"Greg and his team were exceptional in every way. The work was completed promptly and the professional quality of the preparation and painting exceeded expectations. One wall in particular needed repair and the result shows true competence. All the work shows conscientiousness, pride in their work and real skill to do it right.  Greg and his team deserve the high marks they continually receive in reviews.  Every member of the team is a pleasure. I highly recommend Greg for your all your painting needs.

"From beginning to end our experience with Chicago Painters was excellent. In the beginning, they provided us with reasonable quotes and answered all of our questions. They were very clear on how the process worked, how to pick out paint colors, and what to expect. When the first day of painting began, the painters were very professional and cleaned up after themselves when they were finished. Our painting project was rather large because we had a bunch of drywall tape that needed to be replaced. When drywall tape is replaced, they have to do a lot of sanding down and that means a lot of dust. They put up huge barriers of plastic sheet from floor to ceiling whenever they were sanding so not an ounce of dust landed in other parts of our condo. We really appreciated that because the clean up afterwards was minimal. Once all the dry wall tape was replaced and sanded down, they started the painting and the paint job came out beautifully! Over the course of about 6 months, we worked with Jim a couple different times and he was professional and answered all my questions. Chicago Painters is a great company and I highly recommend them for any paint job no matter how big or small.

"MQ Painting was very professional in every aspect of the work they completed for us. They power washed every surface prior to painting. All surfaces were sanded or scraped as needed. Two coats of stain we applied to all surfaces. The garage doors were stripped, stained and varnished. The deck railings were completely replaced and painted on a very large deck. Originally, Jose thought only a portion of the railing spindles needed to be replaced. As the job proceeded it was apparent that all spindles and railing wood needed to be replaced. The only additional charge was for the materials, not for labor even though every spindle needed to be individually cut from larger pieces of lumber. MQ was the only painting contractor who bid on our paint job who was willing to do all the woodwork repairs needed on the deck. Other contractors said we'd need to have someone repair the deck and then they would paint it. We appreciated working with just one contractor. Their painting and carpentry work was top notch. All workers were neat, punctual and conscientious. All materials and tools were picked up and stored at the end of every work day. I discovered MQ Painting through Angie's List. I highly recommend MQ Painting and would absolutely hire them again."

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

FAQs for painting projects in Skokie, 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.
