"Eclipse painting were absolutely fantastic! They painted my house in a timely manner, the workers were incredibly polite and knew exactly what they were doing and the owner was very professional. My house was looking rather rough around the edges with a lot of damage to the previous paint job, but Eclipse gave me results I have wanted for years. They were very kind and very easy to work with. I highly recommend their services and would most definitely ask them to work on my house again."

"When I met Leo of HighRollers Painting I hired him because I could sense his integrity. His crew was very kind, efficient, and helpful. They also stained my deck and painted the foundation of my house. The worst part of the ordeal was me having to pick the colors for the paint and stain. Leo’s estimate of what it would cost was in the ballpark of what I was willing to spend. I give Leo and his crew five stars for their service ."

"Professional painting with a quick response time, attention to detail, and a fair price. Victor and Edwin painted my house to prepare for market and did a beautiful job. They walked through the house with me, gave a fair quote; and did the work the same day. Highly recommend. Top notch customer service and communication and superior quality work."

"Profession team painted the second level exterior trim of our farm house about to go up for sale. Much time spent on the details of scraping, priming, caulking, painting. Gave us the better price of three bids. Uniform, on time, masked all landscape. I have referred them to our realtor because I would absolutely hire them again."

FAQs for painting projects in Watertown, 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.
