"Green Oak Painting did a wonderful job of painting the exterior of our house. It looks great!!. Everyone working on the project was very skilled and the results show it. They were all pleasant and easy to work with, completing the job within the time specified. At the end, they cleaned up completely and left us with our newly painted beautiful house. We would have no hesitation to recommend Green Oak Painting. Arnold Steinman"

"Steve painted our entire townhouse - walls, ceilings, trims, doors, kitchen cabinets, and mildewy bath ceilings. He patched up holes and rips in the walls so well that the location of the holes are no longer visible. The former renter left the garage floor looking awful. Steve suggested pressure cleaning the garage, putting epoxy and painting the walls. It is now a great looking garage. His price was reasonable. I would use Steve again."

"They removed the old surface of kitchen cabinets and painted them. They were careful to make sure no paint or spray got into any other part of the house. Their quoted price did not change. I highly recommend them!"

FAQs for painting projects in Santa Rosa, 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.
