Hellertown is a tight-knit Northampton County borough just south of Bethlehem, and its housing stock tells the story of the region's 20th-century growth - craftsman bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s, solid cape cods built for returning veterans in the 1940s and 1950s, and a scattering of larger colonials along the hillside streets near Saucon Creek. The original baseboards in these homes are often wider and more detailed than anything you find in modern construction - real wood, sometimes 5 or 6 inches tall, with a stepped profile that catches the light beautifully when properly painted. The challenge is that 70 or 80 years of paint layers, settled floors, and seasonal wood movement create gaps, cracks, and peeling that need real prep work - not just a quick roll-over. Joseph Assise III Painting & Wallpapering has been handling exactly this kind of careful baseboard restoration and refresh throughout Hellertown for years.

"We have a 1930s bungalow on Constitution Avenue and the original baseboards were in rough shape - chipping paint, gaps everywhere. Joe's team prepped every inch before touching a brush. The finished result looks better than the day the house was built."
- Sandra H., Hellertown"Got quotes from three painters for the baseboard and trim work in our cape cod. Joseph Assise was the only one who talked about prep - caulking, sanding, the whole process. Worth every dollar. The rooms look completely transformed."
- Matt R., Hellertown"Fast, clean, and professional. They finished all the baseboards in our Hellertown home in a day and a half and you could not tell anyone had been in the house. No drips, no mess, just perfect white trim. Called them back for the kitchen the following month."
- Diane K., HellertownBaseboard painting in Hellertown typically runs $150 to $300 for a single room and $800 to $2,400 for a full home, depending on linear footage, the condition of existing paint, and whether casing and door trim are included. All quotes include caulking and prep.
Many Hellertown craftsman bungalows and cape cods have tall, detailed original baseboards that were installed before modern paint technology. We carefully strip loose paint, stabilize any peeling layers, fill gaps, and apply a period-appropriate semi-gloss finish that protects the wood while honoring the original character of the home.
Semi-gloss is our standard recommendation for baseboards throughout Hellertown. It holds up to scuffing and cleaning, and contrasts beautifully with flat or eggshell walls. For the ornate original woodwork in older Hellertown homes, we use a waterborne alkyd for a harder, enamel-like finish.
Yes - proper prep is the most important part of any baseboard job. We caulk all gaps between the baseboard and wall and between the baseboard and floor, fill nail holes and cracks, and sand or degloss the surface before applying any paint. This is especially important in Hellertown's older homes where wood has settled and gaps have widened over decades.
