"I've been a successful Realtor in NW Philadelphia for almost 40 years and meet vendors, contractors, estimators, etc. all the time. However, so glad I met these guys for my own home. They are masters at their craft and I am now a fan! Dj, Craig, Kareem and Taion, Raphique, Daquan are nothing but wonderful not only as humans but also at details. Hired Old World Painters to paint the exterior of our 3 floor Victorian, that hadn't been painted in a few decades. So glad we went with OWP. They always arrived right on time, and worked tirelessly to get the job done. Particularly impressed with the amount of prep work involved to get the house ready for painting. We also had them replace a few cracked window panes, do some stucco repair and reglaze all of our original windows. The results are like night and day. Love the way the house looks!"

"Interior wall and ceiling painting Primer was not used which necessitated the purchase of another gallon of paint at $60 a gallon. Repair of surface imperfections was not done well. Suction equipment was not used with sanding and dust traveled throughout the entire house."

FAQs for painting projects in Elkins Park, PA

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.
