"Very highly recommend! We initially hired them to paint over a custom paint job from previous owner. They did such a beautiful job that we hired them for the entire interior of our home. They work as a painting team and worked very hard, moving furniture, painting walls, high ceilings and trim. They made two trips to bring paint samples when we expanded the job. Great communication and excellent work!"

"Needed to sand and stain a mid-century style wood ceiling on a short timeline due to other work scheduled immediately after the project. Rubumco did an excellent job of prepping all the rooms, carefully protecting the existing painting walls, before they carefully sanded with dust collection equipment to keep everything clean. They did a great job of touching up ceiling beams and making crisp paint lines to make the ceiling really pop. Will definitely use Rubumco in the future for other paint work."

"Miguel was extremely professional contractor. The quality of his work is perfect. He goes above and beyond. I had other quotes and they where ridiculous. he was available when I would call with questions. I will hopefully have him to paint the rest of inside home winter. He is extremely busy but we live in Washington hard to determine outside paint days this. Miquel does his best to paint outside on days he knows it will not rain. Grateful to find someone you truly can rely to be reliable and do a great job. Northwest Accurate painting. Thankful Tami Northup"

"The crew started with a large 2-story 1975 wood house that had been badly scrapped & painted multiple times. Mario arranged for a skilled carpenter to re-build & replace rotten wood. His crew worked tirelessly to sand, fill and paint with a white semigloss paint. White and semigloss showed every imperfection. The crew went back to re-sand and re-paint spots. They repaired the stuccoed chimney. It was a labor intense project. Today, the house looks beautiful. Mario gently listened and then executed my detailed request. Mario is professional and easy to work with."

"We had our 17 year old custom cherry kitchen cabinets painted in a week (69 doors/drawers and the boxes along with a wine rack). Shawn and his team were courteous, professional, clean and on-time. They tented the whole kitchen from floor to ceiling along with papering the trail to the front door and bathroom. They also used our garage for their prep and paint booth so they masked the entire garage along with papering the floor and build a small paint booth in the corner for containment. Shawn supervised the team along with working side by side with them to help mentor the team. There was an issue with the initial paint type so Shawn went to the supplier to get more information which led to a change in the product (a better product) and the paint sales rep came on site a couple of days later to check on us during the project (not just Shawn). Towards the end of the project the team spent time to make sure there was no over-spray on the existing walls and did some touch up where a previous painter had missed some spots. On the last day when we were putting the doors/drawers back on the boxes, Shawn noticed a couple of areas he wasn't happy with and resanded and sprayed those doors. At the end all of the tent and masking were hauled off site and floors wiped down leaving no trace that they were ever there! Shawn and his team did an amazing job and we already have friend that want them to paint their cabinets!"

"David was very good at fixing any concerns that I had. The job was done very quickly. My only complaint and I kind of feel like I'm being picky, is that they did not clean up all of the paint pieces that came off the house. I believe anyone would be happy if they chose David to paint their house."

"Total Innovation Partners gave us a quote in a matter of days. Their bid was lower than others we requested. The crew pressure washed our home and painted a couple of days later. They were super nice and professional and the painting turned out great."

FAQs for painting projects in Arlington, WA

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.
