"RNL painting came highly recommended from a friend of mine. With a new baby on the way it was hard to get the room painted on our own. We were so pleased with how the baby's room came out that we hired Rob to paint the remaining interior of our home. We love the warm and inviting vibe our home has thanks to RNL Painting. We highly recommend his services!"

"Eric refinished our garage door and back porch steps which were in rough shape. He also painted the trim and shutters. It was a big job and required a lot of sanding, scraping and putty work. We are very happy with his work. He takes his time, does careful prep and paints neatly. No slops on the windows. The garage door and steps look like new. We will use him again. He is honest and trustworthy. A week later we asked him to come back and refinish our 60-year-old knotty pine kitchen cabinets. He did a fantastic job on him and they look like new now"

"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!"

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.
