"I highly recommend Five Star Painting of Merrillville! They did an excellent job painting the interior (walls and ceilings) of our house! We also had them repair drywall from installing new can lights and now you cannot even tell where the damage was. They are so detailed and really go above and beyond! If you need help picking colors, they have a great eye and give tailored recommendations for your specific space. So much time is spent prepping the walls before painting even begins - not just fixing the holes from things like picture hangers but looking for nail pops, cracks, uneven spots, you name it - they want the end result to be as close to perfect as possible. The crew was friendly, on time, organized, and clean. Overall great customer service and communication from start to finish and very competitive pricing. I really cannot say enough good things about my experience with Five Star Painting. Use them!"

"Angel showed up right on time. He painted 2 coats of paint in a bedroom for me. He did an excellent job and just took him apx 3 hours. That included running blowers to dry the first coat. He was very friendly and I would highly recommend him."

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.
