"I had the pleasure of hiring this Bobby on two separate occasions to paint trim, doors, and ceilings in my home. The quantity of his work was excellent. He used top tear paint that left the surfaces looking fresh and vibrant. Not only he was meticulous in his craftsmanship, but he was also punctual and completed both jobs efficiently. What truly stood out was his attention to detail and ensuring everything was cleaned up once the job was finished. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking reliable, high quality paint services."

"Eric is the owner of EJ painting. He is honest and hardworking. His prices are the best and his work always out shines the more expensive competitors. Eric works in my house when I am work and he leaves my house as clean as when he started. He has painted and done sheet rock in the majority of my home. He also power washed my garage floor! He’s extremely versatile and aims to please. I have never once been disappointed in his work. I will be hiring him again to do my bathroom next. A+"

"Louis and John are experts at painting. They are neat, efficient, and were great with my home’s 100 year-old plaster walls. I found them to be hard working, on-time, and respectful to my home like it was their own. I highly rate the quality of their paint and of their painting."

"Mark and his crew at ABC Fine Home Painting were very professional and provided quality service. Mark worked with us to provide an accurate estimate. Then he power washed our outbuildings' exteriors and came back later after drying to scrape, paint, and touchup. He clipped vines growing up the side of our structures (with permission) and removed weeds to ensure a thorough and quality paint job. The double barn, stable and additional building took three weeks from start to finish and they stayed all day everyday to ensure the job was done as quickly as possible. Should weather be a concern Mark was in constant contact regarding work schedules. The entire project was explained step by step and the suggested timeline was followed. We were so happy with his work we hired him immediately following to paint our kitchen. Again, the job was done very thoroughly and professionally. Mark asks after each job is completed to inspect the work and to find anything we'd like fixed before he's willing to accept payment. We will definitely use his company again."

"Jack from JT Lawler handled the entire painting job of our sunroom. Jack was on time very professional and did an excellent painting job. Jack repaired a small crack in the ceiling and nail holes prior to painting. He made a recommendation to paint the baseboard and we appreciated his advice and it made the job complete. I would recommend JT Lawler LLC to my family and friends and will use in the future."

"They did as agreed and I never had the opportunity to meet with them. Impressed with the cutting around wires and lighting… clean and perfect with no overpaint… one coat did the job. I’d hire again."

"Paul provided an estimate on the job the same day that he came to look at the work. I was on a tight timeline for the project because I wanted the painting completed before carpet would be put in. Paul did a great job! He was very neat and completed the work on time. I would definitely recommend working with him for your painting needs."

"Julio, Elisio and their crew did an awesome job of repairing the deck, replacing the steps and painting the deck. They ensured the furniture was moved off the deck and placed back once the painting was completed. Cost was very reasonable. Both of them are very easy to work with and very responsive and accommodating. We are very satisfied with the work completed. We will need to see how the paint holds up in the long term. We hope to have similar experience with other projects with them."

FAQs for painting projects in Somerville, 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.
