"Excellent Job! J&S Painting Plus Incorporated and his crew painted the exterior of our house. They did an amazing job! The business owner, office staff, and painters are professional, courteous, and friendly. The painters arrived every day at the same time and were very apologetic if the weather was not acceptable for them to paint on any given day. They also would keep us informed of the project status. We were very happy and satisfied with the service provided. We definitely will use them again. We highly recommend them for any painting job."

"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."

"He seemed to do a competent job, but I had some questions about how he advertised himself. He said he would take into consideration of that and change it. He said in his advertisement that there was a 5 year warranty, but then he said to me that is only if we did the original paint. What we did here was sand down the railings and put a coat of paint on it. That was a little disturbing to me. He said I will give you a one year warranty. He said you call me in a year, and if it doesn't look good, I'll paint it over. That is what he said, but then why did he have 5 year warranty in his advertisement? That was really the only issue I had. I gave him a B overall, because of that misunderstanding. We will see how well it turns out in a year. He was prompt. He came to give me an assessment to see how much it would cost. When he came to paint, there was a little confusion about the starting date. So he actually started earlier when we weren't even home. That I would chalk up to a misunderstanding. Something that could be improved upon I would say if he changed that in his advertisement, and if in a year from now the paint still head up on the iron railing I would give him a good review. But that is to be seen a year from now. On price, I looked at some other people and I don't know if he had one person or two people, but he managed to do it in one day. Other people were asking about the same amount. Something like that. Right now the quality looks okay. If he would have stood by the 5 year warranty, they I would have said that is excellent. If he wrote down 5 years, he called it a misunderstanding, but I read it at face value. He was very responsive. I didn't actually ask anybody who used him what their opinion was. Just the comments that were on the page. I guess in the future I would like to ask somebody who actually used the services before I commit. Usually that is how I operate. I would first look at somebody else first."

"My 1995 oak cabinets were painted white and the doors and drawer faces were replaced and then painted. They look beautiful! I also had a custom cabinet built along with a kitchen island. The craftsmanship is on point! My kitchen transformation looks amazing. I would definitely recommend Palette Pro!"

"Although Precision Painting Plus services a large area, I never felt lost in the shuffle. Requested help to paint master bedroom. Received immediate phone call to discuss project. Project manager then stopped by to talk particulars. Account manager organized every step of the process. Painters showed up when scheduled and left everything in order. I was very pleased with PPP from start to finish. Would definitely hire again"

"The work went exceptionally well. The work was professionally done and completed within the original estimates for time, cost and schedule. The work included repairing of plaster, painting of walls, floors and ceilings. Also a problem with existing shingles on the roof was repaired. Several good suggestions were made and used as to the materials to be used and how to best perform the work."

FAQs for painting projects in Dobbs Ferry, 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.
