"We contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"Nile and his crew were outstanding.  Very easy to do business with.  Nile returned calls and emails promptly.  His team of painters arrived promptly each day of this three-day job and communicated their plan so I would know when they would arrive and approximately when they would finish.  The quality of the work is top notch and, for the scope of work being done, I think the price was very reasonable.  I've always done my own painting but after this experience I think I'll hang up my brush and just call Nile.

"Geoff and his team were very meticulous, professional, experienced and really good people. We were very impressed with all the prep work done before the actual painting of the exterior was started. We highly, very highly recommend Adesion painting and plan to use them for future projects."

"Supremacy painted our entire residential exterior, and also did some needed carpentry repairs. Their price was the most competitive we received. They arranged for necessary scaffolding instead of requiring us to undertake the effort. The crew was professional, reliable, and friendly. They did fantastic quality work. We recommend Supremacy for any painting job, without reservation."

"THE ACTUAL PAINT JOB WAS EXCELLENT. THEY WERE A HARD WORKING CREW AND I BELIEVE THEY TOOK PRIDE IN THEIR WORK. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN A GRADE OF "A" FOR THE JOB EXCEPT THAT THERE WERE SIGNIFCANT SCHEDULING ISSUES DUE TO THE BOSS, AS WELL AS HIS OVERESTMATE OF OVER 2 GALLONS OF PAINT FOR THE JOB, THE PAINT WHICH I HAD TO SUPPLY. THAT MISTAKE COST BE AN ADDITIONAL $60, AND BECAUSE THE PAINT WAS CUSTOM COLOR , IT WAS NOT RETURNABLE. THEN THE ISSUE OF THE BOSS LOSING MY PAYMENT CHECK AND MY HAVING TO SUBMIT A STOP PAYMENT REQUEST TO MY BANK FURTHER DISAPPOINTED ME ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. BUT I WANT TO REPEAT, THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THE ACTUAL PAINTING."

"Raul was top-notch from start to finish. His workers are amazing and I am very very happy with the results! He was reasonable and excellent at communication. I would recommend him to anyone! He uses excellent quality paint if someone is going to work that hard and repainting the whole place it should be done with the best paint."

"I hired Cody Blades of Straightline Painting to paint exterior of my home. They did a fabulous job. I just love looking at my newly painted home as I pull into the driveway. Cody was a pleasure to work with. His crew was respectful of my property, always courteous. Real professionals. I was so impressed with the Painter Steven work. He is such a hard worker and focused on detail. I highly recommend Straightline Painting. I am glad I used Angies List to help me locate this qualified painting company."

FAQs for painting projects in Solana Beach, 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.
