"I am so impressed by the work of Joel at DaVinci Painting! First of all, he is exactly on time every day and his attention to detail is top notch. He repaired a wall after a cabinet removal with no patch visible after painting. He works so diligently and independently that you can almost forget he is even there. Also, he uses paint that has a very low odor so you can actually sleep in a room the same day. Very happy with his work and will definitely be using him again for some more interior painting projects!"

"The process went smoothly. Overall the painters were professional and careful in their approach to the job. We appreciated the added value of washing the windows, removing shutters to stain both sides. George was particularly helpful by staying in touch as the painting date neared. Many thanks, Rainbow Painting!"

"We highly recommend Five Star Painting! Everyone that we had contact with was professional, friendly, efficient, and responsive. We had ceilings and walls in 4 rooms and 3 hallways painted and they finished in 1.5 days. And it all looks so good! Very reasonable pricing. Meticulous work. We will definitely use them for any future painting needs."

"I would highly recommend Culver's Painting. Communication was excellent from start to finish so we knew what to expect and when. They painted our whole 3-story house and garage and finished very quickly. Any minor things we needed touched up were done immediately, and the crew that did the work was very pleasant and cleaned up so well. There was no mess left behind at all."

FAQs for painting projects in Sussex, WI

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.
