"The estimator came out on time and was patient with my many details. When the job was scheduled, they accommodated my start time of 9 am, and then worked very quietly for many hours. Within 2 days, the entire project was finished. There was not a single spot of paint to clean up and they were very respectful of my house. I will definitely call them again and highly recommend this company."

"Casey did an excellent job, as always. There was a lot of prep work to be done to patch holes from electrical work and fill cracks in plaster molding around the LR ceiling. The spaces have been literally transformed! The cut lines between walls and ceiling, and between walls and woodwork are perfect. Cracks are undetectable. Not a drop of paint anywhere. Woodwork on 5 windows, window seat and book shelves in LR look fantastic. The crew works well together, tidy up, and pack up their gear at each day's end . Casey has done a number of painting/staining projects here over the years and never disappoints."

"I hired these professionals to paint all the units in my apartment building. They replaced all the plaster, painted all the cabinets and walls, replaced the flooring and put new vinyl, and replaced all the doors. Everyone was very kind, professional, friendly, and efficient. I highly recommend Amazon Painting Plus for your painting needs, and they do more than just painting! You will not be disappointed!"

"I hired Frida to fix long neglected walls for an office and power room, both were previously painted by a homeowner and needed a significant amount of rework. Frida did an excellent job restoring the walls and painting our quite detailed trim and accents in both rooms. Friday was very detail oriented and provided good feedback and guidance during planning to helping me choose what degree of restoration she would do. I would definitely recommend working with Frida for your painting project."

"They started the work and did it really good for the first two days, but the third  and fourth day it seems to me that they were running out of time and were working in a rush, so the work in the third floor was not the same quality than the first and second floor the first two days: a clean, careful and nice painting. I can not say the same about the painting in the third floor: too many details, a lamp hanging in the bathroom, power and light switches painted (which means they did not take them out), my wood floor splattered with paint. Maybe they estimated wrongly the time they needed  to have all the house painting. Other than that, they did a good job.

FAQs for painting projects in Lincoln Park, IL

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.
