"I was quite pleased how the overall job went. There is many choices when it comes to contracting a painting job for us homeowners. Many of us don't do not undertake such activities very often and as such it is easy to be mislead, over pay, or taken advantage of in some other way. After interviewing 4 painters I quickly decided upon Tom. His professionalism, attention to detail, taking the time to explain all the steps involved, and even providing some feedback on colors separated Tom from the others. His easy going attitude and sincere personality were quite refreshing and his patience at explaining things was most welcome. I expect to do a couple of more rooms in the future and will most definitely contract with Tom again."

"We are beyond grateful to Mike and his team at Purely Paint for the paint jobs they did on our bedrooms. They were professional from start to finish. Mike responded within an hour of me reaching out and after asking a few questions and requesting a few photos he provided a quote which was reasonable compared to his competitors. He provided his team’s availability and was able schedule the job within a week. He came to treat one of the more complex walls two days advance and the had his team complete the main job which they were able to complete in half a day. Notably, since we had chosen a dark navy color for the master bedroom they recommended a third coat of paint to ensure the quality of the color and went through the trouble of doing so even though it took them extra time. We could not be happier with results and will definitely be recommending Mike to all our family & friends!"

"I had a bathroom and dining room ceiling painted. Both needed repairs prior to painting. John was really good and I would definitely use JP painting again. Both my bathroom and dining room ceiling looked great. He was neat, cleaned up completely and there were no surprise costs or issues in the end."

"Great!! Scott and his team did a great job painting the exterior of our house. 3 story home so it was challenging. He used quality Benjamin Moore paint and matched the previous paint colors perfectly. He wrapped all the light fixtures and covered all the windows to avoid any paint splatter. They did a great job on all the window trims. They cleaned up like they were never there. Very happy with their work and we will use the for some interior projects that we are planning."

FAQs for painting projects in Cold Spring Harbor, 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.
