"We highly recommend A+ Painting and will use them again for future painting projects. They painted a bedroom- bathroom wing consisting of a Master bedroom and bath, guest bedroom and bath and a hallway. They were on-time, very professional, provided a superior painting service and cleaned up everything spotlessly. They finished the job ahead of schedule with no change orders. Definitely a 5+ star review for this business."

"Rolando wants to provide the best results and makes excellent recommendations that you should consider and discuss. Lower cost (cheaper paints) don’t necessarily give you the best or lasting results. His team is very meticulous and does a great job in prepping and cleanup."

"Jose and his team were excellent. We had the exterior of our San Jose home painted. Jose responded to our request for quote immediately and responded promptly to every email and text and call with thorough answers to all questions we had. He and his team arrived promptly when they said they would and completed the job ahead of schedule and the house looks beautiful! Furthermore, Jose's prices beat his competitors by a landslide. Jose and team, thank you so much for your hard work! We will definitely be in touch for further painting jobs!"

"Great communication, very nice contract, professional, lays out what he will do. We have a flat roofed home, and we wanted the Fascia/eaves painted. They did what they said they'd do. Nice people. Has 3-year warranty. Other people were really slow getting back to us even after inspecting. One party said our job was too small. Brambilas was just right. Inspected, quote, agreed, arrived, done in 2 days."

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.
