"I have never been happier with a painter and I have hired several. After going onto Angi's list, I received a prompt reply from Ruben of Ruben Roman Painting. He came out soon after and emailed a competitive quote. Once started, Ruben kept me informed during each step of the process. Ruben completed the job in a timely manner, but was also a perfectionist. He took extreme pride in his work. He moved furniture, taped and covered parts of the deck, removed old stain down to the bare wood using a chemical cleaner, power washed, sanded and applied the new stain. My deck never looked better! I am that thrilled and highly recommend Ruben for any painting job."

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

"(In English, Spanish translation below) Neither my family nor I could be happier with Javier's integrity and the quality of his work both on the exterior and the interior of our home. We have hired him several times, and he is the only painter we will hire in the future. His work is impeccable. He works carefully and efficiently (e.g., without taking breaks and working on one part of our home while another part dried). We trusted him to work around the most valued possessions in our home, and we are extremely pleased with the results. He was always on time, provides precise estimates, and is amazing in his attention to detail. It has been many months since he did his work, and the paint looks as good as the day the work was completed. We first hired Javier to fix painting done by TWO other "professional" painters with whose work we were not satisfied. He was quickly able to turn mediocre painting, done by these lesser professionals, into what I can only call A+ painting. The evenness and precision of his painting made our walls, ceilings, and doors look like new after previous painters said that this kind of result was not possible. Javier painted quickly and extremely accurately. He “cut-in” the walls and ceilings perfectly. After he did his magic, even the deep red walls and bright white doors looked better than we could have imagined. We know you will find Javier to be reliable, hard-working, efficient, extremely honest, and truly a master painter—an Artist. (En Español) Ni mi familia ni yo podríamos estar más contentos con la integridad de Javier y la calidad de su trabajo tanto en el exterior como en el interior de nuestro hogar. Lo hemos contratado varias veces y él es el único pintor a quien contrataremos en el futuro. Su trabajo es impecable. Javier trabaja cuidadosa y eficientemente (por ejemplo, sin descansar: pintando en una parte de nuestro hogar mientras la otra pintura se seca). Le tenemos confianza para que trabaje cerca de las posesiones que más valoramos en nuestra casa y los resultados de su trabajo nos agradan sobremanera. Él es siempre puntual, provee estimaciones precisas y su atención a los detalles es extraordinaria. Han pasado ya muchos meses desde que él terminó con su trabajo y la pintura luce ahora tan bien como el día en que Javier completó su labor. La primera vez que contratamos a Javier fue para que reparara el trabajo hecho por otros DOS pintores "profesionales" con cuyos resultados no estuvimos satisfechos. Javier rápidamente transformó el trabajo mediocre, aquel de menor calidad realizado por otros pintores, en lo que yo solamente puedo llamar pintura A+. La uniformidad y la precisión de la pintura de Javier hizo que nuestras paredes, techos y puertas se vieran como nuevos aún después de que los pintores previos dijeran que ese tipo de resultado no sería posible. Javier pintó de manera muy rápida y con exactitud. Pintó el borde entre las paredes y los techos de manera perfecta. Después de hacer su magia, aún las paredes de color rojo oscuro y las puertas blancas brillantes se vieron mejor de lo que nosotros podríamos haber imaginado. Creemos que usted considerará a Javier como un pintor confiable, trabajador, eficiente, extremadamente honesto y, de verdad, un pintor maestro. Un artista."

FAQs for painting projects in Larkspur, 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.
