"All the people I met listened to my needs. They managed to get a pasta sauce stain out of my ceiling! I am really glad to see that gone. The painters were both professional and meticulous. My ceilings have never looked so good. We have already started talking about painting the rest of the house and will call Brian and his team to do the job. Thanks for the great service!"

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"What a great job!, My deck looks absolutely beautiful. Antonio, Juan and Edgar (a wonderful family business) stripped, power washed and sanded my cedar deck down to Bare-wood and replaced all the bad wood. They stained all the railing with three coats of white stain and the deck floor and railing tops with 3 coats of dark stain. Juan designed a beautiful privacy wall.. Great care was taken to protect my patio furniture in Grill and house. I plan on having them back to paint my house in the spring! I highly recommend JM painting and remodeling!"

"Jimmy, Ken & Jason we're hired to paint my ceilings and 2 story foyer. They did a fantastic job. Looks beautiful. Everything was spotless when they left. They even put a light fixture in my ceiling and painted a extra wall for me. Just to be nice. Wasn't charged. My husband came home & asked if I brought the garbage cans in. I said no, must have been one of the guys. Like who does things like this??? They do!!!! I can't thank them enough. Great Guys. I will recommend & use them again.... Thank you Jimmy"

FAQs for painting projects in Huntley, 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.
