Customers say: Super punctual

"This was the second project we’ve done with Alan and crew. They painted the exterior of our home two years ago, and now almost the entire interior. Everything about the process was exceptional. Communication about every aspect of the job was great as was the workmanship and the clean-up. Getting nearly the whole interior painted at once is a disruptive process, but I’m not sure it could have gone better. To quote our 7-yr old, “Wow! This looks great…. Bravo!” Thank you Alan and team, great work!"

"We strongly recommend Schultze Painting. Steve was very professional. He came over to our townhome and viewed what we wanted done. He gave us a written bid on what the project would cost and a timeline of when the project would be completed. His cost was very reasonable. He provided all the paint and supplies needed. He always took special care of the property and always cleaned up after himself. He completed the project on budget and on time. It was a pleasure to work with Steve and we would be happy to use his services again."

"Todd and his crew did an excellent job. Our interior had not been repainted in over 20 years, so there was a great deal of patching and prep needed. We couldn't be happier- they were meticulous, and the house looks new again. We will be using Shelton Painting again in the spring for kitchen cabinet refinishing."

"Jamie did an awesome job on a number of interior painting projects for a fair and reasonable price. We had him paint a rec room and hall, a bedroom, fix water damage from plumbing on a knock down ceiling, enamel inside door along with some minor repairs. Jamie had all the necessary supplies, arrived on time per schedule and was very professional and communicative as the project progressed. Of course I found another project that Jamie will be coming back to do!"

The paint was in pretty rough shape.
The polyurethane has darkened over the years. You can see where pictures were hung.
Quite a bit of scraping on the lower portions of the porch trim.
Fence is in good shape, but heavily greyed by the sun

"I highly recommend Priceless Painting! Nathan and Aaron are meticulous in their work and so is their very professional crew. They are fussier about their work than I am. They did an amazing job power washing and preparing the house. They masked off everything that wasn't to be sprayed. They did a remarkable job spraying and there were no drips or over-sprays. The house looks absolutely fantastic!!! I am going to have them come back to paint the garage and entry doors, because there's no way I could make them look as good as Priceless Painting can. I rate them at 6 stars!"

"10/10, just fantastic job they have done for my house. Originally we were thinking about replacing whole sidings but the quotes we got from different vendors were just too much. We contacted AA painting, decided to repair some damaged old sidings then paint the whole exterior. Results were stunning , my house looks like a new house, some of my neighbors came to me and praised about the new look of my house now. A crew of 3-4 people worked hard for 5 days straight ( Thanks to great weather ), repaired some damaged sidings and trims, power washed, masking windows and doors, they even covered my RV and veggie garden to protect from sprayed paint. cleaned out all debris after work each day. Price is reasonable, I am glad that I hired AA painting, they are not just a painting company, they can do other repair works too if needed. I highly recommend them for the house repair and painting projects you may have."

We had a great experience and the deck looks great! Highly recommend them for their quality of work, their professional communication and their timely updates for our project!"

"Once again, Harold did a fantastic job. Never any complaints with his excellent service. He returns your call the same day, sets up appointment for estimate and arrives to start painting when he says he will. What would have taken my husband four days to paint, Harold did in a few hours. Beautiful job, Harold. Thank you!"

FAQs for painting projects in Stillwater, MN

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.
