"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."

"They did an excellent job of painting our kitchen cabinets and they now look great in creame instead of stained wood. They did all of the work in one week. They cleaned up the work site at the end of the job. Arrived punctually each day and had good communication with us on a daily basis."

"Atiba and Ati at Finish Coat paint are by far the best contractors we have ever worked with. We have had some nightmare experiences with contractors, so we were hesitant to even do another job but we really needed our interior painted. They responded quickly when first contacted. They are professional. The communication is beyond excellent. We hired them to paint 3 bedrooms and retexture and finish a ceiling. They're work was so great, we expanded the job to include our downstairs. Our house looks beautiful, we couldn't be happier with their work. They did an amazing job and we will definitely be using them again for any future painting projects."

"Josh and his father, Mark have completed several paint jobs for us. They repainted the exterior of our home, painted kitchen and bathroom cabinets, all of our baseboards, and our new stair railings and risers. Their work is truly impeccable. They pay close attention to detail and spend probably a third of their work prepping the area to be painted. Caulking, patching and sanding, I have learned,this makes such a huge difference on the appearance and durability of your project. The exterior of our home was so beautiful that some of our neighbors have already hired them to repaint their homes. Our cabinets and stair railings are stunning. They painted the stair posts then noticed some imperfections in the wood, so worked to patch, sand and repaint so the the final product was flawless. They are quick to respond to inquiries and their prices are very competitive with other larger companies we got quotes from. It is so hard to find honest, reliable and talented contractors and I will always recommend them and continue to use their services for future painting projects."

"Flex Painting went above and beyond on our rental home’s exterior painting project. They initially provided a fair and reasonable estimate, but as the project progressed, they identified dry rot, a broken window and sash, rotting stairs, and other structural issues. Instead of just painting over the problems, they handled the necessary repairs, replaced gutters, and even added gutter screens and downspouts—all while maintaining fluid communication with regular updates and photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work were outstanding. We truly appreciate their honesty, expertise, and willingness to go the extra mile. Highly recommend Flex Painting for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team!"
Before pictures
(Before Pic)Home was pressure washed with a 3000 psi machine to remove as much dirt and grime from the exterior house wall surfaces before painting. We sanded all the bad areas and spot primed them before painting. Used caulking to seal any open grooves and open wood joints as needed.
(Before l) This photo shows the condition of the cabinet before it was refinished. You can see the stain is faded and clear coat is chipping away from water damage and moisture in the air.
Exterior Repaint
Prepped the door for painting. Sanded it then primed it. Removed the door handle and carefully covered the hinges before spray painting the door.

"I had a great experience with platinum painting. They were prompt. Gave me a fair estimate. Did great work. Completed the job on time. As an older couple we are very picky about who we will let into our home: we felt very comfortable with the platinum painters working in our home."

FAQs for painting projects in Orinda, 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.
