"When I went looking for someone to paint my home, I found it confusing and a bit daunting that there were so many painting companies in Tucson. I picked Arizona Painting Company because of the excellent customer service they brought to the process. They did a complete inspection of my home, pointing out issues that needed to be addressed, then gave me a comparable quote that I decided on over anyone else. The inspector/sales representative then gave me a tentative date to start the project. I was contacted by Arizona Painting Company 2 weeks earlier than the quote date to schedule the complete painting of my home which consisted of the whole exterior including the running board around the eves, the garage door, and the front door. They patched all the stucco and holes in the walls and accepted the color choices I gave them since I live in an HOA community. They assigned me an excellent individual to manage the project. Rene Gonzalez texted me every day to let me know when they would be arriving, did all the preparation on the home, and painted my home in less than three (3) days. I am ecstatic about the results. This Company is top-notch. From start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend them for your external and internal painting needs."

"DNA custom painting did a wonderful job on painting the outside of my tiny home. My house had a lot of sun damage and needed hours of scraping, chalking and some additional boards to secure warped siding. Nestor helped with picking the perfect paint and color. The work was done carefully throughout. I love the fresh look on my home! Highly recommend!"

"Bob's crew James, Caesar, and Andress did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our stucco home for a great price for the quality work they do. Caulked around doors, windows, everything that was cracked and exposed to the weather. They use quality material from Sherman Williams, a new product Flex Temp designed around the Arizona desert climate. They took 3 1/2 days for our 1800 sq ft single story home to make sure the job was done right in 105 deg. temperature. They used light and heavy build primer after pressure washing of coarse. Several coats of paint on the walls 1st then several coats over that for the trim. If you want an inexpensive blow and go paint job don't call Painting Green, they don't do them."

"Luis was very quick to reply & come out for a quote. He was able to come in and complete the job within a week. Workers were prompt & courteous & did a great job. After the first day I decided that I didn't like one of the wall colors I had chosen. I texted Luis the next morning, & his team showed up with the new paint & re painted the wall for me that same morning. He even picked up my requested paint from four different stores for me. They cleaned up completely after the work was finished. The price seemed a bit high to me at first, but as I have found out after many years of bad contractors in my home, you get what you pay for. The amount paid was well worth the quality of services provided, & I would absolutely recommend this company & would hire them again in the future.

"I initially obtained 7 bids from painting contractors and David's was the only one to include current insurance and licensing documentation. He was also the least critical of the project and the most willing to accommodate my somewhat unique needs. While not the least expensive bid, I felt it was fair, that I could trust what he committed to do and I was not disappointed. David's crew did a great job and were extremely pleasant to work with. I am hoping to hear back from David someday to bid painting the exterior of my home next! ;o"

FAQs for painting projects in Cortaro, AZ

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.
