are so happy we found them."

"These guys are the best. Period. They ve painted two barns and fence at one of our properties two years ago. And this summer stained a deck, pergola and privacy fence. The difference w Whites is the prep work. Anyone can paint or stain. The longevity comes from the prep work."

"Rickleff Painting recently painted our kitchen, family room, entryway, stairway and upstairs hall. Also ceilings and trim in all the areas. The painters were very professional and stayed on task. The project took several days and they arrived and departed on time each day. We were so pleased with the results especially with the repaired ceiling tape in family room that had needed fixing for 20 years. Love the refreshed clean look of our home."

"The Painting edge was great to work with for our staining project. From the beginning with Todd, to the end with Debbie, communication was great. Debbie made sure I was completely happy with my project. I love, love, love how my stairs that used to have carpet look now with stain on them. I have included some pictures of before and after. If you need someone for your staining project, The Painting Edge is your team."

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.
