"Debra, Dave, and Mike did a wonderful job. I cannot thank them enough for the terrific job they did. Not only did they remove the wallpaper in the entry way, hallway, living room, and loft, they also made sure the walls were repaired, smoothed, and ready for painting. The result was absolute perfection. I would highly recommend Two Sisters Painting for wallpaper removal and interior painting projects. In fact, I am working with them to have the same work performed on my master bedroom and bathroom. Thanks again, Debra, Dave and Mike!"

"We have hired Custom Colors for two different painting jobs in the past 7 years. They are very professional. They have a crew that arrived on time every day, worked surprisingly quickly, and kept the work areas clean. They kept us informed throughout the process. Their bid was very competitive, and there were no surprises on price or timeline...the job cost what they said it would cost, and they started and finished on time based on their original estimate. Overall - this company is very professional and does excellent work. Also, the owner (Mark) is very visible and accessible throughout the project. We will continue to hire them in the future.

"Fidel and his crew were prompt, professional, protected my stuff, took measures to keep dust down, and cleaned up behind themselves. Took 3 guys 7 hours to do some significant drywall work in master, full paint master, full paint 10x13 br with 15’ ceilings and prime and paint my guest path ceiling with water damage. Highly recommend."

"Due to favorable weather Liedel’s got started on our job earlier than expected and it progressed quickly. It took about three and a half days, in all. They were very professional and made our house look like a brand new house. Even the neighbors were impressed! I should mention that we had them paint white all the trim that was previously brown, so the price we paid included two coats of paint for he trim. I’ll try to upload a “before” photo as well as After.” At the end of the painting, Benjamin And Joey asked us to inspect the house with them. I couldn’t find a fault anywhere, but they found several places they weren’t happy with, so they fixed them. It’s nice to know your painter pays attention to detail! We have some interior work that needs to be done, and we will be calling Liedel’s for that."

"Costello Painting did an amazing job! Hugh and his brother were friendly, professional and super easy to work with. Early in the project, they had painted some of the railing and we didn't like the color we had chosen from the brochure once it was on the deck; they went back to get different paint twice until we were satisfied with the color - no problem. It was almost 90 and humid (of course) today and they still seemed like they were having fun staining our deck in the hot sun! Cleaned up after and even left us with some extra stain for down the road. These guys clearly love what they do and I would hire them again in a second! A+"

FAQs for painting projects in Lawrence, 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.
