"Nick did an outstanding job painting the interior of our home and we will have him paint the exterior of our home next spring. He is very professional and a pleasure to work with! Nick painted all walls and ceilings in our new home, which included 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, pantry, study. and living room with cathedral ceilings. His painting is superb and he pays attention to details. He also worked with us on our time frame and completed the project ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a great painter!!"

"Shane was quick to respond to my initial contact, as well as to any questions I had along the way. He offered very helpful tips to me prior to the project start. In addition, I requested an unscheduled painting of my kitchen cabinets which I had not included in my original project plan. The project started on time, as scheduled. Scott spent a week working at my house and Tim, the quality control manager, stopped by mid-week to look at some areas of my ceiling that were soot stained from a wood burning stove. Scott did a tremendous job painting - my living room was not an easy job, but he was professional, paid close attention to details, and rechecked the work to make sure it was perfect. He was a very pleasant young many to have in my home for the week, very personable, and he answered any questions I had. As busy as his schedule is, Shane graciously fit in the kitchen cabinet painting for me while Scott was at my home. The work is top notch, quality is unmatched, very professional, timely, responsive and the prices are more than fair for the outstanding work they do. I will have Walls-N-All Painting back again to do future projects. Thank you everyone at Walls-N-All for an exceptional painting job, your courtesy and consideration, your professionalism, and for accommodating a last minute request."

"Had them paint majority of our new house including a full 2 story living room. Excellent work, on time, and went above and beyond and put an extra coat on the ceiling in the kitchen at no extra cost to make it look better. Would highly recommend and will use them for any future paint projects."

"This is the second time we have used Somerset Painting. They did not disappoint! They are prompt with estimates, their painters are prompt, professional, friendly and trustworthy. The quality of work was excellent for both our jobs (staining our banister and painting our interior walls, trim, and doors). We would hire them again!"

"Scheduling was easy, I did everything over email. It was a little while before the crew came out - in 2 trips, one was for power washing prep, and 1 for the actual painting, but this was due to weather. The power washing I assumed would just be of the surfaces to be painted, but it looked like he removed the mold/mildew on the back siding of my house which was a pleasant surprise. The painting crew came about a week later and worked from 9am to about 7pm, completing the job. It turned out really nice, the wood was caulked and the painting made it look new again. I have no complaints and I'm happy with the results."

"I had my exterior vinyl sided house painted by Ellison Painting. They were extremely professional, taking great care to do the job right. Brad and Rachel were excellent to work with throughout the project and checked in/walked the project to make sure I was satisfied. Overall, great experience and result. Would definitely recommend Ellison Painting in the future!"

"Larry did a beautiful job painting my entire home. His wall repairs are excellent. You cannot tell where he patched the screw holes, gashes, etc. on the walls. I particularly appreciated his attention to detail. When he saw something that needed repair, he brought it to my attention so it could be fixed before painting. He is professional, neat and knowledgeable about paints for special areas. I would use him again."

FAQs for painting projects in Clarkston, 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.
