"I highly recommend Juan and his crew. They painted my garage and 2 story home. Juan and his crew were prompt, polite, very professional. They answered all my questions and as they worked, they addressed all the details of the project, as we had discussed. They kept their work area clean as they painted and cleaned up the work area completely when they were finished each day. They appropriately protected areas and items near the painting that they were not painting. Juan and his crew kept me up to date with the project as it progressed. Juan and his crew were a pleasure to work with."

"Chad, Jacob and Rick did an excellent job at our home. Not only were they professional and on time, but they also put trimming on our door, plastered a hole in the ceiling and took care of the other issues they discovered prior to painting. They were very accommodating to our schedule and finished the project in a timely manner. My husband and I were very pleased with Five Star Painting and we plan to use their services in the future."

Customers say: Quality work

"I would absolutely recommend TRM painting! After I requested a quote, Ryan contacted me within minutes to schedule an estimate. After choosing to go with TRM Ryan again contacted me within minutes to give me dates they were available to begin the work. I couldn't believe how quickly they worked. I had requested a quote and had the work being done all within one week! The day the work was scheduled Ryan and his crew showed up promptly at the time we discussed and began working immediately. We had most of the first floor of our house painted including a two story entryway and not only were they fast to complete the work, they did not skimp on the quality of work whatsoever. Anytime I had questions Ryan was very helpful and responded immediately. Without a doubt I would recommend TRM Painting and I would use them in the future. They did a beautiful job!"

FAQs for painting projects in Frankfort, 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.
