"David and his team at J&D Painting were fantastic. I recently hired them to paint a couple of interior rooms and the exterior of my home in San Jose. Their work was detailed and immaculate. David and his team were very communicative and helpful with any questions I had. They were extremely efficient, respectful, tidy and thorough. Above and beyond in their attention to detail. An absolute pleasure to work with . I highly recommend J&D 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."

"I am so thrilled with the painting Manny and the team completed. They did an excellent job from beginning to end. They took our painting needs for our home and brought it back to life. They were professional, clean, kind, courteous, detailed and went above and beyond to get our painting job done. They offered a fair price to complete all the projects. We loved them so much we continued to find more and more work for the team to do. We had our home exterior and interior painted, the deck repaired and refinished. Manny was able to match our unique interior paint colors from previous owners with flawless execution. He is the most knowledgeable, talented, fair, Professional and kind painter I have ever met. They are extremely hard working and will complete any job perfectly. He goes above and beyond what is expected. He makes any dream come true! We are so fortunate to have been blessed with their painting presence. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for top notch painting in any high end home! Sincerely, Karen Jeffery-Wheeler"

"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."

"The price was reasonable, and the job they did on the outside of our house + a large pergola was fantastic. Three full days to prep for the painting [the house is a large two story house] including powerwashing, filling in all the lines and cracks in the stucco et al. I was here to watch it all and I was VERY impressed. The crew that was here worked very well together and were always cognizant of taking care of the shrubbery. Lots of windows and trim, which were beautifully done. Great communication with us throughout the project. I would hire them again."

"Diaz Pro Painting has done an excellent job doing both interior and exterior painting, on our multi-dwelling property, for many years. They are fairly priced while exhibiting a high standard of excellence. Our most recent big job was the build-out and expansion of our 2 bedroom home in Gilroy. While Diaz Pro Painting is fastidious about adhering to their schedule, they are also patient and very accommodating when owner job specs change. Also, they have a very good design eye for recommendations on color schemes. We highly recommend Diaz Pro Painting"

FAQs for painting projects in San Martin, 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.
