"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."

"Manny and his team did a fantastic job on staining my deck! Got the old paint off with great detail then stained it for a great finish. When I noticed something that was concerning, he redid the section to make sure I was pleased, no questions asked. He was punctual, kind and fast! Highly recommended and will be using him for other projects. Great experience all around!"

"Anabel did a fantastic job. He painted my daughter’s room which required painting stripes on the walls and he did a beautiful job. He is a true artisan. He painted my bedroom and a high ceiling over our staircase. All done beautifully. He is neat, accurate and a very nice man. I would highly recommend Anabel."

"Both rooms were painted the same color walls and ceiling. They over bought the paint and because we had no use for the TWO left over gallons, they kept them. We did NOT get a refund. We are disappointed in their practise. This was the second time we've used Precision Painting Plus. This left a bad feeling."

FAQs for painting projects in Hempstead, 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.
