"We had 2 bedrooms painted and they painting was completed in 2 days. The walls look great! All furniture was covered and patching was completed before painting began. All areas were completely cleaned up at the end of the day. We are very satisfied with the work. Eric and his crew were prompt, conscientious and demonstrated quality work. We would definitely recommend HPO Painting."

"Awesome experience; Jose was very responsive and showed us a lot of paint samples until we got exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time and finished early. His crew was hard working and very careful of not damaging anything. Cleaned up everything too. Will definitely use them again."

"I’ve worked with a lot of contractors, several different types of work, and none of them. Absolutely none of them took as much pride in their work and doing an excellent job. Not good. EXCELLENT. As the crew at Trinity Quality Paint. I’d recommend, hire again, and show their work off anytime to anyone."

"I highly recommend Francisco and his Excellence Painting team for any painting projects. Francisco just finished staining my back yard deck and it looks fantastic. I have received many compliments. His attention to detail and professionalism stood out. On top of it all, he is a great guy that puts customer service first. I look forward to working with him again."

"No need to look any further for a handyman service, just hire Finished Looks you will be glad you did. These guys have 30 years experience under their tool belts and they know what they are talking about. When nobody and I mean nobody would install my drip edge extenders and my Rainhandler system they came with a smile. They also corrected other issues with my roof and replaced the cedar siding and stained it. I have no more leaks in my foyer! Job well done and I would hire this crew to do all repairs in the future. Great to work with, fair price and quality work, what more could you ask for. Oh yes, they even cleaned up the job sight."

"The quote I received was just a little bit higher than the others I received but their reviews were so great, I just felt like it was worth it to go with them. I'm sure our project was on the simple side for them - we had a curved TV wall mounted with wires hidden in the wall and an additional electric outlet added. John was easily able to accommodate an appointment that worked with our schedule and he and Sean did a great job with the installation. Additionally, we had to take the TV off the mount the following week when painting and they were easily able to walk us through what we needed to do over the phone. Overall very happy not only with the project itself but with their customer service as well. Would definitely recommend!"

FAQs for painting projects in Richmond, 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.
