"Eric's team did a great job painting the interior of our home. His painter was on time and courteous throughout the painting process. Painting supplies were kept neat on a daily basis so as not to disturb our home. Eric was easy to get in touch with, listened to any of our concerns, and gave great feedback on our paint choices. We would definitely hire Eric again and would not hesitate to recommend his services."

"We are returning customers of Brian Mull Painting and have been SO happy with the work they've done! We just changed the color of our main room, it was a darker blue and we had him paint over in SW Repose Gray. Although he didn't mention it I am sure it was NOT an easy job to paint over all that blue, and it looks gorgeous. They also did trim painting and touchups in the rest of the house. Brian and his team have a great work ethic, pay close attention to detail, and he was also very reasonable with his price for the job. Would highly recommend Brian Mull Painting- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way!"

"Our ceilings were painted in our kitchen, family room and entry way/hallway. Angel was careful to cover all surfaces of woodwork and furniture, to protect from splatters. 2 coats were painted where needed and the work took less time than expected. We're very satisfied with he job, and Angel and his helper tolerated our dog needing to know what's going on. Angel kept us informed of the progress during the painting. We highly recommend Trinity and will use them again if needed."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"We had a great experience working with Brian and his team from start to finish! Brian was very responsive and came out to provide us an estimate for our exterior paint project right away. He had excellent communication and kept us informed concerning our project start date. From the day they arrived at our home, the entire team displayed professional and pride in their work. Dave, Dave, James, Jack and Nick worked diligently for two weeks power washing, caulking, repairing rot, painting and staining our entire home and deck. They had exceptional work ethic and treated our home with respect, cleaning up each day and working with care. It was a pleasure to have them work on our home and I would recommend Brian and his entire team to anyone!"

"Miguel did a remarkable job painting the south side of our house. His preparation was unparalleled, and his detail in painting was beyond our expectations. We were so impressed with his work that we hired him to stain our deck. Again, he did a superb job."

"Sometimes getting quotes on large jobs like exterior house staining/painting can be difficult and exhausting. Pro Painting & Restoration is definitely the place to go!! . From start to finished product, I can tell you that I honestly would give them a 10 if the scale went that high. It is everything I read about when reading reviews and then some! thank you so much for a fantastic job on a cedar siding house with exterior woodwork that needed to be done."

FAQs for painting projects in Lake In The Hills, 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.
