"Went very well. The team was punctual and reliable. Also, they came with a full crew and, although I doubted they could get it done in one day, they did. Additionally, they did a nice job on a request to paint a couple areas of floor + the basement steps, which turned out very nice. Would use again."

"We hired Daniel Green to paint our back deck. Daniel and his crew are very personable and professional. The work was meticulous and it was completed in a timely manner. He will be the first person we call if we have any additional painting projects. I highly recommend his company."

"Scheduling was easy, I did everything over email. It was a little while before the crew came out - in 2 trips, one was for power washing prep, and 1 for the actual painting, but this was due to weather. The power washing I assumed would just be of the surfaces to be painted, but it looked like he removed the mold/mildew on the back siding of my house which was a pleasant surprise. The painting crew came about a week later and worked from 9am to about 7pm, completing the job. It turned out really nice, the wood was caulked and the painting made it look new again. I have no complaints and I'm happy with the results."

"Their work was beautiful. They did a great job. Tony was the one I speak for. He was excellent, nice, and did a walk around the time that works for me. When I called up and asked for an estimate, I was not ready for them to do the work yet and I just called them on the time when I was ready for them to paint. They did a beautiful and excellent job. I would recommend them to my family and friends."

"I recently hired Professional Painters of Michigan to fix a severely damaged door frame in my home. The frame had huge gashes and looked beyond repair. To my surprise, they worked their magic and made it look brand new. The quality of their work is outstanding, and they were professional and efficient throughout the process. I highly recommend Professional Painters of Michigan for any painting or repair needs. They exceeded my expectations and delivered excellent results!"

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.
