"Finish Concepts arrived on time and finished in two days as agreed. They were very careful handling and protecting our home and furniture. The painting was excellent. The professional color consultant was extremely helpful in helping us with a color scheme for three rooms. I would recommend this company. Dan Bobrovsky Parma, Ohio"

"We live in a cedar sided, large 3 story home. From my research for this kind of siding we needed to use an acrylic solid color stain and it should be hand-brushed, not sprayed. However, spraying the cedar siding was the mode of operandi of most of the painting companies I interviewed. Michael Stahl of MDS Painting is not like the other painters we had estimates from. We were lucky to find him because his practices fit all our requirements. He hand brushes. He recommended the solid color stain and he was going to try to paint it this summer if our weather permitted. Other requirements that I was hoping for but couldn't attest to until the job was done was honesty, reliability and cleanup when the job was completed. The completed job is beautiful. He did a great job. I highly recommend MDS Painting. Michael uses top of the line paint/stain, he's reliable, conscientious, skilled, careful, neat and an all around nice guy. His payment method is fair and there were no additional costs. He sticks with his estimate. Generally, you get what you pay for. We got what we paid for and more. We've already lined him up to do an interior job for us and will gladly pass his name on to anyone that needs painting done."

"I had multiple rooms to be painted in my house. Anna and Gina were well versed in painting and painting products. They explained to me the difference between paints and stains. What paints hold up the best both inside and out. I was pleasantly surprised I would definitely refer them to friends and other people. Thank you for the great work Anna and Gina."

"I haven't reviewed that one because that was a disaster. The thing is I tried to get my money back through Angie's List, in the end Paul at Meistersinger actually did give me a paraded portion of my money back so I felt like in the end it was settled fairly so I don't really wanna like you know I don't want to generate the guy's reputation. He just wasn't very professional. I mean he was late the two days he was here, he ended up leaving early both days, he didn't call me to tell me he was gonna leave early on the second day, he just left me a note on my stairs. He didn't get a full room painted, he was very slow, he spilled paint, he cursed I mean he just didn't seem like a professional painter."

"Michael repaired a 1 sq.ft section in my ceiling in the dinette. The ceiling was opened up purposely to gain access to determine what was causing a water stain on that part of the ceiling. The leak was found and now I had to repair the hole in the ceiling. That's when I hired Michael and I'm glad I did. He did an outstanding drywall repair on my ceiling. He fitted and installed the new drywall section, repairing the hole and sealing it all up. He then put the top coat on and finished it up by making the pattern match exactly to the rest of the ceiling. It then dried overnight and his painter did the entire ceiling the next day. There is no way to tell there was ever a hole in my ceiling once the paint dried. Thanks so much Michael for the excellent work you did."
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.
