"This is the 4th project we've used DaVinci for. Arrived for work exactly as scheduled just like previous times. Quality of work is top notch. Painted interior walls and ceiling perfectly. Painted wood vanity and it turned out better than expected. Helped us match existing paint without sample and it matched perfectly. Service is always very kind and trustworthy. Comes with our highest recommendation!"

"I would highly recommend Culver's Painting. Communication was excellent from start to finish so we knew what to expect and when. They painted our whole 3-story house and garage and finished very quickly. Any minor things we needed touched up were done immediately, and the crew that did the work was very pleasant and cleaned up so well. There was no mess left behind at all."

"Ramon and his crew did an amazing job painting our basement storage room. This is the second time we have hired Envision to do some painting for us and we are extremely happy how professional they are. Besides getting the job done on a timely manner they clean up so nice before they leave for the day. Ramon was right on how long the job would take and we are extremely happy how everything looks. We definitely will be using Envision for all our future projects. I highly recommend them and I suggest you hire them, you will not be sorry."

"The crew of Devon and Pierce were knowledgeable, pleasant and patient as I interrupted them with questions about the steps in the painting process. That was appreciated as much as the beautiful work completed. Dependable. Would use their service again as well as refer others to them."

"NJN was absolutely wonderful to work with. I live 1000 miles from Milwaukee and purchased a condo that was in desperate need of fresh paint! Nick was able to meet with my sister and view the property and give a fair quote. His quote was significantly less than what the realtor had given me (more than 1/2 price) and competitive with others I received in the area. He completed the entire space (1200 sq. ft + ceilings) in just about 5 days. I did not move here until March 3rd and I was very pleased with his work. If you are looking for honest, fair, quality painting please contact Nick Niemczyk at NJN Printing - you will not be disappointed!"

FAQs for painting projects in Germantown, 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.
