"I am a first-time homebuyer who needed a fair amount of painting done, and I am more than pleased with the end result both in terms of the quality of the painting and with what it ended up costing me. I would highly recommend VR Painting to anyone looking for painters, and I would do business again with them in the future without a second thought."

"We reached out to Kenzie for a couple of painting projects. He responded to our online inquiry within minutes & set up a time to give an estimate. He provided a fair estimate that day. On painting day, he came first thing in the morning, matched the paint, and the projects were completed that day. They did a great job; taking great care to cover our belongings & cleaned up afterwards. Kenzie's communication throughout the process was amazing! My husband & I are both realtors, and we know how challenging it can be to have contractors communicate AND do a fantastic job. We will definitely recommend Kenzie/Ultra Painting to our clients."

FAQs for painting projects in Cross Plains, 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.
