"Lee was a true professional who went above above and beyond to transform our main floor, hallway and kitchen. He is an exceptional craftsman that addressed all the challenges of painting twelve foot ceiling and large windows without hesitation. Additionally, Lee also painted a nine foot entry door that required a lot of attention, which turned out beautiful. We strongly recommend Lee without hesitation for any painting job. HIRE HIM!"

"I felt this owner and staff were very professional, friendly, and did quality work. I have vaulted ceilings in the living room area of my condo and especially appreciate how well this area was done. Accent walls look great and my kitchen looks so much brighter. I was surprised at the pricey cost (which was thoroughly discussed and agreed upon beforehand). But, this is the first time I had others do painting since I am now disabled. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for painting projects in Lead, SD

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.
