"This is the 4th project we've used DaVinci for. Arrived for work exactly as scheduled just like previous times. Quality of work is top notch. Painted interior walls and ceiling perfectly. Painted wood vanity and it turned out better than expected. Helped us match existing paint without sample and it matched perfectly. Service is always very kind and trustworthy. Comes with our highest recommendation!"

"We highly recommend Five Star Painting! Everyone that we had contact with was professional, friendly, efficient, and responsive. We had ceilings and walls in 4 rooms and 3 hallways painted and they finished in 1.5 days. And it all looks so good! Very reasonable pricing. Meticulous work. We will definitely use them for any future painting needs."

"Wow, Culver's Painting came highly recommended and they painted the entire interior of our home, including the paneling and cabinets in the family room. We could not be more pleased with their quality work and fair pricing. They painted our home as if it was their own, great attention to detail, great staff on the job, nice guys, very polite. Our home is in Brookfield, I'm a 40 year resident here and a Realtor for over 30 years, so I know a lot of contractors and Culver's Painting is #1. Honestly: "The value of our home has increased at least $25,000" and I should know, I'm an experienced Realtor and I know this market. Thank you to Josh and the guys.

"Had new kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts supplied by me painted by Culver's painting. Quote was fast, informative and professionally done, appreciated the onsite personal touch. Complementary color design expert was a huge help to us to decide on our final color of the cabinets and kitchen wall, Debra was great. Scheduling was very easy and personable. the cabinet doors and drawer fronts were painted to my expectations and delivered by the actual person who painted them. Overall well done painting experience."

FAQs for painting projects in Pewaukee, WI

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.
