"We were searching for a paint contractor with experience locally. Our home is over 110 years old, and a contributing property in a historic district. We had a specific vision on what we wanted done. After obtaining multiple interview and bids from contractors, we “connected” with Melin, as he shared our vision. They were meticulous with attention to details in the prep work, and exacting with executing our paint scheme. The team treated our house like their own. They were respectful and responsive during the work. The results far exceeded our expectations!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and would definitely will hire the team again."

"Esther Zehr replied within 3 hours from my posting asking for a painter. She was courteous and professional in our first meeting on the phone. She made me feel like I could rely on her to get the job done. I was a manager or Supervisor for forty years so I can read people well. She made me feel I could trust her. I described what I needed done and she submitted an estimate I thought was reasonable, so I made arrangements to get the job completed. I had 3 bedrooms and kitchen cabinets done. They sprayed two coats on the cabinets and did a combination of brushes, rollers and spray in the bedrooms. The bedrooms turned good and the kitchen was spectacular. I would highly recommend Esther and her crew to anyone"

"listened to questions and ideas that i had, offered info on colors and took into consideration what effect i was trying to achieve and gave advice that was very helpful (i found choosing paint colors overwhelming - they were significant in narrowing down colors to achieve what i wanted, not just what they thought). they didn't make me feel rushed or pressured for decisions needed. they accommodated me in last minute changes for paint color, even in the morning before they were coming over to paint. i especially appreciated having the cracks, nail pops and other minor holes plastered and sanded prior to painting. that was a plus (as opposed to just painting over those types of imperfections). willingness to move furniture before and afterwards was an important thing to me. personable and professional (almost rare to have with any businesses now a days). overall not only good workers who took their time, but also did beautiful job. want to mention that not only did they take care of painting (ceiling, walls, doors, crown molding) but they put up 2 ceiling medallions (they had to take down 1 ceiling chandelier for one of the medallions and put up a new light fixture/chandelier for the 2nd medallion). look forward to having them do more painting and other jobs in the near future. found them comfortable to work with"

FAQs for painting projects in Leo, 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.
