"This was the second time I worked with Shecki and Jose. The first was painting the house exterior and it's still holding up well 5 years later. The second time was a re-staining of the deck. Work was done beautifully. Paint was neat, no streaks, carpentry was done well and we're very pleased with the end result. Pricing was a little high this time around. Hope that stabilizes in the future, would definitely look to work again with Shecki and Jose."

"We hired MH Painting to repair several large cracks on walls and ceiling, to paint 3 rooms including a bedroom where he sanded and refinished the floor, to paint our hallway and paint and refinish several doors. He also painted our staircase. Matt did an excellent job! He was very skilled and accommodating. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely call on MHPainting for future projects."

"I cannot recommend Palette Pro enough! From start to finish they were professional, on time, thorough and extremely neat and clean. William was the project manager and he handled the entire job seamlessly. This was our first time painting the exterior of our home and they could not have done a better job! The painters were amazing. They did the absolute best job and even fixed a prior job's mistakes that we had. I love the fact that they have many people at their finger tips depending on what you need. When we needed to fix some masonry work, they immediately had someone come to my home to take care of the job. We are beyond happy with the way the paint job turned out and would highly recommend Palette Pro and William to handle any of your renovations or house updates."

"These guys were a pleasure to work with. Nilton kept in tight communication and his guys were very responsive to requests and changes. They have an excellent eye and attention to detail. We even deferred to them for some paint color choices. We'd work with them again anytime."

"Great experience with Carlos and his crew painting my 1872 Victorian in Ridgefield. They spent several days prepping and sanding the exterior down to the wood. They re-glazed windows, removed and painted the wooden-framed window screens, and removed and painted the shutters as well. There was one section of wood rot that they replaced - all while staying within budget. No surprises. We went over all the details and expectations beforehand and I could not be happier with how my house is looking now. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have a daunting paint job. My house required several extremely tall ladders and these guys were up and down like it was nothing. Great crew, great work - top notch."

"Although Precision Painting Plus services a large area, I never felt lost in the shuffle. Requested help to paint master bedroom. Received immediate phone call to discuss project. Project manager then stopped by to talk particulars. Account manager organized every step of the process. Painters showed up when scheduled and left everything in order. I was very pleased with PPP from start to finish. Would definitely hire again"

"Michael is dependable and follows through with what he says heâ s going to do. Helped me select paint colors for outside of house and have gotten many compliments on the way it looks. This is a new business and Michael was very responsible and very helpful in all aspects of this project. His price for this work was reasonable and fair . You wonâ t be disappointed with his work. He has experience in the painting field having worked for his father and uncleâ s business."

"I have used Taurus Painting Services multiple times throughout my home’s many remodeling projects. This was a small project to paint walls and accent paint my foyer and stair risers leading to the second story. Steve communicates well and confirmed color choices and paint finishes before starting the project. He set eta’s and he and his small crew worked quietly and efficiently to complete the project as expected. All surfaces were prepped and furniture and flooring was either moved or protected. I highly recommend Taurus Painting Services for all your painting needs."

FAQs for painting projects in South Salem, 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.
