"Rodney is the owner of Morehouse Painting. He was on time for the initial walk through and provided a timely quote. He was able to start painting per my timeframe. Rodney and Jeff did an excellent job, They were on time every day. We were matching existing colors and they were right on with the paint colors. We have high ceilings in part of the house....no problem. We had numerous nail pops. Those were repaired properly and look great. They also caulked as necessary. The interior looks like new again. Morehouse Painting gives "attention to detail" a whole new meaning. They found and repaired areas I didn't even notice previously. The exterior painting was pretty routine. It was done well and looks great. I rarely write reviews. Morehouse Painting is #1 in my book. You can trust Rodney and Jeff to any of your painting requirements. And if you like baseball, classic rock and/or mushrooms, you will find a lot to talk about with them."

"Lucas was referred to me by another painting company that was too busy for my particular job. What a lucky break for me! Lucas quoted a very reasonable estimate, then followed through with an excellent painting job in a very timely manner, including thorough prep so that the paint only went where it was supposed to (unlike my last painting experience). I found Lucas to be professional, very knowledgeable about the process, efficient at painting, and very pleasant and personable. I highly recommend Lucas for any painting project you might have."

"I have used The Painting Group but personally and professionally for many different projects. Most recently the painted and stained the pavilion that covers our outdoor kitchen. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. Their prices are beyond reasonable. Their staff (looking at you, Bre! 😎) and owners are friendly and fantastic. We loved our experience with The Painting Group and we will continue to use them for all of our painting needs in the future!"

"Yovani and his team did a fantastic job. He painted the entire 1st and 2nd floor of our home in 4 days while we were away. Everything looks so great. Painting very professional. All rooms back in place including wall hangings before we returned. I highly recommend this team. They also painted and sealed our 83 year old brick home earlier in the summer."

"Amazing! Robert was very communicative and flexible. We wanted the front door and garage doors painted quickly for an upcoming home appraisal. In less than 2 weeks we went from initial contact to project complete. We’re already discussing him painting out trim later this year. Can’t wait to continue working with him!"

"Jeff kept his appointment for the estimate. He called to set the time to do the painting and showed up when he said he would. He did nice work and was able to charge less than his estimate. I would hire him for any future painting."

FAQs for painting projects in Lafayette, IN

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.
