"The team was extremely professional. They prepared all interior and exterior services thoroughly, taking off all old and peeling paint. They worked efficiently and were respectful of the tenants. They addressed all the issues we discussed in the contract and the result is a clean, refreshed inside and outside."

"Martin and his crew removed wallpaper and painted nearly half of our home and we are thrilled with how it turned out! He responded to my inquiry within a day and came out to give a quote within a week. Martin offered us a reasonable and fair price for the amount of work to be done and was spot on with the estimate of how long the job would take. The work was done in 5 days and they were extremely courteous, clean and efficient while here. We highly recommend Painting Pittsburgh and will definitely be using them for future projects!"

"Tom did an awesome job painting my metal awning. I was first quoted by someone else for an outrageous price because he said he needed to build scaffolds to paint it. Tom was my second quote. He took detailed measurements, broke down all costs, and took the time to explain everything. He also did not need scaffolds. He is extremely fair with his pricing, attentive to detail, and great with his recommendations. My metal awning looks brand new. I would definitely call Tom for my next project and recommend him to someone else."

"I recently hired DahnTahn construction to complete a major deck installation. We needed a roof as well as paver/ concrete work below. They were quick to give me my estimate and laid out clear expectations of how long the project would take they showed up every day on time and cleaned up before they left, which was much appreciated"

FAQs for painting projects in Mars, PA

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.
