"Several painting companies declined to bid when contacted, saying they found the project outside their comfort level. Trinity accepted the challenge and performed to perfection. Owner Angel Torres personally supervised and participated in the effort. Skill, pride, experience, and professionalism was on display in every aspect from site prep to clean-up. They started when they said they would, they came each day when they said they would, and they finished when they said they would. Extremely customer oriented: courteous, friendly, and respectful. We could not find even a smudge of paint out of place. We were so impressed we gave Angel a bonus. Trinity really came through for us."

"Very happy with Sadot and his family business. He personally answers the phone 24/7 ( not a call center or 3rd party ) You deal directly with the owner. He communicates every day. He power washed old stain off, fixed and repaired bad and rotten wood, re-stained the desk. He followed price quote, he completed in time frame is originally stated, Workmanship of repairs and staining was PERFECT..these guys ( all family members ) are perfectionist, made sure I was a ratified customer, and his price was VERY REASONABLE, The next time I need anything related to painting, or exterior wood repair and finishing, he will be my first and maybe only call because I trust him, and I don't trust most people, but he earned my trust and confidence."

"We moved to a new home and were looking for a painter on a emergency basis before moving our furniture. Yolis painting services did excellent job on the same day we got estimate and work was done with the highest quality. We hired them for our second home too. Next we will hire them to paint our entire home. I would definitely recommend Yolis painting services."

"We interviewed many painters to renovate an old house. Bici Brothers was very thorough with their bid; we had not even received bids from some contractors we spoke to after their visit. Not only was his bid reasonable, Eddie was able to remove wallpaper in two rooms, repair some damage to walls in each, paint several rooms in entirely, other rooms we painted an alcove or two of the four walls. He completed the project just as he had promised on time."

"Sometimes getting quotes on large jobs like exterior house staining/painting can be difficult and exhausting. Pro Painting & Restoration is definitely the place to go!! . From start to finished product, I can tell you that I honestly would give them a 10 if the scale went that high. It is everything I read about when reading reviews and then some! thank you so much for a fantastic job on a cedar siding house with exterior woodwork that needed to be done."

"Miguel did a remarkable job painting the south side of our house. His preparation was unparalleled, and his detail in painting was beyond our expectations. We were so impressed with his work that we hired him to stain our deck. Again, he did a superb job."

FAQs for painting projects in Lake In The Hills, 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.
