"We had some plumbing done and decided to paint the wall ourselves after the job was completed. We botched it, lol. Stellar Painting came in and fixed our mistakes and repainted the wall for us. It was a small job, but they treated us like it was the most important job of their career. They are super friendly, fast, efficient, and NEAT. I will definitely call them again when we need painting done. It's just easier to have it done right the first time!"

"Painter Mike completed staining our outside wooden deck and stair entrance as promised both quickly and efficiently. After giving us a very reasonable proposal he was able to start on time and finish as agreed upon. He made suggestions we liked and clean up was thorough. Mike is very neat and did an excellent job. We will hire him again when we need painting done."

"Mike installed a tub and shower surround. Fixed the drywall, plumbing, and insulation. He had to do work under our crawl space and tons of other small things to get our bathroom up and running. Was more than fair on pricing and completed everything in a timely manner. Will definitely have him complete any other jobs that pop up around the house!"

"I would highly recommend Dean’s painting for the quality of workmanship that they had performed for me and my family. As we were ready to put our family home on the market, we contacted Dean’s painting and they came out gave us a quote which was well below other competitors. They were able to get the whole house completed in a quick and timely fashion with attention to details. Again, we highly recommend Dean’s painting for all of your painting needs."

"Our room was used for music so we had lots of places were the drywall came off when we took the sound pads off. He patches all the places sanded it. The wall was super smooth and you could not tell were any of the places were. If had great customer service. Always took our calls and was very professional. I would not hesitate to hire him for any job."

FAQs for painting projects in Dale, IN

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.
