"Brian and his crew did an excellent job with the interior painting of my son's house. From start to finish from prepping to cleanup every detail was done. They were on time, professional, friendly and worth the cost. He would definitely hire them again and recommend to anyone looking to hire the right company for the job!"

"Anni and his partner did a great job and were totally professional painting my two-story garage. They clearly communicated when they were coming and what they were doing. They did small wood repairs beautifully before painting and the garage looks great. Definitely recommend."

"We hired Matt to paint our home and apartments, and he did an outstanding job! From the start, he provided a great quote and showed up every day ready to work with professionalism and attention to detail. One thing I really appreciated was Matt’s recommendation to fix the ceiling in our home from a previous painter’s mistakes, which made a huge difference in the final look. He took his time to smooth everything out and ensure a clean, even finish—especially in the front playroom, one of the bedrooms, and our room, where you can really see the transformation. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled painter, I highly recommend Matt. Thanks again, Matt, for the excellent work!"

"Had some ice damage to the fiber cement type of siding used on my house. Elite Contracting did a great job to repair the damage, matching the siding type and paint color, and insuring this type of damage would not be repeated."

FAQs for painting projects in Amsterdam, NY

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.
