"This was an exemplary and professional job. The staff, painters, carpenters and managers were on the job until complete. Constant contact, updates and suggestions. Ernesto, Alberto and Gian were central to the success of this project. They truly are King of the Painters, bar non. Hard workers, diligent worker and professional workers. Work well together and helped each other achieve maximum performance and effect. My wife and I loved the end results and so do my neighbors. Thank you, The King of Painters, a job well done!"

"I can't recommend Henry's Professional Painting highly enough! If 10 stars were possible, they would get 10 from me. My old home hadn't been painted in decades. It needed lots of stucco repair and prep work. Tommy and his crew did a fantastic job! My house looks beautiful! I am just thrilled with their work. They finished a day earlier than expected. Henry, Tommy and Sara patiently answered all of my questions and were super nice folks all the way through. I will definitely hire them again."

"Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted by our stucco and wood trim on the entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on the stucco walls and wood fascia and I have not even considered touch up painting if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work provided is proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering the a great product and service. Nick"

"We are very happy with our experience with Ron Rice Painting and Consulting. Our exterior stairs needed to be painted. Ron took the time to listen to what we wanted. He considered if what we wanted would work with the style and color of our home and used his years of professional experience to steer us toward a color. He painted three samples of the color family which we mulled on for a week or so before we selected the one that ended up on our exterior stairs. While we were considering paint, Ron advised us to use stain instead of paint to avoid wood rot in the future. The painter arrived on time and did a terrific job. He painted the railing leading up to the stairs for a cohesive look. The painter also took care of a few miscellaneous posts that needed to be painted. Ron suggested a fantastic color for our security screen that complimented the exterior stairs as well as the overall look of our home. In fact, we liked it so much that we painted three other doors the same color. We are very pleased with our overall experience. From color selection to putting up the finished product, Ron Rice Painting and Consulting did an amazing job."

FAQs for painting projects in Descanso, 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.
