"ADR Advanced Painting is our GO TO company for ALL of our painting and staining jobs on the farm. They have masterfully transformed our restored Dutch barn (circa 1790) into a "must see" barn in the Hudson Valley, and have done so many other projects here, both exterior and interior on our residential buildings. They are thorough, organized, clean, thoughtful, and efficient. We love working with them, and we don't hesitate to call them for big or small jobs. If you want it done right, call ADR. You won't be sorry."

"My wife and I recently purchased a house. Javier and his crew undertook the interior painting and hardwood floor refinishing before we moved in. His approach to the project and the manner in which the work was undertaken was both professional, efficient and of good quality. I would highly recommend Javier and his crew for both interior painting and refinishing of hardwood floors."

FAQs for painting projects in Poughkeepsie, 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.
