"Nick did an outstanding job painting the interior of our home and we will have him paint the exterior of our home next spring. He is very professional and a pleasure to work with! Nick painted all walls and ceilings in our new home, which included 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, pantry, study. and living room with cathedral ceilings. His painting is superb and he pays attention to details. He also worked with us on our time frame and completed the project ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a great painter!!"

"Mark did a wonderful job with doing a stain on our front door. He was efficient and friendly. He communicated the steps he was taking and asked for our opinion when our input was needed (color, type of stain, etc.).He responded in a timely fashion to my inquires. The paint job changed the look of the house and made it look fresher. I would definitely hire again for future projects."

"Had them paint majority of our new house including a full 2 story living room. Excellent work, on time, and went above and beyond and put an extra coat on the ceiling in the kitchen at no extra cost to make it look better. Would highly recommend and will use them for any future paint projects."

"I recently had the exterior of my home painted by Somerset Painting, and I couldn’t be happier. From the initial walkthrough and quote with Rick, to the clear communication and scheduling with Row, to the outstanding work by John and Benny, the entire experience was professional from start to finish. John and Benny explained each step of the process and completed the job with care, precision, and pride in their work. I highly recommend Somerset Painting for any painting needs, and I look forward to having them paint the interior of my home this winter."

FAQs for painting projects in Sterling Heights, 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.
