"Very well, Eddie and his crew did an excellent job painting the interior of our home. They completed the work on schedule, cleaned up everyday and were careful moving household items. Eddie also did an excellent job sanding and staining our front door when other companies said to just paint the door, that it was too much trouble to re-stain. Eddie also guarantees his work and works hard to make sure you are happy with the final results when work is completed."

"Dan and his team always deliver. D.K Painting has worked on two of my houses, and exceeded expectations with timing and quality of work each time. Each job consisted of painting over dark colors to white, and we were very satisfied the with the results. D.K Painting was a great referral from my realtor many years ago, and I’m glad we hired them!"

"I hired Rod West Painting to paint the upstairs of our home. Rod came in with a bid that was substantially less than what we had been qoured for the same work by another company. Where Rod and his crew differ is that we were told not to move anything, as the crew would do that for us! They took pictures down and replaced them after the painting was completed. They moved furniture and put the furniture back in the same place and they moved two heavy filing cabinets for us and put them back after the painting was completed. They print with a brush or a roller and they did not use spray paint like the previous contractor. What a difference that was from the last contractor who had us move everything out of the two rooms to be painted. That itself saved an awful lot of work for my wife and I. Rods crew was professional in every respect. They were on time each morning and the areas painted were left spotless as their cleanup was perfect. I could see this crew has worked together before and they seemed they liked what they were doing and most important, they couldn't have been been more helpful in this painting job. All told we are extremely satisfied with both the quality of the job and the cost to do the job. So impressed were we that we asked Rod to bid on an exterior paint job for our home. Rod's bgid was more than competitive so we hired Rod and his crew to paint the exterior of our home as out next project. If you need to paint anything in your home, Rod and his crew are the guys you want to do the job! I rated Rod West Painting 5 ourt of five stars and if there were 10 stars he would had gotten a 10 star rating! If you want painting done in your home, Rod West is your guy!"

"Marco, Jennifer, and Pete did excellent work on my cabinets and wood-stained baseboards. Marco also did a creative spot-fix to some paint that a previous owner had slopped onto brickwork - a mistake I though was probably unfixable."

FAQs for painting projects in Lincoln, 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.
