"The Brandon Paint Co crew were very professional and efficient. Our house was power washed, stained, and the trim painted in under a week with a beautiful result. Communications on site were friendly, open and timely. Setting up the job occurred before the winter and communications were excellent (from interactions to get an estimate, through documenting the contract, and then keeping us informed on planning/scheduling implementation)."

"Mitchell Painting Did everything that was promised on the estimate and more. The quality of the work using Sherwinn Williams premium paint transformed our house from being dull to now we are getting compliments from strangers and passersby saying how sharp the house looks. All this curb appeal is due to Mitchell Painting doing a first rate job. Tgey started by sanding ‘all’ the surface areas, then priming critical areas that required repair work prior to being painted. Their attention to detail coupled with back rolling between the two coats of paint provided an each catching finish. I cannot be more happy with the results. I will recommend them to anyone who needs painting. They are now the first I will call for future painting. I cannot say enough good things about the output and end product results. Worth every penny spent!"

"We couldn't be happier with how Frank and his professional crew made the exterior of our older home look like new again. Extensive prep, care for areas not to be painted, daily cleanup, professional and hard working crew. We appreciated the detailed statement of work, offer of high quality materials, and very reasonable price."

"We selected Complete Spectrum after witnessing the results they performed on our neighbours house. Top class all the way. We received a quote which was in the mid range for any licensed contractor. After color selection in which they gladly offered pointers and constructive advice, work commenced mid October 2019. In a nutshell, Jeremy the owner (who also performed the work) achieved a stellar result. Compliments all around from friends and neighbors. Detailed to a fault, conscientious, thorough and clean and tidy with it. Went the extra yard where others would not. If there were a six-star rating he would certainly qualify. For those considering Complete Spectrum I would heartily recommend without any reservation Furthermore, not a dollar was laid out until the job was completed and met to our satisfaction."

"ALR Painting did such a fantastic job. My home was built in 1908 and the original paint was chipping away and old. Alex was able to match the exact color of the house and went above and beyond my expectations. I was particularly impressed with the care he took in prepping the home prior to painting- scraping, sanding, and caulking. The paint job wasn’t easy. Alex definitely takes pride in his work and he managed to complete the project much faster than I expected. My house looks AMAZING! I could not be happier with my experience and I highly recommend ALR Painting to others."

FAQs for painting projects in Placerville, 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.
