"We contracted King of the Painters to paint the exterior of our home in Clairemont after reading customer reviews about their services. We met with the companies owners who were very helpful in helping us select a new house paint color scheme. The workers were on time and cleaned up the work site each afternoon. We had a few issues with the job and called them to report the issues and they were very quick to come out to correct the discrepancies. We would recommend using them to anyone."

"We were on a tight timeline to prepare a condo apartment for listing for sale. Painters from CG Pro Painting managed to work around the tight timeline and did fantastic work, including crack repairs and fixing ceiling stains due to recent flood. We believe their exceptional work and quality really helped with the sale. Would definitely recommend them to others!"

"I recently hired Rex Painting Inc. for a paint job, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, on time, and paid great attention to detail. They did a fantastic job prepping, painting, and cleaning up afterward—everything looks clean and flawless."

"I can't recommend Henry's Professional Painting highly enough! If 10 stars were possible, they would get 10 from me. My old home hadn't been painted in decades. It needed lots of stucco repair and prep work. Tommy and his crew did a fantastic job! My house looks beautiful! I am just thrilled with their work. They finished a day earlier than expected. Henry, Tommy and Sara patiently answered all of my questions and were super nice folks all the way through. I will definitely hire them again."

"Well, what does one say when a diamond is found. As far as painting professional, Joe Asaro is that diamond. Several years ago, Joe painted by our stucco and wood trim on the entire home. The paint has held up incredibly on the stucco walls and wood fascia and I have not even considered touch up painting if it was not for the replacement tile roof installed a short time ago. With the tile installation, the new trim rake tiles where installed exposing more wood than before and therefore, Joe's services were necessary again. As always, Joe met me at my home, walked the site with me and promptly sent to my email his proposal and as prior, the price was very reasonable, especially for the workmanship that Joe provides. Joe is hard working and honest and the quality of work provided is proven by the lasting of time. Thanks again Joe for your professionalism and thoroughness and for consistently offering the a great product and service. Nick"

"I purchased a deal offered by the provider through Angies list.  It included an exterior house painting package for up to 1600 square feet, with an additional charge per square foot above the limit. 
The provider (Dave) was very good about contacting me shortly after my purchase of the package.  I was under a bit of a time crunch to get the work done, and Dave was very accommodating with scheduling.  He personally came to the house to look at the work to be done and provided me with a very fair quote for the square footage in excess of 1600 sq. ft.  
The exterior of the house was pressure washed on a Friday, and the painting crew arrived on schedule the following Monday.  The painting crew (Wes and Dave) were very polite and personable.  They did an excellent job of  caulking any cracks in the surfaces to be painted and resetting any nails that had worked themselves out over time.  They kept me advised of their progress and were very good about checking in and out with me, each day.  I very much appreciate the extra care they took to make my home look great.
I am very pleased with the result of the work, and with the price paid.  I would definitely recommend this provider to anyone and will certainly plan to purchase services from this provider again in the future.

"I have relied on Lifetime Custom Painting for over three years.  Whenever I call, they are extremely friendly and come to my home within a few days to prepare their bid.  They have painted both the inside and outside of my home and done some repair to various areas, including drywall.  The employees have been extremely friendly, polite and helpful even when I change my mind.  That is one of the things I like about this company.  The job is done very well, and cleanup is good, which means a lot to me.

FAQs for painting projects in Julian, 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.
