"University Painters of Lancaster (pa) were great to work with. Jonathan, Felix and their team did an unbelievable painting job with our house. In the 35 years we’ve lived in the house it’s the best paint job ever done on it. The job was timely and at a very reasonable price. My wife and I would highly recommend this company for your painting needs"

"Incredible job done by Sergio and his crew. We needed our kitchen cabinets painted and they got it done in 2 days! The guys were professional and proficient. They literally got every spot, and then went back over and to see if they missed anything. These guys are affordable and well worth their price. Definitely will be using them again when painting my house!!"

"I had a great experience with Francisco and Property Painting & Remodeling. I reached out to several contractors, and Francisco was the only one who got back to me right away. His communication was excellent from start to finish, which I really appreciated. They did an amazing job on the exterior of my property, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The quality of work was definitely worth the price. I highly recommend Francisco and his crew!"

FAQs for painting projects in Elizabethtown, PA

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.
