"Mark did a wonderful job with doing a stain on our front door. He was efficient and friendly. He communicated the steps he was taking and asked for our opinion when our input was needed (color, type of stain, etc.).He responded in a timely fashion to my inquires. The paint job changed the look of the house and made it look fresher. I would definitely hire again for future projects."

"James was outstanding and did everything he quoted and was on time for the quote, power washing and paint job. He was east to work with and even did more work than he quoted and save us from having to paint one wall ourselves. We did the lower part of the house and he did the upper parts, dormers and chimney. I only wish we had more painting needing to be done because I will be going back to him and in the future. I will definitely refer my family and friends to have James quite for their painting projects. A++++ in my book."

"From the first contact through Angi, and along every step of the process, this company was exceptional. Tony did a wonderful job staining my deck in two colors and balcony in one color. Communication with Tuvia was very easy and exceptionally professional. They were the highest bidder and worthy of the investment. I highly recommend them and will use them for any future painting project."

"This is the third time we've used Somerset Painting and I will continue to use them and recommend them to others. They first stained our banister, then painted our entire interior, and now our basement. We've had a different team of painters each time and each team was prompt, professional, performed quality work, and were trustworthy. We have been completely satisfied with each project and felt they were very fair with their pricing. Thank you Somerset Painting!"

"Doni actually painted our shed in the backyard. He arrived on time , was professional, and continued to work throughout the day. He didn't take any breaks as he felt he could finish in time to have a late lunch. He put 2 coats of paint on the shed. and filled in any areas that needed extra caulk. We are thrilled with the results; hope it will last a few years more. We would hire him again when we want the interior of the house painted. The price was fair and worth every dollar. We were impressed with his work ethic, desire to get the job done, and to please us."

"If you are considering taking bids from multiple painting companies, STOP RIGHT NOW and just hire Pro Monte Painting! The quality of the work by each of the SMEs (Patching/Sanding/Prep/Painting) is absolutely impeccable. When you hire Pro Monte you will experience top notch customer service and ongoing communication at all points of the process - you will never be in the dark waiting for a call or wondering what happens next and when - you will be in the "know" every step of the process. Each day the SME's showed up on time and were professional and friendly. I can't speak highly enough for the Pro Monte Painting team and would highly recommend them for your project."

FAQs for painting projects in Franklin, MI

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.
