"I was so impressed with Star Painting and Decoration Inc. Alvaro and his crew exhibited punctuality, professionalism, workmanship to a degree I haven’t seen in a painting company before. He painted my house using Sherwin Williams Paint . He explained the different qualities of paint. We chose Emerald Exterior by Sherwin Williams. That paint is the best on the market!! Alvaro addressed every detail we discussed in our first walk of my home. My home came out great!! I will be referring Alvaro to any one who needs to paint the exterior of their house!! 200 Percent Satisfaction Guaranteed!!!!"

"At first I was just looking for wallpaper for my bedroom and some fresh paint for the living room and kitchen. Nothing drastic, same colors but the old paint was already three years old and had some stains from daily use. The wallpaper I wanted was hard to find so Diego suggested a wall covering with wooden slats. They showed me some ideas and I also looked for inspiration. I had no idea something so simple could look this beautiful. In the end they handled everything, what started as a simple wallpaper replacement turned into a completely new bedroom. When they finished, it looked nothing like it did before. I was pleasantly surprised with expert home builders? work"

"Just finished our kitchen and bathroom remodel with Ocean Seven Builders and happy we went with them. Ron helped us through the whole process and made it simple. He was always available when we had questions and gave honest advice when we were choosing materials. The kitchen looks open and bright now, and the bathroom finally feels updated instead of old and cramped. Solid work and good people."

FAQs for painting projects in Mojave, 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.
