"Entire job completed professionally and in a timely manner. The crew was amazing, the finished paint is immaculate. Patrick checked in every day to make sure everything was running smoothly and his crew had everything they needed. We couldn't be happier. We're going to have them paint my mother's house next. I recommend them highly."

"We recently hired Saul at SB Painting Company to paint the entire interior of our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Saul was wonderful to work with—professional, efficient, and clearly takes pride in his work. The quality of the painting is excellent, and everything was done on time. His team was respectful of our home and made sure everything was left clean and neat. I highly recommend Saul and SB Painting Company to anyone looking for great quality and reliable service! We will be calling him back to get the outside of the house painted."

"We did a major home renovation that involved hiring 11 contractors. Juan at GM Painting was within our top 2. It is a real opportunity to work with him right now because his work is excellent, and he is growing his business, providing service way beyond his price point. Highlights include: - Quality of work. Completely dedicated to excellence. Initial consultation included artsy ideas like making accent walls, knowledge on what colors go together and the provision of color palettes to help make decisions. Juan has great eyes and can spot imperfections we could not see, which he fixed up. He genuinely wanted us just to love our space and help make it look as good as possible. He also retouched many shots after we moved in and dinged the walls. - Multiple skills. Juan painted our interior walls, finished the wooden stair posts and banisters, refinished 100 year old doors that has been painted a few too many times, and noticed that our basement was unfinished concrete. He epoxy coated the basement for us, the best value improvement to our finish work. One of our contractors also dinged a bathroom vanity. I asked him to help with this and he made it like new, doing big gouges with wood filler and matching with stain and finish. - Customer service. Impeccable. Juan is one of the most thoughtful people we have met. Communicates very clearly, cares about people, very kind and lovely to work with. - Price. Unbeatable for the service offered. Presumably his prices can't stay at this point forever. He gave one of our lower bids while providing service beyond this price point. A real opportunity for anyone looking for a painter. We can't recommend GM Painting more highly."

"They did an excellent job of painting our kitchen cabinets and they now look great in creame instead of stained wood. They did all of the work in one week. They cleaned up the work site at the end of the job. Arrived punctually each day and had good communication with us on a daily basis."

"Josh and his father, Mark have completed several paint jobs for us. They repainted the exterior of our home, painted kitchen and bathroom cabinets, all of our baseboards, and our new stair railings and risers. Their work is truly impeccable. They pay close attention to detail and spend probably a third of their work prepping the area to be painted. Caulking, patching and sanding, I have learned,this makes such a huge difference on the appearance and durability of your project. The exterior of our home was so beautiful that some of our neighbors have already hired them to repaint their homes. Our cabinets and stair railings are stunning. They painted the stair posts then noticed some imperfections in the wood, so worked to patch, sand and repaint so the the final product was flawless. They are quick to respond to inquiries and their prices are very competitive with other larger companies we got quotes from. It is so hard to find honest, reliable and talented contractors and I will always recommend them and continue to use their services for future painting projects."

"Mike and his crew were early for the job, careful with details, worked very cleanly and cleaned up well. The performed the following: power wash exterior, scrape, caulk split wood, fill cracks in stucco and patch, spackle holes in wood fascia board, prime everything. Apply paint to full exterior of house (including fascia boards, window frames, stucco body, siding, gutters, garage door, door shutters and frames. Applied elastomer coating to roof of sun room. They exceeded our expectations on every phase of the project. Mike carefully explained his bid and continued to answer our questions respectfully and in as much detail as we required from start to finish while painting our two-story home. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for painting projects in Lafayette, 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.
