"Statewide Painting was very reliable and thorough. They did a beautiful job painting my house and barn, as well as replaced some rotted trim. They were very responsive to any questions or concerns I had and their pricing was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them and use them again."

"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+"

"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."

"Franklin Painting's team did an incredible job in our house. We moved into our little home last June and simply sat with the old painting job that had been lovingly done by the last family (and perhaps the family before that). But every time I'd walk through the house, I'd see the atrocious patches that had been done by previous owners. Under the wrong lighting conditions, the home looked like a patchwork doll that was well-loved but probably needed a good refresh (or needed to be replaced). When Franklin stopped by for the initial walkthrough, he assured me that his team could make our house look "almost brand new" and he delivered! The team restored and updated all of our walls and the ceilings in each room for a cost that seemed extraordinarily reasonable. And the end result was (and is) a home that my wife and I happily return to every day. No patches visible, walls restored. We feel like we're living in a new home! We'll happily use Franklin and his team again (and again) in the future."

Customers say: True professional

"Treat yourself to luxury. You will get quality painting at a more than reasonable price. I had always thought that the painters that I used about 10 years ago did a good job; and they did. But that work can hardly compare to the end product of these painters. Simply put, the walls of my 37 year old condo look refreshingly new again. Rich helped me decide how I wanted the walls, ceilings, and trims painted. Then his crew performed miracles on my condo walls. No more dents, cracks, or flaws on my walls. Because of their careful preparation, there was not a drop of paint out of place once they were finished. And during the painting, their attention to detail was truly unmatched. As I continue to admire their work, I keep looking for that one thing that they might have forgotten to do. Well, I haven't found it yet. Not only do they excel at their work, they were a pleasure to have in my home. I will soon be moving, otherwise I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Tom and Matt did an outstanding job refinishing the hardwood floors in my 100-yr-old house. Their work is clean and meticulous. Before sanding, they covered all walls and countertops with sheets of plastic and taped up all gaps beneath doors to prevent sawdust from getting into other parts of the house. It took a while, but they were able to remove most of the old pet urine stains in the hardwood floor of the kitchen. They even took the time to hand-sand between coats of polyurethane. You can't go wrong with these guys. They're conscientious, seem to take great pride in their work, and offer really fair pricing. In addition to refinishing the floors, they're painting several rooms and will also be painting the exterior of my house when it gets a little warmer."

FAQs for painting projects in Whitehouse, 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.
