"I wish I could give Steve an A+.  After getting bids from 3 other painters I chose Steve Schultze to do the job. Steve came out to give me a free estimate and then deducted 10% off the job due to an Angie's List coupon. I needed the kitchen, master bathroom, and guest bathroom painted. First Steve had to remove all the wallpaper in the guest bathroom and repair and wash the walls.
He also helped me to choose a color for the kitchen. Steve is a perfectionist. He is a skilled painter. There is not one area that I would consider sloppily done or needing touch ups. He treats your house like his.  He cleaned up after himself and didn't get any paint on woodwork, counters, etc..
He is very personable, professional, prompt, respectful,  and considerate. While he was here my neighbor asked him if he would have time to remove some wallpaper borders in her bedroom. So while he was waiting for my paint to dry he went between the two condos and helped her out too. I can't say enough nice things about him. I am already telling everybody I know that when they need a painter they should call Steve.

"Todd and his crew did an excellent job. Our interior had not been repainted in over 20 years, so there was a great deal of patching and prep needed. We couldn't be happier- they were meticulous, and the house looks new again. We will be using Shelton Painting again in the spring for kitchen cabinet refinishing."

Customers say: Super punctual

"This was the second project we’ve done with Alan and crew. They painted the exterior of our home two years ago, and now almost the entire interior. Everything about the process was exceptional. Communication about every aspect of the job was great as was the workmanship and the clean-up. Getting nearly the whole interior painted at once is a disruptive process, but I’m not sure it could have gone better. To quote our 7-yr old, “Wow! This looks great…. Bravo!” Thank you Alan and team, great work!"

"It was great working with AA Painting. When I started looking for a painter, I put up the job in Angie's List on a Saturday afternoon. I heard from AA Painting in 30 minutes and the project manager came within an hour to walk through and take detailed notes. They started work on Monday morning and finished on time, despite us adding a few changes while they were working. The workers were very professional and even pointed out non-paint related issues for us to watch for. There was one room with some work left over from a different contractor that they needed to return to finish. They worked from 3 PM to 8 PM on a Friday to complete the work. They left the house clean and gave us detailed notes on the paint used and even organized the paint cans. Overall we are very happy with them and we look forward to hiring them for future paint work."

"I couldn't be more pleased with the work! I received several bids and right away I felt confident that I was making the right choice so that the house would be painted with quality. I also had them clean the gutters before painting, and the gutters were cleaned with detail. I had them remove a small fence and railing that were no longer needed, and you can't even tell where those were with the manner in which they were removed, holes filled and prepared, and paint applied. The house is close to 4,000 square feet, with several colors, screened-in porch, and you can see the attention to detail. In addition, deck and the floor in the screened-in porch look amazing. I will gladly welcome Aaron and his team back. I received several bids and I was most comfortable with Aaron. This work was on my mom's house, and there is a possibility that the house will be sold at some point. However, I wanted the work completed with the quality that my parents have always maintained."

"The Good Initial Consult - I got quotes from Wow1day and 2 other painting companies. By far they had the most detailed initial consult.They took measurements of every room, were engaged and asking questions and were super responsive during the whole process. Price - They have competitive and fair pricing. They also had the most detailed price quote which broke down the cost in a very clear and transparent way which made it super helpful but also made us feel confident that the cost of the project would stay consistent with the initial quote which it did. Project and timeline - Overall they did a great professional job on the project. They clearly communicated the project timeline which was 4 days. They started & finished the project on time. They did a nice job of prepping the house and a fair job of cleanup as much as possible. During the project they were very communicative, they had us come check out any issues, some of our walls were dark grey that they were painting white, two coats weren’t enough so the had us come in, check it out and give authorization for additional coats of paint.They did miss one small area and had a few minor areas they needed to go over but that was to be expected for a project of this size. After the project was done, the following week their manger came back to inspect the work and make any repairs which was really great. The not so good that ended up great! - We experienced a pretty major snag with the project but Wow1day demonstrated integrity by fixing the issue for us free of charge. We chose Benjamin Moore colors for all our walls which WOW1day matched to Sherwin Williams. Unfortunately, one of the colors we choose didn’t look like the Benjamin paint color we had exhaustively swatched and picked out. The other areas that were matched with Sherwin Williams looked close enough but this particular paint had a green undertone which was very unattractive. This was a pretty large area of the house so we were concerned with the rework and associated charges but owner Mike stepped in and ensured that the walls were repainted with Benjamin Moore Paint free of charge. The way they handled this was ethical, professional and courteous and we really appreciated it. I would definitely work with them again and recommend them to friends and family. Lessons if you are looking to hire for a big painting project: When working with contractors such as Wow1Day make sure you swatch the right brand because there is a difference between the brands, it’s subtle in most cases but in our case the undertone really ruined the color for us and had to be repainted. Or if you really want a certain brand specify it in the contract. Ultimately though, we love the finished project and are super happy with the work, our house feels refreshed and new right in time for spring."

FAQs for painting projects in Stillwater, MN

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.
