"It was an absolute awesome experience. Phillip made the experience one to love. Not only was he very professional, he also found a way to make it fun at the same time. He carried us through the entire process so it was not like just doing what he felt was best, he always ensured whatever was being done was to our satisfaction. He constantly checked that we were happy and satisfied with the work being done. He also educated us on why certain things were better done in certain ways - thus also making it a learning experience for us. He was always punctual, friendly, hardworking and a sweetheart. He always cleaned up and left no mess. Best believe if I have to go into every detail of how awesome he was, I would write a book. In all it was a great experience and the outcome of the paint job is lovely - we LOVE it !!!"

"I am moving and needed a paint refresh before selling my home. Tom called me personally to speak with me about my needs and was at my house 2 days later for an estimate. He was exceptionally priced and worked with me for what I needed. He truly provided the service that he felt truly was needed for the home and not just to make extra money. Very professional and overall a nice person. Paint came out beautiful. Highly recommend."

"They painted everything the same color. They painted the molding, doors, fixed some rot under the window, and painted the closets. They did a very nice job and I am very happy. The owner is a pleasure. The crew was very nice. They were prompt and did what they said they were going to do. They were able to finish the job within three days. I am very happy."

"Contractor was very personable and offered suggestions for painting my patio furniture. Work was completed quickly and exceeded my expectations. He left the patio free of paint splatter which was what I feared. The patio set looks like new."

FAQs for painting projects in Centereach, 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.
