"The entire process of having my deck and window medallion painted by Image Works was extremely positive. Everyone who helped me with this painting project was very professional and helpful. Kaylyn in customer service, Nate who came out and gave me the quote, Rick who did the power washing, Rege who helped me choose paint color and Max who did the painting all were wonderful! I highly recommend Imagine Works this is my second time using them and I will continue to use them for my painting needs."

They addressed all the issues we discussed in the contract and the result is a clean, refreshed inside and outside."

"John Sr. met with us on a Friday. He gave us information on a Sherwin Williams product that is a painted stain. There was a huge selection of colors and we picked one to match. He gave us an estimate on the painting project and a driveway sealant project. The estimate was an extremely good deal for the work. We called a few hours later to confirm we wanted them to do the work. John and his son Johnny came on Tuesday. His son was just as polite and courteous as his Dad. The job was finished in one day. Their work was very professional and they made sure we were completely satisfied. We are very pleased with both the shed and the driveway. We would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for painting projects in New Kensington, 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.
