"If you're looking to hire a painter, don't walk -- run and hire Jose Rosales! Jose, Jose Jr. and their crew could not have provided a better experience for me and my family! Besides doing incredible work at a very competitive price, they are as professional and friendly as any vendor I've ever hired. I had them paint the entire outside of my two-story home, and had them replace a large amount of rotted trim wood. They also repaired and painted rain damaged walls and ceilings in my house, and lastly, painted our French doors and two bedrooms. Everything was done on time and with great care. You can tell that Jose only hires painters with a strong work ethic, as they were always on time (or early), always polite, and always eager to make sure we were happy with the work. At the end of every day they cleaned up immaculately. Again, I couldn't have had a better experience with Jose and his team, and I would hire them again without hesitation. 5 Stars!!"

"Excellent. Rick Jamison Painting did an amazing stain job on our new wood garage doors. They were able to sand and stain all our current gates to match back to new garage. Very professional, friendly and reliable company. I would highly recommend."

"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!"

"The painting job went great. The two painters, Lester and Carlos, showed up promptly at 8am each day and kept me informed regarding the work for the day. The whole project took 3 days. My main concern was for my master bedroom, which had some spots and wear and tear on the walls. Lester addressed the issue with priming the walls and painting. They helped me move furniture away from the walls and put it back after painting."

"John is very friendly and professional, he and his crew are amazing and fast. I can't believe how quickly they got the whole house painted, and you wont get a better deal with anyone else. We got 6 bids for the job on our house, and his bid beat all competitors by a landslide. Most of the bids we got were for $12-$15K, he did our house for only $5K!! I still can't believe the deal he gave us."

"The paint job looks great. Diego did miss a closet initially but came back and painted it as soon as I pointed it out. I would definitely recommend him to other clients."

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.
