"From the start the Preemo Painting company was easy to deal with. The crew that painted the exterior of our house was always prompt to work and always cleaned up at the end of the day. The work was of high quality and was complemented by many of the neighbors. Would highly recommend to use for all your painting needs"

"Tom was in communication about wanting to paint in ideal conditions when the humidity was down, as the project was painting the interior of my garage. Once they started they took their time to make sure I was satisfied and even put more coats on in the high traffic areas to be sure the paint lasts longer. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend for paint projects."

"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work!"

"Owner, Marty, was wonderful to work with and so was his painter, Corey. Communication was a breeze and every thing was done professionally. Both owner, Marty, and Corey, the painter, were cordial, responsive, and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with Marty. They were also cooperative since I requested the work be done in a certain way and they agreed. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I need more painting done. This time, the job was on the small side - painting large kitchen island cabinets - but next time, it would likely be a much bigger job. I highly recommend using this company."

"The Double GG team is the real deal. I got 2 bedrooms done for a reasonable price in less than a day. They used quality paint, explained product and finish options to me as well as some basic industry standards, and did thorough patching beforehand. The previous coat was 20 years old with stains, scuffs, and smoke streaks - now my rooms look like the home I have always wanted. Plus, the customer service is TOP NOTCH. 5 out of 5, would hire again!"

FAQs for painting projects in Elburn, IL

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.
