"Nathan was great to work with during all phases of the project - from the appointment to quote the job to completing the job. His crew was very diligent about the work, and took care of any issues I mentioned during the process. Nathan came out again a couple weeks after the job was done to take care of a minor issue. He and his employee went above and beyond to take care of all the outstanding items. I would definitely hire them again for any painting needs."

"Jay’s painting crew did a phenomenal job prepping and painting our house. They were very meticulously organized and looked at details that needed work before painting. They found dry rots that I didn’t even know it was there until they pointed it out. I really appreciate that they were very honest on the pricing of everything they replaced. Jay even helped us and suggested painting option. They catered to all the things we asked for and more. Overall work was fantastic and price was great! I give Jays paint services 5 full star!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Davis, 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.
