"Nick and Frank were punctual, very neat, professional and super friendly. They did an outstanding job repairing/painting cracks and peeling paint on our vaulted ceiling and skylights. We will definitely use them again. ?"

"James was outstanding and did everything he quoted and was on time for the quote, power washing and paint job. He was east to work with and even did more work than he quoted and save us from having to paint one wall ourselves. We did the lower part of the house and he did the upper parts, dormers and chimney. I only wish we had more painting needing to be done because I will be going back to him and in the future. I will definitely refer my family and friends to have James quite for their painting projects. A++++ in my book."

"Liedel Powerwashing and Painting did a phenomenal job painting our home. We have a large 1-1/2 story ranch that really needed painting. Starting with the original estimate, every member of the crew was professional. They arrived when promised, were respectful of your property and made sure that we were satisfied when they finished. We were in need of having some siding replaced before they painted and the gentleman that came by to do it completed it without any issues. We would not hesitate to recommend Liedel Powerwashing and Painting to any of your friends. The job is complete and the price was fair. We were pleased from beginning to end. This company was a true Blessing to us!"

"We have hired Woodbrook Painting several times over the last seven years. Our most recent project was painting our kitchen cabinets, we are delighted with the outcome. Our 25 year old cabinets look like brand new and like they just came in from the factory. Keith, Ryan and the crew were professionals from beginning to end and got the job done on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to our routine. We will be hiring Woodbrook again soon."

"Larry is the best! He was thorough, neat. And even offered painting suggestions to help get our house ready to sell. He also worked with and around the wood flooring contractors and carpet cleaner. We got our first full price offer one day after he finished painting and we think his work was a big reason our house looks so good to potential buyers. Anyone who needs painting done should definitely hire Larry; he is a true professional!"

"I initially hired OC Construction and Painting for the painting of my kitchen after a complete remodel. Orsen the painter was very collaborative, timely and the work product was excellent. I then hired the company to paint the exterior of my mid-century modern house. Again Orsen collaborated with me to achieve the desired result: a beautiful, eye-popping color transformation that exceeded my expectations. I continue to get comments and inquiries from neighbors and visitors. Orsen is very meticulous and a consummate artist as a painter. His pricing is reasonable and worth every penny spent."

FAQs for painting projects in Union Lake, MI

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.
