"Professional painting with a quick response time, attention to detail, and a fair price. Victor and Edwin painted my house to prepare for market and did a beautiful job. They walked through the house with me, gave a fair quote; and did the work the same day. Highly recommend. Top notch customer service and communication and superior quality work."

"Tyler with just walls was one of the lower bids we had to paint our new home walls and some pillars, along with staining our doors. He was also the most curteous and responsive to our desires. I also appreciate how kind he was to my daughter and fiancee. I will use them again for any future jobs."

"Painting Bros. Is EXCELLENT!! Ali was thorough, detail-oriented and made my house look beautiful. He is a top-notch professional who is a master of his craft. I am so happy I hired him and couldn’t have asked for a better job done or friendly experience. I shopped around for the best price with several other painting companies and Painting Bros. Was by far the most economical. Ali went out of his way to give me a deal to paint an extra room, closet and ceiling. Thank you Painting Bros. You are seriously the BEST hands-down!! Hire Painting Bros. And you’ll get a BEAUTIFUL JOB DONE!!! P.S. can’t wait for them to come and do my flooring. Thank you.."

"It was great to work with a good owner-operator like Richard. He painted the entire interior of our house and garage - a big job - and was always on time and spot-on with his staging as we continued to live in the house. He made a great suggestion on our paint color, solving our biggest concern on getting our house ready for sale. What really blew me away was his creative handling of some special issues I had including water stains and other issues that had accumulated over my 27 years in this home. I would highly recommend Richard for any painting job."

FAQs for painting projects in Owatonna, MN

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.
