"When I went looking for someone to paint my home, I found it confusing and a bit daunting that there were so many painting companies in Tucson. I picked Arizona Painting Company because of the excellent customer service they brought to the process. They did a complete inspection of my home, pointing out issues that needed to be addressed, then gave me a comparable quote that I decided on over anyone else. The inspector/sales representative then gave me a tentative date to start the project. I was contacted by Arizona Painting Company 2 weeks earlier than the quote date to schedule the complete painting of my home which consisted of the whole exterior including the running board around the eves, the garage door, and the front door. They patched all the stucco and holes in the walls and accepted the color choices I gave them since I live in an HOA community. They assigned me an excellent individual to manage the project. Rene Gonzalez texted me every day to let me know when they would be arriving, did all the preparation on the home, and painted my home in less than three (3) days. I am ecstatic about the results. This Company is top-notch. From start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend them for your external and internal painting needs."

"DNA custom painting did a wonderful job on painting the outside of my tiny home. My house had a lot of sun damage and needed hours of scraping, chalking and some additional boards to secure warped siding. Nestor helped with picking the perfect paint and color. The work was done carefully throughout. I love the fresh look on my home! Highly recommend!"

"Painting in Green just completed an exterior painting of our home and horse barn. The quality and workmanship is superlative! The project foreman is very knowledgeable and courteous and the paint and sealing materials will certainly hold up to the harsh weather conditions here. We highly recommend this company for your painting projects. Six stars would be appropriate."

"Luis has removed all the popcorn ceilings and painted every room in our house starting in the summer of 2009.  Up until this last project everything went smoothly. I picked out what I thought was a very pale green for our living room and dining room. When it was finished it looked like mint ice cream.  Needless to say that's not what I wanted. Over the next 2-3 weeks I had painted over 30 samples of colors of what I thought I might want which changed from a green to an off white. What was in the sample jars was not what it looked like on the walls. Finally Luis came over to look and we decided what might work.  I guess the green made all the samples not look what they should.  But the final outcome is perfect.  He even painted baseboards because the next project is having new flooring put down.  Now that the whole house is done I suppose at some point we will have to start over and I will certainly call Luis again. The total cost,of course, included the repainting.

"An amazing quality experience from the first contact through the last brush stroke. The quality of the work provided by David's team is second to none. Some areas of the house required stucco repair, some cracks, shadows of old attachments, etc. The repair work is flawless. I highly recommend Pro Finish Custom Painting for any paint projects on your "to-do" list. Awesome work. great people!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Cortaro, AZ

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.
