"I highly recommend Jose's Painting L.A. I contracted with them to paint my 2.5 story craftsman home with a lot of detail and they did a beautiful job. I loved the fact that I received a fast itemized quote so I knew exactly what to expect. The workers were all professional and courteous. Also the work area was cleaned up everyday before they left. I would definitely use them again."

"It went perfectly. Rick Jamison Painting's employees were here on time, they worked with us on the "look" of the garage door, and simply did a beautiful job. We were very happy with the results, and will be looking to Rick Jamison painting for all our custom painting work from now on! Jane McGregor"

"I hired Star Painting and Decoration to stain a new fence I had put up on my property. Alvaro and his crew were fantastic! They always showed up on time and did a great job. The fence looks incredible. Will definitely hire again. Thanks Star Painting!"

"We just had the exterior of our house painted & it looks fabulous! A couple of years ago the CertaPro team also painted the interiors which continue to look great. It really has been a pleasure to work with John Villar & his team on both projects. The process from start to finish went so well each time - great people, professional & such precise painting. We much appreciate all John's team did to make our home beautiful inside & out!"

"It went extremely well. Mr. White gave me a great price. He came by the next day after agreeing on price and start date and power washed the entire house. Looked for repairs that may be needed as well. Told me his crew would be here the following morning at 7:00am they were here about 6:45 am. They started working quickly and efficiently at sanding, filling stucco, checking for things that needed attention. Then began the actual painting around 11:00am. They prepped by covering my neighbors vehicles a fence as well to ensure that there wasn't any paint flying away anywhere. Paid very close attention to detail. They finished late afternoon and cleaned up behind themselves. Left me extra paint as well. There is a four year warranty on the job too! Mr. White helped me with the decision of exactly what paints I wanted and they blend very well. I chose a nice gray with black trim and went big and had my doors painted a fire engine red! Saw a few things I wanted touched up when he was by on Friday for payment and he sent someone out that very day to take care of. The house was painted on a Wednesday. I would have figured that a contractor would have been waiting at my door on Wednesday afternoon for payment. He gave me plenty of time to walk around look at and make comment. Was an extremely easy experience. The entire crew was courteous and worked very hard all day!"

"Couldn't ask for more from Daniel, his sons and his crew. They were all very professional and we extremely pleased with the exterior painting to our home. We couldn't decide on the colors we wanted, so Daniel came to our home to help. We went with the colors he suggested and couldn't be happier. On the first day, Daniel, two of his sons, and about 7 workers showed up, on time, and got busy. In addition to the power wash, we were amazed how much prep work they finished. The prep work took the most time and Daniel's crew did a great job patching the stucco, sanding the window sills and glazing the windows. At the end of each day, we appreciated that the workers cleaned up thoroughly. If you're looking for a painting contractor who is honest, hard working, reliable and stops by every day to ensure the work is being done correctly, I highly recommend Daniel Clark and his team. Thank you again for a job well done, Daniel. I'm sure our neighbors will be contacting you soon to get a quote. Best, Ed P. & Kevin M."

I would hire them again and the best thing wss they did not play music all day---perfection1"

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.
