"Cody did wonderful work. Work ethic was great and you could tell he really cares about the work that he does. Very personable too. Always kept in contact with you about what would be done next. I would hire again if I needed some more drywall done."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"We had a whole house remodel done by D&M contracting and could not be happier. They did everything we asked, from kitchen to bathroom to painting to floors to custom built cabinets and more. They came up with great solutions for some problems that you ultimately always run into during a big project like this. And besides being extremely knowledgeable they are also an absolute joy to have around the house. I can highly recommend them for any project you might have. I know I will definitely hire them again in the future for other projects I have planned."

"Everything went very well. The job involved multiple rooms + Foyer + Hallways of the house. This was a big job requiring lots of sanding, priming, and multiple coats of paint on walls and trims. Ken and Ken  Jr. were a great team, they were very punctual, and they got the job done on a tight schedule. Most importantly, their cost is really reasonable."

FAQs for painting projects in Dansville, 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.
