"Everything was done better and faster than I expected! They were very knowledgeable about paints and the process. They even took on a few extra projects I needed painted such as some exterior cement wall and our porch swing. Very kind and professional!"

"Alian was incredibly responsive to my requests and understood exactly what I needed. He approached the work with respect and professionalism, completing everything efficiently and without delays. His craftsmanship transformed my outdated rental home into a stunning and classy space. Because of this exceptional experience, I hired Paint Bros for two additional projects. Alian and his team revitalized the exterior decks of my home, removing old deck stain and creating a finish that is both beautiful and durable. I also entrusted them with restoring another property after a water break. Alian expertly completed the knockdown texturing and interior painting, leaving the basement better than it was before. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Alian and Paint Bros. His attention to detail, high-quality work, fair pricing exceeded my expectations. I’ve built a strong working relationship with them and continue to rely on them for future projects. I highly recommend Alian and Paint Bros."

"When I reached out to Tenzin, he was very responsive and showed up as promised to provide us a quote on the painting project.  His pricing was very competitive vs. others that we had asked for bid.  But most important to us was that Tenzin and his crew were available within the timeframe that we needed to have the project completed.

Our paint project took over a week to complete given the extensive nature of the work.  Not only did we have the entire interior and exterior repainted, but we had three wood doors resanded and revarnished.  In addition, we had bead board panels on our two garage doors that had warped.  Tenzin and his team ripped them off, resanded and repainted to doors.  These projects were not typical for a painting company to tackle and we were very appreciative that they did.

Overall, we could not have been more pleased with TM Painting. Not only was the quality of the work excellent, but their pricing was competitive and they were true to their word about what they would do.  

I would highly recommend TM Painting and would rehire them in a heartbeat!!!"

"Tom came out to bid on our project on May 22, 2014.  He was very thorough in explaining how much and what type of paint would be needed.  He was reasonable and fair with his estimate.  He came to our home on June 20th and prepped the entire area first. He asked us to come into the home to see the prep work.  Once we approved, he then started spraying all the ceilings.  As he was working, he asked us to come back in to see the difference between the newly painted area and the old.  Remarkable difference.  He sprayed the textured ceilings twice with primer/paint.  He did a nice job cleaning up.  Very personable and nice to work with.  I would recommend him.

"My experience with Jared and Paula couldn’t have went any better and I love my new kitchen! They were on time, communicated daily even when I had a ton of questions choosing a color. I am so impressed with the quality and durability of my cabinets. They even painted my kitchen for free! I will definitely use them again in the near future!"

FAQs for painting projects in Cleveland, MN

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.
