"Our project involved removing wallpaper, that was painted over, painting trims, patching and covering some small tracks. We interviewed 4 companies and at the end we chose Dr Paint. They were professionals. Every day they would clean up, remove the trash. They worked on Saturday's so they can finish the job on a deadline we requested. And they did. The house looks great as a result of their work. I would recommend them to my family and friends. Great price and great job, we are very happy."

"ProVision did an excellent job of removing difficult wallpaper and painting in our en-suite bathroom. The paint color they helped us choos was perfect. They left the work area in spotless condition and left remaining paint availble for any future touch-ups."

"I am really happy with the work Mike at Eco Pro did with our house. We closed on our house and had about 90% of the interior painted and had some exterior paint done as well and it all turned out wonderfully. From coming out for our quote to going over the final punch list Mike was very responsive and on top of everything. We had a lot in motion - with getting our floors stained and organizing our move and Mike and his workers worked with us through all of it to get the job done.
We had different colors in each bedroom and two different colors for the main rooms. Paint colors are so overwhelming and I was struggling with what colors for our main areas and Mike took the time to come out and consult me on the colors. I went back and forth a lot and he put samples up for me to look at and was very patient as I decided.
His workers were friendly and professional. Mike was quick to respond and get back to us whenever we had any questions.
We had several quotes for interior and exterior paint to be done prior to moving into our home. Mike's quote was not the highest or the lowest but I appreciated the communication and the time he took to answer my questions and so we decided to go with Eco Pro and I am glad we did. We will be finishing our basement and painting the back area of our house down the road and I will def call and hire Mike again. We have already referred him to our realtor to pass along to her clients and another couple that recently moved, very happy with Mike and his work.

"Anthony and team did a superb job. Many painters were not open to both the wood repairs and the painting project, and Anthony was confident in the solutions he recommended and willing to stand by a firm quote. They completed the prep, painting, and the complex wood repairs well. They replaced a large section of siding, which was the most economical and best solution for the areas of deteriorated siding, and left the home looking great. They replaced part of one window sill on an older window, a whole area of siding, and trim and fascia on my porch. Upon removal of the rotted fascia, they found another rotted wood behind, and were able to fix that as well at a reasonable cost. The painting prep and painting was done with attention to detail. They also made a point to leave me with extra paint in case I needed in the future. From the initial quote, to the scheduling, to the completion of the job, they were organized, on time, and delivered on their commitments. Trustworthy, expert work throughout."

FAQs for painting projects in Downers Grove, IL

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.
