"We had our kitchen cabinets painted by Franks painting and we were completely satisfied with the work. The cabinets look fabulous and everyone was very professional, efficient and friendly. Frank responded quickly to our request for a quote and the project was scheduled just as quickly. The painter’s were here everyday and in time. They were friendly and very professional. They cleaned up at the end of the project and there was no mess to contend with. We are very happy with the job that was done and we will be recommending them to anyone who needs painting done."

Customers say: Quality work

"It went smooth and it took longer for me to watch the paint dry then it did for Tom to complete the job Professionally and with high Quality. Tom is a Master at what he does. Show him the area and step aside because he has it done in his head before the work is finalized. Tom went above and beyond and now I know who to call for the next job after the holidays. COVID as put stress upon us all I had my mask on as well so did Tom of WallMasters!"

"Joe is our go-to guy when it comes to painting and any carpentry work we need done. For $1,750 (not including the molding and paint costs), he and his crew put wood veneers on the risers of our new wood stairs and sanded and painted the sides (we got rid of the carpet & got our wood floors & stairs sanded & stained.) They also added molding all along the sides. Then, we got the molding replaced in our living room, dining room & upstairs hall. Plus, he painted a small bathroom. As an added bonus, he added new molding around the entryway into the kitchen- he just asked if I wanted it- for free! I got such a great deal from Joe! This is the third time he has done work for me and I'm sure I will be contacting him again in the future when I need carpentry and/or painting done! Professional, good communicator, great prices!"

Small jobs welcome

"We are beyond grateful to Mike and his team at Purely Paint for the paint jobs they did on our bedrooms. They were professional from start to finish. Mike responded within an hour of me reaching out and after asking a few questions and requesting a few photos he provided a quote which was reasonable compared to his competitors. He provided his team’s availability and was able schedule the job within a week. He came to treat one of the more complex walls two days advance and the had his team complete the main job which they were able to complete in half a day. Notably, since we had chosen a dark navy color for the master bedroom they recommended a third coat of paint to ensure the quality of the color and went through the trouble of doing so even though it took them extra time. We could not be happier with results and will definitely be recommending Mike to all our family & friends!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I had a bathroom and dining room ceiling painted. Both needed repairs prior to painting. John was really good and I would definitely use JP painting again. Both my bathroom and dining room ceiling looked great. He was neat, cleaned up completely and there were no surprise costs or issues in the end."

FAQs for painting projects in Cold Spring Harbor, 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.
