"My wife and I knew we were going to hire Antonio and AM Painting within minutes of meeting him for our quote. He was very engaged and even gave us recommendations on how we should go about completing our project. After we hired AM Painting, they were very responsive to questions and the communication was excellent throughout the entire process. The crew came in, did an amazing job, and was very professional. We have found our painting company for every job that comes up, I highly recommend hiring AM Painting. Thank you Antonio, it was a pleasure to work with you, you and your team did an amazing job."

"The painting job went very well. Alejandro contacted us within a day of our request for estimates, came within a reasonable time to look at the job and quickly provided an estimate. He made good observations and asked good questions during his visit, told us what to expect and how he would address problems. He was punctual and communicated well throughout the week it took to complete the work and was consistently meticulous with prep and painting. He carefully moved and covered all furnishings and cleaned up after each day’s work. He is pleasant to work with and responsive to questions or suggestions. All around, a job well done that transformed our home!"

"My husband and I recently had our deck, shutters, and door repainted. Calderon Painting did an outstanding job and I'm very happy with the results. They charged a reasonable price and executed the painting with extreme care. They were on time, professional, and Lucy (owner) was very responsive. I definitely recommend them and would use them again!"

"We used A. Allied International Epoxy for both of our restaurants and it was one of the best upgrades we’ve made. The floors came out excellent! Clean, seamless, and extremely easy to maintain, which is huge in our business. Pricing was competitive, but what really stood out was how fast and efficiently they got the job done without cutting corners. Highly recommend."

FAQs for painting projects in Highland Park, 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.
