"Aaron, Nathan, and their crew did a very thorough job with power washing our house and fence, caulking, and prep-work. They did a meticulous job painting the house and staining the fence. The team was costumer focused. We had a very positive experience with Priceless Painting Contractors."

"Jose Gutierrez exceeded my expectations in every way. His attention to detail, care for our home as if it were his own, and quiet humor are remarkable. His price is below what others quoted me. He is fast yet never careless. And he's someone I quickly grew to trust deeply, which is important when you're spending days on end together. He first transformed our new-to-us home that had wildly different colored (poorly painted at that) walls and doors. They now look fresh, new, and welcoming. Months later we brought him back to paint the house and garage. Looks like a new home! He & his team are truly wonderful."

"The painter stined my small 2-panel fence beautifully. However, I was initially quoted $100 after sending a picture and inviting them out to view it and the painter showed up, told me it was bigger than he thought, and told me it was going to be $250."

"We needed a door installed between our kitchen and basement. Finest (styled fiNest) Home Services came out and gave a professional and reasonable bid. Their staff was professional and friendly, and this held true on the day of installation. The door is great and my cat is safe. We will be using fiNest again."

FAQs for painting projects in Ellsworth, 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.
