"A1 Stellar Painting painted the exterior of our home and WOW!! Before they were even finished our neighbors were telling us how amazing it looks. We are getting the home prepared to sell but now we don't even want to. It looks like a brand new home! The guys were very friendly, professional and worked around challenging weather conditions to get this done in a timely manner for us. We recommend A1 Stellar for all of your painting needs!"

"Painter Mike completed staining our outside wooden deck and stair entrance as promised both quickly and efficiently. After giving us a very reasonable proposal he was able to start on time and finish as agreed upon. He made suggestions we liked and clean up was thorough. Mike is very neat and did an excellent job. We will hire him again when we need painting done."

"We were very pleased with the work completed by Interior Innovations. They were able to make minor repairs to walls, prep and paint 2 bathrooms, a large family room and foyer. As well as prep and paint exterior windows & door trim, porch overhangs & posts, and front & back entry doors. They also replaced damaged wood panels on an exterior lean to building and painted. Ernesto was very easy to work with and communicated well with us throughout the project. The team was hard working and very detail oriented. They cleaned up work areas at the end of each day while the project was in progress. And completed the work in the timeframe estimated. We would hire Interior Innovations again for any future painting needs."

FAQs for painting projects in Mackey, 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.
