"Matt and his team did an excellent job. The results are spectacular! Our house has original cedar shingles which had not been painted for over 10 years. He and his team thoroughly scraped and prepped all surfaces, and then meticulously repainted it with fresh colors. Looks like a completely different house. Can't count how many compliments we've received on how great it looks. Matt was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him for any home painting needs."

"Precision Paint recently completed painting my foyer along with the living and dining room areas, and I am pleased with the overall results. The Project Manager was thorough, cordial, and easy to work with throughout the process, ensuring my questions were answered and my preferences addressed. While it appeared that some of the work may have been completed by day workers, the final paint job looks great and has refreshed the entire space beautifully. In addition to painting, the team skillfully incorporated the installation of molding I had purchased separately, which added a wonderful finishing touch. Overall, the experience was positive, and I appreciate the effort and flexibility shown in completing both the painting and molding installation to my satisfaction."

"The work done by Jhon and his crew was excellent. They repaired structo-lite walls, plastered, removed old wallpaper, skim coated walls and painted. Work was done in 6 apartments in a very timely manner and I needed to add other work on as the project commenced. Jhon was very accommodating. His estimates were detailed and he made sure I was completely aware of each phase of the project. I would definitely recommend Paladin Painting and hire them again whenever I need painting or this type of repair work done. They do a great job!"

"I recently hired this painting company to paint the entire exterior and structure of my house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and extremely detail-oriented. They took the time to properly prepare the surfaces, protect the surrounding areas, and make sure everything was done the right way. The quality of the work is outstanding — clean lines, smooth finish, and excellent coverage. My home looks completely refreshed and brand new. The crew was respectful, punctual, and kept the job site clean throughout the project. They also communicated clearly about the timeline and delivered exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a trustworthy company that truly cares about the quality of their work, I highly recommend them. I would definitely use their services again in the future."

"After my family and I decided to move back to the old Queens house I grew up in to live above my mom, we quickly realized there were many things that needed to be repaired. I've counted on Nunez Construction and Painting for all of it. The first job they did was to repair some siding on the house. Prior to our move, we then wanted to gut and remodel the second floor apartment where we live. Mr. Nunez and his crew did a great job. More recently, our basement became flooded with sewage. We called him again to help with this project and install a new floor. We are always very satisfied customers. The work is great and reasonably priced. We can't thank him enough for being a wonderful person and company to work with."

FAQs for painting projects in Elmhurst, 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.
