"Working with Steve was a joy!!!  He is truly a professional and a gem to find.  I would definitely ask him to do future work in our home and recommend his work to family and friends.
I contacted Steve for a painting consultation and he arrived on time to quote the work a few days later.  Steve struck me as a professional, friendly and very skilled painter.  He asked appropriate questions and provided me with a detailed, itemized quote including paint, supplies and labor prior to leaving our home that evening.  
We scheduled the work a few weeks later and Steve came out to the house the week prior to go over last minute details with me including specifics about colors and which hardware would go back on the walls when the painting was finished.  When Steve left I was confident that the work would be done the way we wanted.
Steve performed the job while we were out of town the following week.  He was trust-worthy and cared for our home as we would have.  He even brought in packages the UPS person left on the front steps.  Upon arriving home, nearly half of our house had been re-painted to excellent standards.  He was attuned to details and made sure all the paint lines were precise.  I am a perfectionist and was very happy with the work Steve did for us.  Steve will be our first call for future painting projects!
Thank you Steve!

"I highly recommend Priceless Painting! Nathan and Aaron are meticulous in their work and so is their very professional crew. They are fussier about their work than I am. They did an amazing job power washing and preparing the house. They masked off everything that wasn't to be sprayed. They did a remarkable job spraying and there were no drips or over-sprays. The house looks absolutely fantastic!!! I am going to have them come back to paint the garage and entry doors, because there's no way I could make them look as good as Priceless Painting can. I rate them at 6 stars!"

"Conrad and his crew showed up on time, gave suggestions on what needed to be done, and best paint to use. They cleaned up everyday before they left, so I never had to worry about living around the areas being painted. I had my new house completely painted inside, plus the kitchen cabinets and a buffet from Craigslist we bought. He made sure they matched and went the extra mile to make sure everything was completed and I was happy with the way the paint looked. I highly recommend them as you won’t be disappointed."

"Revel power-washed our entire house, painted all the exterior trim and garage doors, and stained our deck, all in under two days. All surfaces were scraped and prepped before painting. They even matched the color of our siding when buying paint for the garage doors. Crew members were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!"

"Professional painting with a quick response time, attention to detail, and a fair price. Victor and Edwin painted my house to prepare for market and did a beautiful job. They walked through the house with me, gave a fair quote; and did the work the same day. Highly recommend. Top notch customer service and communication and superior quality work."

FAQs for painting projects in Lake Elmo, MN

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.
