"MyM Painting (M&M is the correct name) promptly answered my request for an estimate. They were so pleasant and professional. I hired them that day. We set a date for the job and they arrived exactly on time. They painted our kitchen, living room, foyer and a hallway. And we are completely satisfied! We are so satisfied that we will have them paint our master bedroom in the fall. Because of our satisfaction we will have them paint any other jobs in the future. We are so happy we found them!"

"Shane was excellent at communicating with us through the whole process. He was the only painter that wanted to actually come out and look at the job before he started. He washed very neat, clean, and he knows the paint business. We are hoping to have our living room and kitchen painted soon, and will definitely hire Shane again."

"Esther Zehr replied within 3 hours from my posting asking for a painter. She was courteous and professional in our first meeting on the phone. She made me feel like I could rely on her to get the job done. I was a manager or Supervisor for forty years so I can read people well. She made me feel I could trust her. I described what I needed done and she submitted an estimate I thought was reasonable, so I made arrangements to get the job completed. I had 3 bedrooms and kitchen cabinets done. They sprayed two coats on the cabinets and did a combination of brushes, rollers and spray in the bedrooms. The bedrooms turned good and the kitchen was spectacular. I would highly recommend Esther and her crew to anyone"

FAQs for painting projects in Fort Wayne, IN

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.
