"We were very pleased with the paint project for our home! The owner Julio promised we would be satisfied with the work and he didn't disappoint!! The painters were very professional and clean making sure everything was thoroughly taped/ covered to keep any paint from dripping onto our new floors. The paint job was absolutely beautiful!! We will definitely recommend "Beyond Quality Painting" to all of our family and friends!!"

"Brannick Painting just finished a complete exterior repaint of our house in El Cerrito, including staining our deck. Patrick and his team were wonderful to work with. Patrick helped us with color selection, painting large sheets of posterboard with several colors we considered, so we could hold them up to the house in different lighting to see how they would look when finished. we have heard from others that they had small swatches painted on their house and Patrick’s approach is so much more helpful. Patrick is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparation and painting. We have an old stucco house that needed a lot of detailed preparation. His crew is very experienced, and they did an excellent job repairing and preparing all of the cracks and blemishes on our house. We are very happy with the final product. We highly recommend using Brannick Painting."

"A+ painting was quick to respond, completed the work in a quick time frame, was flexible with changes to scope, and communicated timeline updates and few changes for scope changes in real time. They did a great job with the paint and would definitely hire them again."

"painted underside of eves all around the house (the last time the house was painted the painters pressure washed, but did not scrape, the underside of the eves. After a 4 -5 years the old paint under the new peeled off leaving bare wood. We could not get an appraisal with bare wood showing. Kanell's Painting Service workers scraped the paint under all of the eves, and also did the same to nearby beams that were not on the original work requested, because the paint was blistering. They did an excellent job, and were careful, and cleaned up completely. We were very pleased with their work! They repaired/repainted a little more than the original request. the final result was excellent."

FAQs for painting projects in Hayward, 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.
