"Sergio and Berto were quick, responsive and professional! I love how my accent wall came out and saved me a ton of time being that I have an 18 month old. It looks beautiful and clean. I am planning on using them in the near future for other Painting jobs around my home. Thank you guys!!!!"

"I recently hired 360 Painting of York to paint the first floor within my house. The job was completed within 6 days, including prep work (my house had not been painted in over 10 years, so lots of prepping was required), priming (I went from dark walls to a pastel shade), painting (I have very high ceilings in multiple areas) and clean up. 360 Painting did an amazing job! Jen and Gabeâ s attention to detail is incredible. Once the project officially began, their customer focused approach to quality and satisfaction was top notch and epitomized professionalism. The only reason I did not give five stars across the board was the time it took to get started was beyond the original time frame. However, after seeing the completed job, I am a very happy customer and will be returning to 360 Painting of York for my next project in the near future."

"Ivan and his sonâ s were very meticulous with their work. Our large deck was done painted very professionally. The deck went from creaky and unstable to very solid. They did not spare any expense on fixing and reinforcing it. We love having our cookouts and spending warm evenings out there."

"DnB was good with a complicated job here of using 5 different paint colors and 2 different stain colors all in close quarters, along with three or four areas of drywall that were a mess from prior contractor. Also they met their timing commitment to the very day that they promised arrival (two months prior)."

FAQs for painting projects in Lancaster, 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.
