"Had no idea who to go to for painting. My brother told me to look on HomeAdvisor. JV had a ton of good reviews so I emailed them for a quote. James called me just a couple minutes later and set up a time to come by. He gave me a rough estimate on the phone and to my surprise the real estimate after he came over to look was lower. It was a small job, just trim around a couple doors I had put in and also painting a door, so I wasn t sure if he would even want it or if it was worth his time, but he said no job is too small and he would be happy to do it. He showed up on time and did a great job. I would definitely hire them again."

"Brian and his team Precision Paint did an amazing job scraping off the old paint and then painting the wood areas around the 3rd floor exterior area of my house. Very professional team and the price couldn’t be beat. You can see the before and after photos."

"Could not have been better! Excellent work He was very neat, organized and the finished area looks terrific. The lady who came to do the estimate was on time and polite. The area that was painted had lots of edge work that needed to be done very neatly and it was all very well done. This company is very "busy" and I had to wait a bit to get it done but having done so it was well worth it! I cannot find enough words to review this excellent company. I will absolutely ask them again to do my next interior painting job."

"Reyes Painting repainted our garage, which has high ceilings and included a loft. They removed old tape, re-taped, spackled, sanded, primed and applied 2x paint. They did a fantastic job!!! Our garage looks brand new. The PM was there at least 3x's every day checking on the progress. I HIGHLY recommend them for whatever painting you need."

FAQs for painting projects in Syracuse, 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.
