"NB Painting was very professional. Kept the site clean each day. Delivered what was promised. The painting is excellent and the wall prep was just as good. Price was competitive and the work was completed without delay. I recommend NB Painting and would hire again. The owner is very personable and listens to your expectations as well as offer recommendations. Thank you Nick."

"I highly recommend working with Leo for any residential exterior or interior painting projects! He recently completed painting the exterior at our home at it looks perfect! It is clear that he takes personal pride in his work product. I already scheduled him to continue painting the interior garage!"

"James was outstanding and did everything he quoted and was on time for the quote, power washing and paint job. He was east to work with and even did more work than he quoted and save us from having to paint one wall ourselves. We did the lower part of the house and he did the upper parts, dormers and chimney. I only wish we had more painting needing to be done because I will be going back to him and in the future. I will definitely refer my family and friends to have James quite for their painting projects. A++++ in my book."

"If you are considering taking bids from multiple painting companies, STOP RIGHT NOW and just hire Pro Monte Painting! The quality of the work by each of the SMEs (Patching/Sanding/Prep/Painting) is absolutely impeccable. When you hire Pro Monte you will experience top notch customer service and ongoing communication at all points of the process - you will never be in the dark waiting for a call or wondering what happens next and when - you will be in the "know" every step of the process. Each day the SME's showed up on time and were professional and friendly. I can't speak highly enough for the Pro Monte Painting team and would highly recommend them for your project."

"Compared to other previous contractors Ellison Painting was by far the most professional company during our interior and exterior projects. The 3-man very friendly crew did an absolutely outstanding work, and the whole process from estimating, paint color consulting to completion has been a very positive experience and we would definitely recommend Ellison for any painting projects."

FAQs for painting projects in Clawson, 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.
