"After Kirk and his team painted our exterior home and fence, we had him paint our 3 car garage floor with an anti slip paint with speckles on another home we own and they are doing an excellent job. They are coming back on Monday to apply the sealer (had to wait for paint to dry). They even did a trash run on items we needed to get rid of. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire Vandermark and Son Painting. They are the best."

"CPP Painting arrived on time, completed the work as agreed and wrapped up the project(s) ahead of schedule. The finished product was better than expected. We needed some assistance with paint coloring ideas and their suggestions were amazing. We originally hired CPP for some interior painting, flooring, baseboard and cabinet work. We then re-hired them a second project that included exterior painting and additional interior flooring & cabinet work. We anticipate a third project for them in the near future to include a full bathroom remodel. They are prompt, reliable, do amazing work and were able to make changes mid-project. We never heard the word 'no' from them with any request. We highly recommend their services."

"I have an 86 year old home I'm trying to sell. It had painted hardwood floors under paint that someone painted! What a crime! I had Tim come out and refinish all three of my bedrooms. Oh my goodness, once I saw the finished pro, I wished to God I had had Tim done my floors 8 years ago when I bought the home. He was fast, worked so hard to get the floors perfect. I just know I will get top dollar now for my home! I wonder if he will do my new home in Texas? You can't go wrong using Tim!"

"I contacted Greg A. Bailor Drywall & Painting in September 2014 for interior texture and paint for a residential property built in 1911. When I called I was able to speak directly to the owner, Greg Bailor.  I explained that I was managing the renovation of the residence from Virginia, 2500 miles away. We discussed my needs at length and he scheduled a date the following week for a complete walkthrough of the house including the basement. He emailed a detailed estimate two days later.  That I was not able to be on site to see the progress would be a challenge, but he said it would be no problem and we both agreed good communication would be the key. His team started work three days later.
Over the next two weeks Greg and I were in contact almost everyday. He was great about keeping me updated on the progress of his team.  He and I also had many consults about the color scheme and texture for the interior of the house. He was very patient and walked me through many of his suggestions. In this case, I really left the creative eye to the professional and trusted his experience to deliver a beautiful result.  He did not disappoint. I was able to make a trip to Reno a few weeks later to see the work.  As I walked through the front door I couldn?t believe the stunning transformation throughout the whole house.  He really made it new again.
In February 2015 I contact Greg Bailor again to complete the final touch ups after the installation of new doors, a new kitchen and a new bath. He began work two weeks later and had the project finished in two days. Touch ups took a bit longer because the baseboards needed to be primed and repainted due to overspray of tung oil application by the hardwood floor refinishers.
Greg Bailor and his team were great to work with and extremely accommodating. Their professionalism and attention to detail are second to none.  I would hire Greg A. Bailor Drywall & Painting again and highly recommend them for any painting needs.  They do beautiful work at a fair price.

"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!"

FAQs for painting projects in Truckee, 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.
