"We highly recommend A+ Painting and will use them again for future painting projects. They painted a bedroom- bathroom wing consisting of a Master bedroom and bath, guest bedroom and bath and a hallway. They were on-time, very professional, provided a superior painting service and cleaned up everything spotlessly. They finished the job ahead of schedule with no change orders. Definitely a 5+ star review for this business."

"Rolando wants to provide the best results and makes excellent recommendations that you should consider and discuss. Lower cost (cheaper paints) don’t necessarily give you the best or lasting results. His team is very meticulous and does a great job in prepping and cleanup."

"I never take the time to write a review but in this case I had to recommend Dan, his team and their outstanding work. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and work ethic were of the highest quality. I have had painting done before in my home and I am now looking to have Dan re-do this work because when I compare his work to the work done previously there is really no comparison - Dan's work is superior in every way. Last I would say that in addition to his top quality work, very competitive prices, and cleanliness Dan is a really good guy."

"I’ve hired Luis to paint my own home as well as several of my clients homes. I’m a General Contractor and have used Luis several times and each and every time he amazes me! His professionalism, attention to detail and always on time are qualities that are very hard to find in a painting contractor. I highly recommend Luis and his team and I will certainly use him on my next project."

"Junior and his team did a wonderful job painting the exterior of my San Francisco home. When I set up the appointment to look at my home, Junior, who is the owner of Mendez Professional Painting, came out and he couldn't be more friendly and professional. His prices are competitive and he has such an easy going personality. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He answered all my questions and let me know what steps were involved in the entire process. His crew is very professional, prompt, and they did a great job in cleaning up every day. When the job was completed, he made sure I was totally satisfied with the work. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone if they have any painting needs. I told him if I have other projects such as interior painting, he would be the first person I call. I'm glad that I now have a person I can turn to if I have any other painting projects. These guys are great!"

"Victor and the Prestige team did a fantastic job on repainting the trim of our house, as well as refinishing the wood window trim indoors. They helped us find a perfect match for the interior wood trim, which is not an easy task. They provided several different stain options, and we could see in real-time what the stains looked like so that we made a decision we would be happy with. Highly recommend, will hire them again."

FAQs for painting projects in Pacifica, 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.
