"We are so pleased with the quality painting work performed by the team at G & G Pro Painting. We appreciate the detailed work G & G Pro Painting did. They put significant time into the preparation of the walls, ceiling and trim. Now our walls and ceiling surfaces look brand-new! Brian and his crew work well together and work efficiently. The team is polite. They took care to cover our furniture and floors. It was a pleasure to have them working in our home."

"Mr Kâ s painting and remodeling is outstanding. Their quality of work, attention to detail and overall customer service is exceptional. We have a 3 story Victorian home that needed a tremendous amount of prep work before the painting. In addition, we had several different colors of paint that needed to be applied. Mr Kâ s team did a wonderful job and our home looks absolutely beautiful!! We highly recommend Mr Kâ s!!"

"I was very impressed with Darlcom when I hired them. The owner, Steven Darling, is diligent and honest. He gave me a very reasonable quote for the exterior painting of my house, performed beyond expectations, and his crew members were extremely polite and on time every day until the job was done. It was refreshing to meet a crew with such passion, and incredible work ethic, something rarely seen nowadays. I will be rehiring them for the interior of my house, along with many other projects to come."

FAQs for painting projects in Ghent, 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.
