"Mark and Nick were great! They did a thorough walkthrough both before and after and made sure everything we wanted done was done to our liking. They were very clear in communicating what their plan was and when they planned on doing the work. The work completed was top quality and I will be reaching out again if we need any more painting/staining/ finishing done. Would highly recommend their services."

"I had Clean Cut Painting paint several rooms in my house, and the experience was excellent. The painters were friendly, detail-oriented, and completed the work neatly. The colors look beautiful, and the walls have a smooth, professional finish. They also cleaned up everything after the project was finished. I would definitely recommend their painting services to others."

Customers say: Quick response

"Hiring contractors can be stressful but EA painting has made this a good experience from everything from: quality, cost, professionalism, timely, etc. They arrived on time, cost was very competitive (we priced out with four painters), quality of work was great and they were very respectful and nice. They are finishing up with our job tomorrow and I am already thinking of having them paint additional work for us in future. Would recommend and use them again. Thanks!"

"My wife and I knew we were going to hire Antonio and AM Painting within minutes of meeting him for our quote. He was very engaged and even gave us recommendations on how we should go about completing our project. After we hired AM Painting, they were very responsive to questions and the communication was excellent throughout the entire process. The crew came in, did an amazing job, and was very professional. We have found our painting company for every job that comes up, I highly recommend hiring AM Painting. Thank you Antonio, it was a pleasure to work with you, you and your team did an amazing job."

FAQs for painting projects in Saint Clair Shores, MI

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.
