"Eric did a fabulous job! The space to be painted was challenging with cathedral ceilings, lots of corners, and a wall of bracket shelving to paint around. His attention to detail was impressive. Eric was easy to work with and totally accommodating to my color schemes with accent walls and trim. Eric completed the work while I was out of town and I found him to be extremely trustworthy; he kept me apprised of his progress throughout the whole process. I love how the new colors totally transform my home. I plan to ask Eric to return to do more painting for me in the future. I would highly recommend Eric Pickhart ."

Customers say: Quick response

"Old Time Carpenters did more than just the cabinets. He helped with the redisign and relocation of a window in my kitchen. He layed an oak wood floor in the kitchen and weaved it into the existing wood floors in the dining room and hall with no visible difference. He painted my whole house, replaced all our doors and molding, refinished the wood floors throughout the house and installed attic stairs. His work is excellent and I would highly recommend him."

FAQs for painting projects in Oneonta, 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.
