"Dustin offered us a fair and competitive quote to paint the interior of our house. He was responsive via phone and text. We had a few reattacks after his team was complete (some missed spots and a miscommunication about one of the rooms) -- he remedied the issues promptly. The painting was done professionally and attention to detail, particularly around the baseboards and ceiling, was great overall. Our house looks very sharp! Thanks, Dustin."

"Excellent. Serious pealing required considerable work, often at difficult to reach second story. Job was done well. Akena's charge for all work was exceptionally reasonable. Parenthetically, in addition to painting skill, it should be mentioned that he was professionally knowledgeable, for example, he determined why paint had pealed and suggested how to prevent future erosion. Mr. Akema was found to be a particularly friendly individual with whom we enjoyed doing business. We recommend him and his company without reservations."

"Project went very well. Beau was very friendly and did an excellent job on our interior. In addition to painting, we had some fairly large holes in our walls from hanging shelves and Beau also patched these for us (they looked as good as new). Our 10 year old house looks like new again, I will definitely reach out to Beau again for our future painting needs."

"Tim and his crew at Westwood
Services really helped us out of a tight spot when we bought our new home. We
bought our current house, and moving day was in two weeks. We thought that gave
us time to repaint the interior of our house as the colors were not to our
taste. We came in and repainted the master bedroom, when we realized that we would
not be able to do the rest before moving day. I had already contracted with
Westood Services to clean the carpets, and when I found out that they also do
interior paint, I called them to set up an appointment. Tim, the new owner, was
very friendly and professional.  He made
time to get to our house right away, and they repainted almost the entire
interior of our house in a little over three days! I know one of their painters
worked at least one twelve hour day to get the job done in time. The house
looks great, and give the time frame, they did a really good job. Given a
little more time, I'm sure all of the little things, like putting back the
outlet and vent covers would have been done. The paint just needed some extra
time to dry. I would recommend Westwood Services to anyone who needs carpet
cleaning, or interior painting done.

"The painting was to be completed in July but was delayed until August.  Unfortunately,  I had deck work scheduled for the week they started painting which caused confusion and further delay.  The workers were courteous and cleaned up after themselves.  From what I can determine they did a good job.  They did have to return to repaint the garage doors to match the siding  as the doors were painted the trim color.  I'm not quite sure the paint color matches the siding."

"We had Mighty Blue clean our carpets about a month ago and they did an excellent job!  My carpets are noticeably cleaner than before!  They were professional and reasonably priced and I highly recommend Mighty Blue.

FAQs for painting projects in Malmo, NE

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.
