"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."

"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+"

"Benny did an outstanding job repairing and painting ceilings throughout our home, including challenging cathedral ceilings in our foyer and family room. From start to finish, Benny was professional, personable, and extremely reliable. He was always punctual, kept the work areas clean and organized, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of his workmanship was outstanding, and the repairs and paint finish look excellent throughout the house. Most importantly, Benny completed the project on time and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional who is skilled, dependable, and thorough. We highly recommend him and would not hesitate to hire EMB Construction again for future projects."

FAQs for painting projects in South Brunswick, 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.
