"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."

"We did not know Tad prior to us hiring him to paint our home. We got three estimates, and Tad came up the lowest… By far. With the lowest price bid, I questioned what kind of quality I would be getting for my money. For those of you having similar questions prior to embarking on a major project, I can assure you that hiring Tad is the best bang for your buck you ll ever get. His quality and expertise is top notch. I hired him to paint our three-story home, after some contractors wouldn t even give me a bid for such a feat. Tad did not even bat an eye, and he had all of the equipment and know-how To complete the difficult project in a matter of a couple of weeks. He works from sun up to sundown. He didn t even come into use our restroom! He has a great personality- quiet but witty and smart. He went above and beyond, fixing things beyond the scope of the painting project when I d ask him about our water leakage and insects. He fixed Rotten boards before painting over them. He earned my trust, and I will contact Tad again for any home improvement project in the future!!"

"Tommy and his crew did a great job re-staining our cabin and deck. Tommy communicated throughout the planning and painting process, which was very appreciated. He sent before and after photos to me because I could not be on site to see how it was going. Great experience working with him throughout the process. Highly recommended!"

"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.
