Hello my name is Kylie, I have been in the drywall and painting fields for over 20 years. I am willing to travel over an hour from the Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw area for jobs. I do new construction and remodeling, full houses, additions, patch and repair. I am proficient in all aspects of drywall hanging and finishing as well as many different textures as well as painting. I am very easy to get along with and really listen to what the needs of the job are so making a plan that will be satisfying to the home owner.

"I could not be happier with the quality of workmanship I received. I hired Searle Painting and Staining to paint the exterior of my log cabin and to stain my covered log porch. From the first meeting with Bill and his crew I knew I would be happy with the work. Bill is great with communicating and that is very important to me. He worked with me to get the exact colors I wanted for the cabin & made suggestions on the type of stain I should use for the porch. The cabin looks brand new and porch is absolutely gorgeous!! He and his crew worked impeccably. They were very respectful of my property and took great care in the quality of their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and I already have them lined up for another job."

"After getting quotes from a few people, a different contracted for another project reccomended we use home advisor. GR painting pro came out, he was professional, he had everything he needed to give a good estimate, he was honest about what was needed. The price wasn't the cheapest we had recieved but we could tell we we're going to get better service. The project was completed in the time frame he gave. He utilized a lot of equiptment to protect the surrounding areas from dust and damage. The project was removing water damaged drywall from a wall and ceiling - I was very nervous about it blending in and was scared we'd need a popcorn ceiling to cover - that was not the case! When we finally got around to painting, there was a small spot that needed sanding...the next day he was out to do it, even though it had been over a month and we hadn't said anything to him regarding it. The assurance that he will come back if we have issues or concerns really cements this business as honest and worth the money."

FAQs for painting projects in Carson City, MI

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.
