"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"I had the pleasure of hiring Mayron to restore my water-damaged kitchen. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent craftsmanship surpassed all expectations. They seamlessly put walls and cabinets back together, installed new lighting and tile, and painted with precision. Impressed with their work, I also had them redo my bathroom. The team was punctual, friendly, and their exceptional skills made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend this painter for top-notch painting, and renovation services."

"I hired Filippo and his team to paint my apartment and couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. They showed up on time, came fully prepared, and got straight to work. The prep work was thorough — they carefully covered all my furniture and floors, taped off trim and edges, and patched a few small wall imperfections before even picking up a brush. The attention to detail really showed. The quality of the painting itself is excellent. The coverage is even, the lines are crisp and clean, and every corner and edge looks professional. They did a beautiful job working around outlets, trim, and fixtures without leaving a single drip or smudge. The crew was respectful of my space, kept the mess to a minimum, and cleaned up completely before leaving each day. The job was finished on schedule and right on budget. My apartment looks completely transformed. I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects."

"We contacted Rhino to paint a room on short notice. He responded quickly and was able to accommodate our timeframe at a very reasonable price. The day of the job he arrived right on schedule and did a great job painting. He's very friendly and it's easy to see that he takes pride in his work. We've received several compliments on how good the room looks. We will definitely call Jo again for our next painting project!"

"What started out as a small window pane replacement job worked it's way into many other jobs. Cesar repaired my front steps and backyard patio. He painted: basement floor, pipes, stairwell walls and steps, painted the quest room, repaired and painted damaged ceilings, replaced damaged wallpaper, fixed open seams of wallpaper. He's coming back to repair and paint back foyer walls, woodwork and doors. His man will be sanding polyurethane my wood floor in the toy room. His work was good and neat. He removed all unwanted material and if I needed a small unplanned job, he did it without charging. He is very respectful and has a kind heart. I have recommended him to friends."

FAQs for painting projects in Union City, 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.
