"This husband and wife team were top notch! They were always "positive" to all of my requests concerning the painting of the exterior portion of my house. We are very happy with the ways the colors came out for the house. They were very reasonable in the cost of doing the painting job. Would definitely hire them again!"

"Painter did an amazing job! Very professional and demonstrated a highly detailed paint job. He was on time and I really enjoyed how he brought his own color wheel and equipment and was able to consult with me on the best colors. He walked me though his process and then completed the job fast and efficiently. I love how the project turned out and it’s definitely worth the price. The price is very affordable because of his value he brings and years of experience and job that is highly professional. I will gladly recommend him to anyone! Derrick is a real pleasure to work with and anyone would be happy to have his services."

"Although I'm outside their area at North Lake Tahoe, I opted to have them do my remodel because of their reputation. They agreed to put a lot of miles on to do the work and I am very happy they did. The work was of excellent quality and they had no issues dealing with the unique code and BMP requirements of the TRPA and Placer County for the Tahoe area. All the requirements were met for each of the inspections along the way. One of the requirements is to complete any construction that impacts the ground surface before October 15th so they had a deadline to get most of the work done. I also wanted to get the roof on before it started to snow. Because my house was originally built in the 1960s, the existing structure was not up to current code for snow loads. They retrofitted the common wall and did all the electrical work for lighting, power, and the automatic garage door. There were a few of the usual unforeseen extra materials cost but all in all they kept costs in check. The tree stumps were particularly stubborn to remove but they worked late and on into the weekend to help minimize the equipment rental period. They also did some additional reinforcement that went beyond what was in the plans. The garage extended out to the setback from the property line and because of the slope of the roof I wasn't sure if I could utilize the larger space for two vehicles or not. I was very happy that I had plenty of room for both my ski boat and a car. The exterior blended in perfectly with the rest of the house once it was painted. Tom and Steve are a great team and work very efficiently together.

FAQs for painting projects in Rough And Ready, 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.
