"We highly recommend Five Star Painting! Everyone that we had contact with was professional, friendly, efficient, and responsive. We had ceilings and walls in 4 rooms and 3 hallways painted and they finished in 1.5 days. And it all looks so good! Very reasonable pricing. Meticulous work. We will definitely use them for any future painting needs."

"We are so pleased with the service received from Ultra Painting! Kenzie actually exceeded our expectations. We had two bedrooms painted. The project was completed in one day! At the time of the estimate, Kenzie explained the process involved, how long the project might take, and advised how many coats of paint needed in each room. I was so impressed with his professionalism and passion for the trade. On the day of the service, he arived on time, moved the furniture around as needed and then moved it all back to the original places. He was focused on doing and completing a quality job! I am keeping his name on file for future projects. We recommend Ultra Painting whole-heartedly and will contact them for future business."

Customers say: True professional

"I don’t think there is anything Oscar can’t do. He put up screens, fixed electrical issues, installed an air conditioner, fixed door jams so that our doors would lock, added a handrail to the basement and sanded and painted holes on the wall. I can’t say enough good things about Oscar’s work. He is very personable too. I highly recommend Oscar for any job you might need done."

"CJ was awesome. We had him install our new dishwasher in our old home - a tricky proposition with the very tight space and old water line set up. He was super personable, stayed in good communication, and did a fantastic job getting the dishwasher installed & adapting the surrounding space (capping and moving old lines; tapping into the sink and asking how we wanted that done, etc.). He was even fine to run to Home Depot mid-job to get the supplies he needed to finish the job in one day. Highly recommend! We already started talking to him about future projects because we will definitely use him again."

FAQs for painting projects in Dane, WI

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.
