"We contracted with Statewide Painting to paint the interior of our home. We needed woodwork repaired/replaced, wall and ceiling seams repaired, nail pops repaired, wallpaper removed, woodwork and windows painted. The job was a challenge since it involved almost every room in the house. Dan brought his team in, and in a little over three we the entire job was completed. The rooms needed 2 - 3 coats each along with the repairs. Shout out to two key members of Dan's team, David and Christian for their attention to detail and how accommodating they were for our requests. The team cleaned up at the end of each day, covered all the flooring and furniture when working in a room, and when extensive sanding needed to be done, they were able to seal the room in plastic to reduce the spackle dust. Dan was onsite most days to make sure things were progressing and many days were painting walls, woodwork anything that needed attention. We would highly recommend Statewide for your painting projects."

"We purchased a home and needed a large amount painting to be done. Bobby was professional through the entire process. He was there when he said he would be, paid attention to detail and left everything clean. He did a great job and was fairly priced. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him for all of our painting needs."

"Sunlight Contracting did a great job on our interior paint project! Very quick completion time and an amazing final result. We had a lower quality, chalky paint on the walls and were concerned about coverage and finish when painting over; however, Sunlight Contracting did a wonderful job working with what we had. We’re so happy with the finished product and will definitely contact Sunlight Contracting for future painting needs!"

"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."

"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."

"Paul and his crew of two additional painters worked with us to be sure we were happy. Work included having to prep walls that I removed wallpaper myself from unprofessionally, and they made them look new again! They were organized, clean and even used a HEPA vacuum (managing dust). They worked quickly, yet professionally every day and performed every agreed upon step as contracted. I received a few quotes for the work and Paul s price was very competitive, but equally important, he and his team were a pleasure to have work in our home. We are 100% satisfied and now my wife wants to paint more rooms because we found Paul and Central Jersey Painting. They trustworthy and we are lucky to have found them through Homeadvisor. A+++"

"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.
