"We have done several painting jobs with Jorge and would hire him again in the future! Very detailed, trustworthy and knowledgeable about finishes and products to use for your projects. Also, very responsive to calls and text messages and shows up ready every time we schedule work. All the painting work that Jorge has done for us, interior and exterior, looks fantastic."

"I wanted to get my house painted, wood stained and a couple leaks in the ceiling fixed. I reached out on Angi where they recommended MNM. I'm really happy that I decided to go with them. They have really good reviews and I saw some of their pictures on their website. Guillermo was super responsive and they started the project within days. I've lived in this house for 10 years and have done nothing with these walls so they had a lot of work to do. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome. They transformed this house. Guillermo and Sammy were both so kind and professional. If I had anything that I noticed that needed a touch-up Guillermo came back in about a week and fixed everything. Very trustworthy, Great price and extremely professional. They will be my go-to for any painting projects moving forward. Thank you both so much for all your hard work!"

"I recently hired Powers Painting and Decorating to do some interior painting in my parents home. They painted the kitchen and bedrooms, and I must say their work was phenomenal! The team was punctual, paid attention to detail, and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. They also made sure to clean up after themselves every day. I would give them 5 stars for their professionalism and exceptional service. I highly recommend Powers Painting and Decorating!"

I started painting when I was 17 years old. My brother and I painted a whole condo when COVID hit, and that's what put food on the table. Even though it was a hard task to accomplish, I was able to watch and learn from a lot of people. Later, I entered into a fast-paced painting company with jobs brought by CertaPro. I learned the good and bad things about painting and drywall. Throughout the years, I have learned that my customers are the very first thing that comes to mind when I do a job for them. Quality goes a long way.

"I've known Darren Tyda for about 15 years. Overthe years he was not only a loyal, highly competent and hard-working employee, but he became a trusted part of our family. He started working as our property manager at 312 & 111 Woodley Road in Winnetka in November, 2014. Our grounds were over 2 acres and he oversaw over 20,000 sq ft of living space. He formally worked 40 hours per week, but was salaried so worked much more;even weekends and while we were away. He managed all our subs (HVAC, Crestron AV system, landscaping, electrical, alarm system, cable/DTV, Cellar Tracker, etc). Darren is much more than a coordinator of subs. He's extremely handy! Painting, staining, basic plumbing and electrical, manual/heavy labor, etc. If he didn't know how to do something, he would take the time to research the problem and either figure it out or outsource to the right person. He treated my pocket book as if it were his own, so I always knew that he would find the best value. In addition to property manager duties, he was my personal trainer. He also worked with my wife and kids. Post COVID we took the decision to leave Illinois and move to Park City, UT in 2021. Darren assisted in our transition here, and formally stopped employment in 2022. fI not for our move, Darren would still work for us. He made my life easier so Icould focus on my manyinterests. We miss him and all he did for us. Please feel free to contact me for any further questions. +1-312-343-1357."

FAQs for painting projects in Manhattan, 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.
