"Wing Painting was able to squeeze in my paint job on just a few days notice, and Zack did a fantastic job on my daughter’s bedroom. He was both quick and professional. I have a much larger painting project in the future and for sure I will hire again."

"Joe turned three very imperfect ceilings in an 80 year old home into a work of perfection. His skills are 2nd to none. Joe was a pleasure to have in my home, neat, very polite, talked about his two boys and wife, and I am searching for other projects to have him back. There is more to your project than price. Joe made it a nice experience for me."

"Gary and crew of three arrived early every day and got the project done ahead of schedule. Gary was on-site for the entire project and resolved unexpected issues after wallpaper removal. He even went the extra mile and painted an upstairs hallway that adjoined a space that had wallpaper removed. He said it just wouldn't look right if that was not painted. Cleanup was thorough and even had trash out at the curb in time for pickup. Highly recommend DeLuca Painters!"

"Wonderful…I would definitely use his services again. He took extra care to cover all items. He was even helpful in the decision of the paint color for the bedroom. He had all the equipment needed for the jobs. The job took a few days and he made sure to clean up everyday. Glad I chose this company, he did a tremendous job. I am loving the new colors."

"For me to give a 5 star rating the job has to be perfect. I give these guys a 4.7 star rating. I'm very happy with the results, there were minor things that I needed to do that affected the rating. Paint or joint compound on the windows ( came off easily with a razor blade), paint droppings on the concrete for example. All the guys that were involved were excellent. Bottom line, I would use them again and would recommend them."

"Rick and his team did a fantastic job with my exterior paint job! I am so relieved that this job got done! I have wood shakes and they needed repairing and restoring along with the painting. Rick and his team did the repair work as well as the paint job--all for a reasonable price. They are a trustworthy team and Rick runs a tight ship, yet he treats his workers well and they do good work as a result! I was truly happy with the job they did and I was very impressed! They painted my house in 2012 and I hired them again in 2022! Why shop around when you have a reliable team."

FAQs for painting projects in Amherst, NY

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.
