"I highly recommend Jose's Painting L.A. I contracted with them to paint my 2.5 story craftsman home with a lot of detail and they did a beautiful job. I loved the fact that I received a fast itemized quote so I knew exactly what to expect. The workers were all professional and courteous. Also the work area was cleaned up everyday before they left. I would definitely use them again."

"Rodriguez Paint and Finish came in and took a six year old paint job with a bunch of holes from different picture frame changes, peeling paint, incomplete patches, and two different colors as there was a decorative border and turned it into a dream room. I love dark colors and we got a accent wall with a dark color while the other color was a light paint, they complemented each perfectly. He was able to finish the job in a timely manner and provided us the extra paint for later touch ups(we have small children and things happen). I am very happy with the job and look forward to using the company for future projects."

"I contacted EE Painting to do some painting and stucco work following the installation of a new front porch. At the same time, Branden pointed out several additional areas that needed attention. I viewed this not as an effort to drum up extra business but out of a sincere interest to point out areas that, in time, would cause some deterioration of the home which had been in our family for 75 years. I appreciated these observations . All work was performed professionally and I was thrilled with the outcome. The workers were very helpful and cleaned up each day."

"I hired them to paint the front and side of the house. They did a good job on the side including stucco and most of the front. They did a poor job, not prepping hardly at all, my old front door, the main thing I told them I wanted to be done. They had to spend a whole day totally re-doing it and it was finally nice. What irked me the most is they poured the excess paint water onto my lawn and brickwork right near the front door! When I asked them to fix it, he did a poor job and the grass (about a foot square in the corner) will not grow back. I had pointed it out and the supervisor said it would be fixed. It was not. When I showed it to the worker when they were about to leave, he pushed the dirt around a little bit but it is still bad. I actually saw him clean the brushes onto the grass another place and the paint is still visible a few weeks later. I will also have to use paint thinner to clean the several bricks 6 feet from the front door that show the other paint water. The eventual job was nicely done after I would not accept the original work. Pouring paint water on my lawn and bricks was unacceptable. They were always prompt."

"Great company they painted the full exterior of my two story home in Stevenson Ranch my only regret is that I would have found them prior to another company painting the interior. Great results, timely, professional and great communication skills from Ed and his father. The painting crew was always on time and never left a mess. Iâ m super pick and they left a good impression."

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.
