"John and Kim were recommended to us so we had them give us a quote which in turn was more than reasonable on painting 2 rooms in the house and they painted those 2 rooms for us. Once we seen the skill and professionalism they put into the job we immediately ask them to another 2 rooms. Now spring is here and we have hired again to paint another 2 large rooms and please keep in mind we have cathedral ceilings in all the rooms they have painted and also in 2 rooms they will paint next week. We highly recommend them for painting like I stated they have the knowledge, skill and professionalism also last but not least they they do a great clean up job when they are done. They are good people and can be trusted!"

"Two men showed up, Pablo Ayala and his assistant. I had roughly six rooms to paint, some small. Many of the ceilings were in terrible shape, paint peeling, cracks in the plaster. In two days they repaired the broken ceilings and painted the entire house. They did a very good job, did not get paint on my hardwood mouldings, and were very courteous. I definitely recommend them."

"Excellent! Marcus did good, quality work and kept in communication with me, including sending photos of the work he had done. He was very professional, he researched any required permits, he sent product information for the stain he was using, he arrived when stated and worked hard through some sweltering summer days. I would definitely hire him again. As a matter of fact, we are in the process of hiring him for our next project!"

FAQs for painting projects in Seward, 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.
