"NB Painting was very professional. Kept the site clean each day. Delivered what was promised. The painting is excellent and the wall prep was just as good. Price was competitive and the work was completed without delay. I recommend NB Painting and would hire again. The owner is very personable and listens to your expectations as well as offer recommendations. Thank you Nick."

"Mark and Nick were great! They did a thorough walkthrough both before and after and made sure everything we wanted done was done to our liking. They were very clear in communicating what their plan was and when they planned on doing the work. The work completed was top quality and I will be reaching out again if we need any more painting/staining/ finishing done. Would highly recommend their services."

Customers say: True professional

"Paul was incredible from start to finish. Paul painted the entire interior and exterior of my house. Paul was on time, did quality work, and transformed my house. Any walls that needed repairing were repaired, and any walls that needed additional coats were done without me asking. Paul took great pride and his work, often going back to rooms that he finished just to check to make sure he didn’t miss any spots. Paul worked whatever hours he needed to to make sure that the job was done on time, and at the end, it simply looked incredible. No matter if you’re painting a room or your entire house like I did, I recommend Paul for any and all things painting. He is an incredible painter with high-quality work and he has my highest recommendation as a service provider."

"I had Clean Cut Painting paint several rooms in my house, and the experience was excellent. The painters were friendly, detail-oriented, and completed the work neatly. The colors look beautiful, and the walls have a smooth, professional finish. They also cleaned up everything after the project was finished. I would definitely recommend their painting services to others."

"James was outstanding and did everything he quoted and was on time for the quote, power washing and paint job. He was east to work with and even did more work than he quoted and save us from having to paint one wall ourselves. We did the lower part of the house and he did the upper parts, dormers and chimney. I only wish we had more painting needing to be done because I will be going back to him and in the future. I will definitely refer my family and friends to have James quite for their painting projects. A++++ in my book."

FAQs for painting projects in Utica, 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.
