"Riveraâ s Quality Painting should be called Riveraâ s Perfect Painting. These men are very skilled at making sure everything is handled professionally, cleanly, thoroughly and put back in place pristine. The gentlemen are very hard workers and did everything exactly to our specifications in a timely manner. They showed up on time each day for work and the result exceeded our expectations by far. My 20 year old home looks new and I have multiple jobs lined up for them in the near future on the interior as they do exterior, interior, cabinetry, stain etc. I am over the moon pleased and grateful."

"We recently hired Falfanys Painting to install luxury vinyl flooring and paint the interior of our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Their team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail throughout the entire process. Not only did they handle the flooring installation flawlessly, but they also installed and painted all the baseboards, which really tied the whole look together. The quality of their work was top-notch, and they made sure everything was clean and precise before finishing up. If you’re looking for reliable, skilled professionals for flooring or painting, I highly recommend Falfanys Painting. They transformed our home and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Pictures show before and after!"

"Smooth as can be. Ramon and team arrived early AM, as scheduled, and went right to work. Project involved concrete prep, several coats of stain and then sealer. It all happened over 2 days and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I am considering doing my back patio, and will definitely use Ramon Reyes Painting again."

FAQs for painting projects in Desert Hot Springs, 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.
