"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."

"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."

"I'm very detail oriented (probably anal retentive) and have had painters in the past who haven't done a great job and they paint "outside the lines."  I hired Mark last year to paint the downstairs and was so impressed with him that I hired him again for the upstairs and our screened in porch.  
Mark and his crew are so meticulous that someone like me had a hard time finding any issues!  They patched old phone jacks that weren't needed anymore, painted baseboards, ceilings, walls, doors, and windows.  Before leaving for the day, Mark would say to me, "let me know if you see any issues and I will fix them tomorrow."  He knew that I was anal retentive and had the patience to deal with me but like I said, I had a hard time finding any issues.  However, if I did find anything, he immediately fixed it with no issue.
He was extremely professional and easy to work with.  He definitely aims to please his customers with the quality of work that he does.  I would recommend him to anyone!

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."

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.
