"Ruben offered a competitive bid, was available to start the project promptly, and completed the work ahead of schedule without cutting corners to do so. The prep and painting were very well done, the crew was hardworking and pleasant. Ruben kept me informed as to their progress throughout the project. Definitely would hire Ruben Roman Painting again!"

"Omar and his crew at green oak painting are professionals and know how to paint. They painted our exterior which has lots of nooks and difficult to reach areas. I am very impressed and pleased with the work they did. Would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"TM did an awesome job painting all the interior walls of our home. They painted 8 rooms and 2 bathrooms in two days which exceeded our expectations. Their work quality is excellent and they moved and protected our furniture and floors to prevent any paint damage. Also did a thorough clean up after the painting was completed. We highly recommended them."

"Daniel and his team at Soco Painting did a fantastic job on the exterior paint job. They were quick, thorough and communicative including tackling some minor dry rot repair and shutter replacement plus final touch ups. All for a far price. A+ No complaints."

"I had a great experience with platinum painting. They were prompt. Gave me a fair estimate. Did great work. Completed the job on time. As an older couple we are very picky about who we will let into our home: we felt very comfortable with the platinum painters working in our home."

"Recently we hired Prestige Custom Painting to do a small exterior job. The mark of excellence in painting is the amount and care that goes into preparation. Prestige met and surpassed our expectations. They were meticulous in preparing our trim work for painting. The result was beyond what we thought possible. In addition they were extremely careful and tidy. No drips. No spills. And they cleaned up the work area perfectly Finally, they were punctual. A dream for us We will definitely be booking Prestige Custom Painting to paint the rest of our house this spring."

Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend hiring Adrian Kovaci and his crew at Ceres Construction for your home construction project.The quality of their work was superb, the cost was comparible to the three other quotes I got from other companies, and their work presence at my home was unobtrusive as I could hope for. My two level 1923-built Richmond district home in San Francisco had a derelict passage to my garage - crumbling door, wobbly side stairs, and dry-rotted siding. Nothing was up to code. Adrian noted all the items that had to be reconstructed and said the project would take up to 20 days (it actually was finished in 18 days.) Adrian was very accommodating in giving extra finishing touches to my door hallway without extra charges, which I appreciated. I was concerned about the cost of the project and the disruption the work would cause, but Adrian's calm demeanor and the friendliness of the crew put my worries to rest. Thank you Adrian for leaving the work area spotless and for the quality work!"

FAQs for painting projects in Tomales, 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.
