"I went with Sunguard custom painting for my exterior paint. I had a few discussions with Hughie at SunGard custom painting , he was very professional and knowledgable about the painting business. My house looks brand new, and the price was exceptional. I will refer Sunguard custom painting to all my friends and family."

"He was a lifesaver, I couldn't have done this without him. He was polite and did things beyond just painting, like if I had a problem with a plant needing to be trimmed to get to the wall he would do that. He hauled another tree away and replaced a side door as well."

"Tamara and Dorado Paint did the best paint work Iâ ve ever had! Her team were very careful and detailed. They completed everything I requested and took care of issues I didnâ t recognize existed without additional fees. I was able to leave them unattended, with a key and they provided regular progress reports and photos. The paint work is superb, was done on time and on budget and they left my home spotlessly clean. Plus, they were kind and thoughtful. Tamara is a delight. I highly recommend Dorado Paint!"

"Winfield Painting is amazing! My husband and I purchased an older place, and our kitchen cabinets were old! They were the original cabinets from the early 80's ... and the wear and tear they experienced showed. We did not want to pay the full price of replacing all the cabinets, so we contacted Glen to get an estimate. Glen is amazing! He came out and looked over the kitchen and provided us with his professional opinion of what would be the best way to modernize the cabinets. After we decided on painting them, he provided us with an estimate and left paint samples for us to look over. We are THRILLED with the quality of his work! Glen worked around our schedule, met with us when we were available, and within a week from the first meeting, completed the cabinets. The quality of his work is amazing, and you can not beat his price!!!! I am so happy that we called Winfield Painting. I highly recommend Glen and plan on using him again when it is time to update cabinets throughout our place. Great work! Great price! Highly, highly recommended!"

FAQs for painting projects in Rancho Mirage, 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.
