"I had my daughter's old bedroom painted from a deep dark turquoise to a light gray. The painter arrived on time, and did a wonderful job. He took off the light and outlet covers and made sure the items were there so when the paint dried I could put them back on. The price was as quote and they did an incredible job. I will never try and paint a room again myself."

"We needed a very large stone fireplace removed and then that area merged with 3 small closets to make a bedroom. Mike gave us an estimate up front, not knowing for sure what they would run into. The fireplace was huge (at least 4' x 4') and there were repairs to the foundation that needed to be made, but he managed to keep it within $1000 of the original budget. He also replaced several posts, stairs and railings on our outdoor deck stairs leading from our 2nd floor to our gazebo. That also came in pretty close to budget. He was able to get to the job within about 10 days of when I first called him. The workers were great... here on time every day and respectful of our home. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

FAQs for painting projects in Auburn, 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.
