"After receiving bids from half a dozen contractors, we decided to go with Original Design Painting. We were not disappointed. The job was not easy. Our house is a semi-attached Victorian, covered with cedar siding that had long been ignored. The wood was extremely dry and the stain faded. Recep and his crew brought their enthusiastic efforts to the job, and now our 115 year old house looks beautiful. Recep was extremely helpful at every step of the way, from scoping out the work, to selecting colors, to starting on time, to final clean up. We heartily recommend Original Design."

"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

"We hired Old World Painting primarily for exterior wood staining, but also some interior work. Although the job took longer than expected, the workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding, and it was well worth the wait. The cost was also highly competitive. DJ, Angel, Carl, Josh, and Kareem contributed and were all professional and friendly. We will definitely hire them again."

"New Era Pro Painting was a great service provider. They arrived on time and cleaned up each day. They did a comprehensive prep, paint, clean up, walk thru and gave additional recommendations for future projects. I will use them again and recommend them to others in the family."

"I hired Heiler Painting to paint the exterior Foundation of my house and they did a great job from start to finish. CJ, who came to do the estimate was on time and kept me informed about the progress of wait time for the start of the job. They actually began sooner than originally expected. Nate and Silas, who did the work, were courteous, professional and careful. If I ever stop doing my own intervenor painting, I will definitely go back to them."

FAQs for painting projects in Media, 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.
