"I highly recommend the work, customer service, friendliness, and professionalism of Oscar Gomez. I hired him to re-stain my perimeter fence, to seal my concrete patio, and to repaint my patio pergola. His prep work and finishing were excellent. He took great care to protect my house, landscaping, and patio furniture as he worked. Cleanup was spotless. Oscar communicated well throughout the projects both in person and via texting. Oscar is a kind person, easy to work with and willing to go the extra mile to please the customer. I highly recommend him."

"Diaz Pro Painting has done an excellent job doing both interior and exterior painting, on our multi-dwelling property, for many years. They are fairly priced while exhibiting a high standard of excellence. Our most recent big job was the build-out and expansion of our 2 bedroom home in Gilroy. While Diaz Pro Painting is fastidious about adhering to their schedule, they are also patient and very accommodating when owner job specs change. Also, they have a very good design eye for recommendations on color schemes. We highly recommend Diaz Pro Painting"

"Hector and his son are very pleasant and easy to work with. I asked them to be complete by a certain date and they actually finished a little earlier. I highly recommend them and their cost is reasonable. If I need other drywall work done I would readily call them again"

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.
