"Overall very happy with the painting work. Quick, professional, easy to work with. The walls largely look great. Minus a half star because the estimate stated that wallpaper would be removed in various rooms, but it was just painted over. Also some switch and outlet plates were not removed prior to painting, as well as some bathroom mounts. Can see how some things were just painted around. Would hire again despite tiny issues because their price was great."

"Al arrived on time, and was friendly . He measured the apartment, while discussing everything included in the job. His team showed up the next morning, and got started. They went above and beyond, painted more surfaces than I expected & it looked neat & clean. By day 2, everything was finished, including the ceilings & trim! I’d definitely hire them again."

"We have used Chris for many years now to maintain our shore house, including power washing, exterior and interior pricing. His work is high quality, his prices are reasonable, and he is extremely responsive and reliable (which is tough to find in Cape May!). He is very professional, and has no problem picking up the paint brush himself. We really enjoy working with him and highly recommend him."

"We hired ZZeo's to remove carpeting and to install a wood floor in our dining room, also to prep the ceiling and walls for paint, and then paint it all. We are extremely satisfied with the workmanship and very happy with the results. There was no fuss, no drama, just a job well done. We will hire ZZeo's for future projects and we recommend ZZeo's highly to others."

"Billy preformed multi-room remodel, including doors, trim, closets, french closet door, secondary closet doors, painting, closet shelving, pantry door, stalled new plantation blinds in all rooms and because he was so meticulous - and wanted the rooms to look perfect - he recaulked the baseboards and trim through out the entire house. Could not be happier with the work - will be bringing Billy back for more projects!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Ocean City, NJ

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.
