"Jeremy has done multiple jobs for me both at my home and at my office. He has been my painter for over 10 years. He has painted both interior and exterior. He has painted cabinets three times for me. He has stained and finished my front door at my home. I would definitely recommend Jeremy for any project you might have."

Customers say: Quality work

"Victor was such a pleasure to work with for all of my home improvements. He was very professional and attentive to details. He made sure that I was happy with the work and helped me find the right solutions. He was able to prep and paint my 3 car garage floor with epxoy, he helped remove some cabinetry and paint several large wall spanning my kitchen/living room, did an abosolutely awesome job scraping down the sides of the house before painting it with some awesome colors, and finally helped me sand, replace parts of, and painted our deck out back. They really did a great job and I hihgly recommend them for anyone looking for a quality paint job. Thanks again for everything Victor and team!"

"Ernie, the Foreman for Valley Painters & Services provided us a competitive bid to paint our kitchen. We decided on a date to do the work. Ernie & Valley's painter was right on time. The two discussed & confirmed the steps in the process. The painter started by masking & covering all areas not to be exposed to paint. He thoroughly cleaned the 20 years of accumulated grease off the walls & ceiling. Once he finished painting, he asked me to inspect his work. His attention to detail was beyond approach. In case you ever need professional painting done for a reasonable price, Valley Custom Painters & Service is your 'Go-To' painters."

"Jeremy McMahon is the consummate professional and his work is an exquisite representation of the personal touch. He takes pride in all that he does, and then goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction. We know this to be true. When we hired Jeremy, he came to our home and treated us with kindness and consideration. He is personable and honest. The estimate he provided for complete kitchen cabinet resurfacing was very reasonable. He made certain to let us take a full day, after completion of the project, to look over everything carefully. When we found that some of the doors of our 30-year-old cabinets needed an extra coat of paint, Jeremy was quick to comply and let us now customer satisfaction was of primary importance. Jeremy McMahon is a trustworthy, honest, and dedicated person--and his quality of work is an extension of his wonderful character. He made 30-year-old veneer look magical! Thank you Jeremy for your patience and consideration. We think the cabinets look fantastic. We would hire Jeremy for additional work around our home."

FAQs for painting projects in Bakersfield, CA

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.
