"We had the entire interior of our home painted. The painters came in and prepped the house for two days before painting. They patched and taped all of the appropriate areas and then painted with two coats of paint. The results are fantastic and we are very pleased. We definitely recommend Top Quality Painting for interior painting services."

"After doing some research we found Jay’s Painting Service. We could not be happier with the exterior paint job the did. They transformed our house, which was looking a little rough, into some we are proud of. The crew was polite, professional and their attention to detail was top notch. They completed the job right in schedule. I highly recommend them for all your painting needs! Thank you guys so much!!"

"I highly recommend Dowell’s Painting, a contractor that was recommended to me. He did an amazing job painting my house, taking extra care to patch and caulk all the uneven areas before painting. He gave me choices in colors and finishes. The attention to detail really shows, what’s a difference… The finish is smooth, clean, and professional, and the place looks fantastic. Reliable, skilled, and thorough—couldn’t be happier with his work! Sonia S."

"My home was built in 1930; I'm not sure when the separate garage was built, but clearly is older.  The garage interior was not finished.  Caldwell installed pegboard on two walls & sheetrock on the other two.  A small window was eliminated which entailed matching the exterior lap board siding that is so common in East Sac older homes.  The other remaining "window" which only had a funky screen was updated.  A window was built with plexiglass so that I could close and latch it or leave it open for ventilation.  The workers also constructed a new window screen that can be removed.  The exterior siding patch was caulked and painted as well as the interior sheetrock.  

William came out within a couple of days to give me a bid on my project.  He had very helpful suggestions some of which I ended up using and, in the end, made for an improved finished product.  William has some fabulously skilled workers on his crew (Jim, Steve, Will in particular).  The entire job took 3.5 days to complete.  The workers cleaned up each day and kept me apprised of what was done and what will come next.  All the workers were on time, very personable and attentive to my concerns, answering any questions.  At the end of the job all debris and extra materials were hauled away or left with me (if I wanted them).  William stopped and checked the job progress making sure the construction was as we had agreed,  At the job completion, he walked the project with me making sure I was satisfied.  Everyone, including the office staff, are very professional.

I can highly recommend Caldwell Construction for any home project.  I have already hired them for an additional job!"

"Excellent! We have vaulted ceilings, and we refreshed the walls, ceilings, and trim throughout the interior. Tom suggested painting the outdated 80's wood fireplace trim a fresh white to modernize the look, and it looks great! The crew finished the work in two days, and were respectful and prompt. Would hire again next time we need paint-work."

"This was our second experience with Custom Application Painting. We had worked with them originally in July to repaint the interior of our home. I was so happy with the work they had done for us before, I couldn't wait to work with them again. Like before Custom Applications Painting took the time to understand what we wanted and made helpful suggestions. Because they did work on the inside of the home they were able to compliment the outside with new colors that tied the look of the home together. We have had several compliments from our neighbors on how nice the house looks. We will be working with Custom Applications Painting again!"

FAQs for painting projects in Drytown, 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.
