"I had my exterior French door painted. The last time it was painted the person did such a poor job not removing the old paint and so the frame was in pretty bad shape. It needed a lot of tender loving care, but now looks beautiful and I am so grateful that Montano Painting did a meticulous job for me. Our original date had to be postponed a bit because of rain and Eduardo stayed in touch with me. Always let me know what was happening and when things would be started and completed I would recommend this company to anyone who wants a job well done."

"Top Quality Painting is a pleasure to work with. Nathan is very helpful in selecting colors and color matching. They provided fair pricing and timely service with great attention to all our questions and concerns. We are extremely happy with the exterior painting and will call upon Nathan once again for kitchen cabinet painting. Nathan and his team are meticulous in preparing and painting your home. His talented and friendly crew began by pressure washing then caulking all cracks and trim work. They also willingly provided an additional coat of paint for a sun dried West facing wall. We agree with an earlier review in that Top Quality Painting is a go to company to help homeowners in keeping their home looking good. Nathan makes the contractor experience a pleasant and rewarding process. Do not fret, as Nathan too wants your home to look its best."

"Dave Cearlock is the best! We met with a few cabinet refinishers to begin with, and we were thinking of giving up on the project because it was simply too expensive and not what we had in mind. We wanted to keep the original cabinets, and just make them look better. We asked for more ideas from Service Magic and they suggested Cearlock, very happy! Dave Cearlock gave us a quote right away, and was especially flexible in giving us a price break if we would help with the project. Dave is friendly and a hard worker. The stain color Dave selected is magnificent. We are so pleased with our cabinets, better than imagined. Thank you so much."

"The Brandon Paint Co crew were very professional and efficient. Our house was power washed, stained, and the trim painted in under a week with a beautiful result. Communications on site were friendly, open and timely. Setting up the job occurred before the winter and communications were excellent (from interactions to get an estimate, through documenting the contract, and then keeping us informed on planning/scheduling implementation)."

"I had been having trouble finding someone who was willing to do my smallish paint job but Rynberk Painting was willing to do it. They were helpful with making sure we had the right paint color for my ceiling and did a fantastic job. Asking them to come back and do some additional work."

"After doing some research we found Jay’s Painting Service. We could not be happier with the exterior paint job the did. They transformed our house, which was looking a little rough, into some we are proud of. The crew was polite, professional and their attention to detail was top notch. They completed the job right in schedule. I highly recommend them for all your painting needs! Thank you guys so much!!"

"You can't find a better painting team than the Do It Right team. Why? Because they do it right! Pressure wash house, 2 coats top quality paint, backrolled, care for plants, masking and tarping of surfaces for painting or not painting, all done by them professionally for many years. I have recommended their service to many in my Sun City Roseville neighborhood. If you don't have it done right, you're doing it wrong. Awesome! Couldn't give a more positive report."

FAQs for painting projects in Fair Oaks, 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.
