"WOW 1 Day Painting Metro Detroit did an excellent job. The only challenge was Mother Nature... Jason was very good to work with on scheduling as we had to postpone a couple times due to poor weather, but it worked out well. Daniel and his team did a stellar job and clean up. I am very please and so happy..! I highly recommend WOW Painting and will use these folks again for other projects."

"We have hired Woodbrook Painting several times over the last seven years. Our most recent project was painting our kitchen cabinets, we are delighted with the outcome. Our 25 year old cabinets look like brand new and like they just came in from the factory. Keith, Ryan and the crew were professionals from beginning to end and got the job done on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to our routine. We will be hiring Woodbrook again soon."

"The service provided by Ed Davis and his crew was very good. Ed gave me a comprehensive, thorough estimate. He was good at explaining paint choices, coverage to be expected per gallon, and how much paint he would leave me for future touch ups. His crew (Jesse and Chris) worked well together: they masked off areas to prevent overspray, and powerwashed my house beforehand. They worked with me on areas I noted for caulking, and even took a few hits from some gutter-dwelling wasps. The final finish is beautiful. I'm very pleased with their work."

"Gt Lakes Building Services did a very good job painting the trim on my house. They were punctual on the day they were scheduled to be here. The Great Lakes crew worked continuously until the job was done and cleaned up after themselves. The skilled painters left good coverage and very straight lines on old boards that badly needed paint. They repaired some very rotten boards on an alcove/porch entrance, replaced them with composite boards, and painted them on all sides--no chance of dry rot there. Thanks for the good job! They have many pictures on Instagram of their past jobs. They know how to paint!"

"We had Doug and his crew re-grout cracks in our shower and they were phenomenal. We had Doug come for an estimate and he was very knowledgeable and thorough. He even researched the brand of our old grout that was used (previous owners) so he was familiar with the suite of products and purchased additional products (colorant and sealant) for us to use after they re-grouted. The new grout and caulk look great and he walked us through the application of the additional products and even offered to assist with any questions as we used them. Doug worked with us to make the project cost effective and was in continuos communication with us regarding the project between the time of the estimate until after the project was complete. I would highly recommend Wolverine Custom Painting for any home projects, they go above and beyond. They also do more than painting :)."

FAQs for painting projects in Lakeland, MI

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.
