"Shamrock Painting did a great job on the interior of my mother's 3-bedroom house in Riverdale, which I have been preparing to put on the market. Kevin and his team did an outstanding job repairing the walls and ceilings - there was decades worth of peeling paint, staples and nails, holes, tape and glue, water damage and other stains everywhere - and repainting them. They did not take any shortcuts and were highly professional in their tools, materials and techniques, and in communications about the work. Now the walls and ceilings are perfect and the house looks really good! Moreover, their price was extremely reasonable. Shamrock Painting has my highest recommendation."

"We hired MH Painting to repair several large cracks on walls and ceiling, to paint 3 rooms including a bedroom where he sanded and refinished the floor, to paint our hallway and paint and refinish several doors. He also painted our staircase. Matt did an excellent job! He was very skilled and accommodating. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely call on MHPainting for future projects."

Small jobs welcome

"Chris from Fourth Wall Painting arrived in a timely fashion for each visit, from the initial estimate inspection to each of the 2 days allotted for the project. Being busy around the holidays, I appreciated that Chris was flexible regarding scheduling, even offering to get the job done as quickly as possible - and on top of being summoned for jury duty as well! He did excellent work repainting my current rental to my exact specifications, and did a thorough job of attending to touch-ups and cleaning up after completion. He even taught me the trick for setting my door latch to automatically lock! I will hire Chris again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend him to anyone with a project they wish to have completed efficiently, on time, and for a fair price."

"After getting a few bids from companies to paint a 2 bedroom apartment, we decided to go with Precision Painting. Working with Ross and John, we felt very comfortable with their attention to detail, quick response to questions and the expected turnaround for completion. They actually finished a day earlier than scheduled. We were so pleased that we had them paint the building's hallways. This is a project that we had started but had been derailed by the pandemic. 2 different colors, stair ballasts, moldings for a 3-story building - all beautifully completed on schedule and within the estimated cost. I'd highly recommend them for any similar project you have in mind."

FAQs for painting projects in Brooklyn, 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.
