"Excellent Work and Outstanding Service! I found Jose Rosales Painting through Angi’s List and couldn’t be happier with the results. Jose provided a fair quote for painting our studio/garage and made the process effortless—I simply selected the paint color, and he handled the rest. The transformation was completed in just one day. The lead painter, also named Jose, was detail-oriented, meticulous, and courteous throughout the project. His professionalism and positive attitude made it clear he takes pride in his work. Our studio now looks sparkling clean and beautiful. I highly recommend Jose Rosales Painting and will definitely hire them for future projects. Thank you!"

"Excellent. Rick Jamison Painting did an amazing stain job on our new wood garage doors. They were able to sand and stain all our current gates to match back to new garage. Very professional, friendly and reliable company. I would highly recommend."

John and Ramon were professional, and their bid was comprehensive and competitive. The crew, Alejandro, and his team were absolutely excellent from start to finish. They were courteous and professional and paid incredible attention to detail. The team took great care to prepare the surfaces properly, ensuring a flawless finish that has truly transformed the look of my home. They worked efficiently while maintaining a high standard of quality, and their professionalism was evident in every interaction. I highly recommend CertiPro Painters and Alejandro’s team to anyone seeking top-notch painting services.

"These guys rule. Seriously. Cancel your other estimates and just hire them, now. The crew is hardworking, professional, and fun to talk to. I work from home and spend a lot of time on Zoom and on the phone. They were very respectful of my privacy. Didn't bother me unless necessary and were never overly loud. When problems arose, they figured it out and got it done. And the results look great! Our fence was in desperate need of stain and the wood was very thirsty. They went over some areas two and even three times to get it even. Amazing. Once we saw how good their work on the fence was, we hired them to paint the back walls as well. They did an amazing job again and even came back to hit an area today to make sure the job was complete. It seems like everyone is trying to gouge homeowners these days. This company is reasonable, respectful, and fair. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs painting done. Wish they would expand the business into plumbing, yard work, HVAC, and every other aspect of home maintenance so I could hire them for everything. Last thing. Once they were done, they re-hung all of the candle holders we have on the fence. They didn't have to do that. But they did. That's the kind of above-and-beyond type stuff you can expect from this company. Couldn't be happier. Wish there was an extra star available to add to their rating."

"It went exceptionally well! We discussed a price, within minutes the house was pressure cleaned, then a day later his crew showed up, made the necessary trim and stucco repairs, they removed the chipping paint and painted the trim and two story house in one day. The paint is thick and rich, the trim gleams. James White and his team did an excellent job. Neighbors liked it so much, four neighbors had him do their homes. The neighborhood looks great! James White and his team are good!"

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.
