"We have used Josh Davis service twice. (1) For power washing and weather painting our wooden deck (2) Clean up landscape and cut an unwanted tree near exterior wall. Josh was very professional and suggested the correct cleaning and painting option for the deck. On both the jobs, he was very reasonably priced and the job was really well done. He responded promptly and finished the job on scheduled time. I would definitely hire him again."

What makes me different to any other painter out there? \nWell..For starters, i dont do this for the love of money. I do this because i LOVE doing it. Painting for me, is like stepping into a whole other world. One full of creativity, art and endless ideas. I get sucked into every project i do, out of passion, not greed. Im hard working, a slight perfectionist and i just absolutely love making peoples home visions and ideas come to life. There's no better feeling in the world than giving someone else joy.. Not only do i go above and beyond but i do it at a price well within your budget. i fully got you covered with my quality of prep-work, ability to cut an edge, quality rollers and brushes, quality of priming, and finishing with 2 coats of paint, instead of 1 along with the quality of the paint.\n

"We asked to have our lake cottage rental painted. We were advised that scraping and priming was need to assure the paint would adhere properly and retain the paint over time. We appreciated the advice. The work was completed efficiently and we love the freshly painted look of our lake cottage rental."

FAQs for painting projects in Postville, IA

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.
