"Richard called to show interest in the job to paint my two iron railings on my brick staircase leading to my front porch. We discussed the job what it entailed. He described in detail what he would do to complete the job. He would sand the old paint off, remove all loose paint chips until the railings were smooth to accept the new coats of paint. He recommended Direct to Metal (DTM) paint advising it was much better than rust oleum paint. I did my research and read the same thing so we went with the DTM paint and I’m glad we did. Richard put three coats of paint, was meticulous in his process, very neat and carefully planned. He was extremely professional, polite and friendly to deal with. The job exceeded my expectations. I will use Richard and Best for Less the next time a pint project comes up."

"Mr. Nunez and his team exceeded my expectations! I needed new stair railings ASAP due to my husband returning to home from a long-term hospitalization, and Nunez Construction & Painting came to my rescue, and had his crew at my home the very next morning! From the initial inquiry to the very end, Mr. Nunez answered each and every one of my inquiries and messages in a prompt and courteous manner and showed up exactly when he said he would, twice. His estimate was in line with the others that received, and very fair. The railings came out sturdy and beautiful, and the paint job was meticulous. Thank you, Mr. Nunez, for making a very stressful time in our lives so much easier! You are a true professional. I would not hesitate to hire Nunez Construction & Painting again, and would recommend them to any of my family and friends."

"Muhammad from New Mark Painting and Construction provided excellent service. They are professional, knowledgeable, and always on time. I hired him a second time because my tenants car leaked all over my driveway. Muhammad did an excellent job of the re-installation of paving stones, it motivated me to fix my sidewalk and side of the house as well. I would highly recommend them for any future projects. Thank You Muhammad for doing such a great job! - Denise M. from the Bronx"

"We hired them to paint our townhouse in Greenpoint, repair the cornice, and install and paint a new stoop—and the work was exceptional from start to finish. They were meticulous about every detail, especially the cornice repair, which blended beautifully with the existing façade. The paintwork was crisp, even, and professionally finished throughout, and the new stoop looks fantastic—solid, cleanly installed, and perfectly painted. Just as impressive was how carefully they treated the property. They kept the work area organized each day and did an outstanding cleanup when everything was finished. It’s rare to find a contractor with this level of craftsmanship, care, and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality exterior work."

FAQs for painting projects in Jackson Heights, 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.
