"Got estimates from 5 companies - large and small -- to paint (dark stained) 10 cabinet doors and 7 drawers (to off-white). Estimates ranged approx $4200 down to $750. All were going to use the same store and type of paint (Emerald urethane). All but one would separate doors/hinges and use brush or spray on-site, one would remove all and paint in their shop. I couldn't imagine the results would be 4 times better if I went with the high end quotes. Went with Wing at approx $750 (not incl tax) to do job. Zach quoted and thought it would be a 2-3 day job to remove doors/hinges and spray onsite. Three weeks later I got 4 day notice they could start work. A 3 person crew showed up on time and got right to work. Professional, friendly, efficient. They decided to use brush only. I "thought" spray method would provide a better looking finish but "no", the brush method was very good (light stipple effect). One prime coat and one finish coat were accomplished on day 1. Returning on time for day 2, they finished another coat and cleanup in approx 4 hours. Overall: Very satisfied and would hire again."

"My painter for 40+ years retired. I waited 2 years before finding Dunworth Painting. I needed a study room painted. I am delighted to have found our new painter, Joseph Dunworth! He started on the date promised & was prompt each day. He was very professional & his work was perfect! He left no spatters or spills because every day he carefully placed drop cloths! Most importantly, his painting was immaculate, including windows, radiators, built-in bookcase, doors & door frames. Each night he left the workspace clean & passable. I am so thrilled with Joseph’s work & will only use him for all our painting needs! I highly recommend Dunworth Painting!"

"My living room and hall had paneling, so we had Gary paint over it. The color of the paneling was dark and we had it painted white. It turned out beautiful, both the living room and hall looks like we have a plank type wall, something you would see in a cottage, it is perfect. This is the second time we used DeLuca's Painting and I will definetly use them again. Prices are very reasonable"

"Wonderful…I would definitely use his services again. He took extra care to cover all items. He was even helpful in the decision of the paint color for the bedroom. He had all the equipment needed for the jobs. The job took a few days and he made sure to clean up everyday. Glad I chose this company, he did a tremendous job. I am loving the new colors."

Customers say: Quick response

"They did a great job painting our house in a very timely manner. We needed it done quickly because we are selling our home and they were able to fit us in within a week or so of the estimate. They were very courteous and kept us informed about the progress of the job especially when the weather prohibited work on the project. They also did a very good cleanup afterwards and managed to even get the paint chips out the garden beds. I would definitely recommend them because if the fair pricing, good communication, and quality work."

FAQs for painting projects in Lancaster, 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.
