"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!"

"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."

"Efren and his team did a very nice job of repair and painting of the outside and inside of my home. They showed up on time daily and worked the full day, cleaning up at the end of the day. There were a couple of blips along the way but Efren went above and beyond on trying to make things right. Efren was very responsive to request and showed up daily to keep the project on schedule and to make sure things were going right. I would recommend them and plan on using Nunez Construction again for other projects as they arise."

FAQs for painting projects in Kew Gardens, 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.
