"We are very happy with the job Custom Colors did for us. For us, the most commendable aspect of their service was their attention to detail. The interior of our house had not been painted for over 10 years, and as a result, the walls and ceilings had a lot of issues. None of these were major issues, but there were quite a lot of cracks, nail holes from wall hangings, a few minor water stains, etc. Now that Custom Colors is done, our house looks brand new. There is not a blemish to be seen. The edges are very sharp. There aren't any splotches, etc.
Beyond the attention to detail, the crew was very polite, asking permission for minor things, like using our kitchen table to eat their lunch. (Of course that was fine, it was below freezing outside!) It seems like they have been working together for a long time, as everyone seemed to know what their role was, and were very efficient.
They were willing to do a few little extras, like wiping some grime off the wallpaper up high. (This room we were just having the ceiling done. The wallpaper stayed. But since they were already up there on the ladders...)
Being able to work at home, we gave them an extremely flexible schedule. We said we didn't care on which date they started, or how long they worked. So, I feel we can't comment on things like punctuality. Nevertheless, they arrived promptly at 8:30 each morning and finished the job sooner than estimated (around 3 days).
At the end of each day, they put the house back together as much as possible, even though we said we were willing to live around any mess. They took pictures before starting the job, and used them to arrange the furniture as it was before they started.
Since we can't really find any thing to fault them on, we gave them an A in every category, and would use them again if/when we paint again.

"We are very pleased with the results from ONiT Painting. Our initial interaction with Savannah was fantastic! David, Brandon, and the painting crew were all friendly and professional. They took the time to answer all the questions my husband and I had. Additionally, they completed the work a day earlier than expected. Overall, it was a great experience!"

"These guys are the best. Period. They ve painted two barns and fence at one of our properties two years ago. And this summer stained a deck, pergola and privacy fence. The difference w Whites is the prep work. Anyone can paint or stain. The longevity comes from the prep work."

"The Painting edge was great to work with for our staining project. From the beginning with Todd, to the end with Debbie, communication was great. Debbie made sure I was completely happy with my project. I love, love, love how my stairs that used to have carpet look now with stain on them. I have included some pictures of before and after. If you need someone for your staining project, The Painting Edge is your team."

"They were fast, and overall did a good job. I was concerned about having my house sprayed, however, because of past experiences with overspray on windows. I mentioned this concern, and was assured that this would not happen because all windows would be completely covered with plastic. It turned out not to be the case. Some windows were covered, but most were not. There was overspray, on some windows, and paint spots on some of the white window frames. I'm working with them to get all of this cleaned. It might not be a problem for everyone. But it's a problem for me because I can't climb a ladder to get to the windows."

FAQs for painting projects in Fortville, 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.
