"I recently had Hello Painting paint the exterior of my home, and I must say they did a phenomenal job. David was wonderful to work with while painting my home. Marina, David, and Vlad at the main office were also great to work with. I requested a specific time to get the painting done by and they delivered. Highly recommend this company the next time you need painting done to your home. Thank you guys."

"I have nothing but good things to say about Rubumco Painting. We found them to be prompt, responsive, friendly, careful and thorough. We have a lot of wood fencing on landscaped acreage. Although we had trimmed back plants from touching the fence, these guys were so careful about plantings, draping them in coverings for protection. Part of the fence and garden area have panels of galvanized hog wire with wood trim, and I watched as they painstakingly masked off the hog wire everywhere so it didnâ t get painted. Amazing! The guys also stained a massive cedar arbor on the front of the house. Thank goodness they questioned the color I had chosen, and showed me the actual paint stain color. In reality, the color I picked was a garish orange! The guys were so patient with me and really helped to find the color I was going for. This is not our first time using Rubumco, as they also painted our homeâ s exterior, as well as the interior, several years ago. And Iâ m sure we will use them again on any future jobs. You get what you pay for: they are not the cheapest, but they are reasonable. You are paying for a quality job, customer service, and the knowledge Rubumco brings to the table! They just do it right!"

"Miguel was extremely professional contractor. The quality of his work is perfect. He goes above and beyond. I had other quotes and they where ridiculous. he was available when I would call with questions. I will hopefully have him to paint the rest of inside home winter. He is extremely busy but we live in Washington hard to determine outside paint days this. Miquel does his best to paint outside on days he knows it will not rain. Grateful to find someone you truly can rely to be reliable and do a great job. Northwest Accurate painting. Thankful Tami Northup"

"We got three estimates and although Summit's was not the lowest it was competitive and bar far the most comprehensive and detailed. After selecting Summit, Stuart the owner, worked closely with us to ensure we had a successful result. He met with us twice prior to the project to help select paint and confirm our expectations were aligned with the plan. During the project his team was hard working, helpful and courteous. Stuart checked in regularly and when we noticed minor damage to our gutter as a result of a ladder he checked it out and agreed to take care of it right away. Following the completion of the project we walked through it together and his team did a thorough job on touch up. We'd 100% hire Stuart and his team for future projects. We hope to use them for interior painting this winter."

"These guys are great! I have a few cabinet doors that needed to be painted to finish up a kitchen cabinet refacing project we started before we moved into our condo. We reached out to multiple people to get a quote for painting just a few cabinet doors. We were on a budget, and I didn't think we'd be able to get the work done until we could save up more, but these guys are so nice that they offered to work with us on our budget - it truly felt like a Christmas miracle (I may have teared up, it was so kind)! They did a great job painting the cabinets and turned them around in just a couple of days, even though I told them they could take their time. In the future, we hope to repaint all the walls in our home, and I will reach out to Color Cat Painting when the time comes!"

"Jeff Finrow and team did an outstanding job painting our home in Lake Stevens. Jeff's initial survey of our home was thorough and the estimate he provided was fair. The painting included repairing/replacing some damaged siding...and staining the front porch. Masterbrush is an awesome contractor. Their work quality is exceptional. Their customer service and responsiveness are excellent. I recommend these professionals highly."

FAQs for painting projects in Lake Stevens, WA

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.
