"Al Drew is incredible. He painted the trim, doors, eaves, plumbing access points, ect on the exterior of my house. It was affordable, and quality work. He was professional. He has so much knowledge and is willing to share it with you. For instance, we got to talking about cleaning cabinets of oily greasy build up and I told him the things I tried that hadn't work and he suggested something that does, just because he's a nice guy. I cannot recommend him enough. If I ever need more painting done, or cabinets refinished stained, or painted I know who I'm calling and that's Al Drew. Thankyou Al for taking my ugly duckling house and turning her into a swan. You sir, are amazing."

"We hired Pro Painting Plus to paint the exterior of our home, and the work has been nothing short of phenomenal. It has completed revived the home in which our family grew up in. Jesus and his crew took just over 40 hours to paint our two story house in two colors. I can’t help but recommend their services to anyone looking for professional paint work."

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Tom from Davila’s Paint and Plaster! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly detail-oriented. He took the time to explain everything he was going to do and provided a clear breakdown of the costs before starting any work, which we truly appreciated. His craftsmanship is outstanding! He repaired a large hole in our drywall seamlessly—it looks as if it was never there. On top of that, he tackled a challenging paint job in one of our bedrooms, and the results were beyond our expectations. The coverage was flawless, and the room looks brand new! Not only is Tom highly skilled, but he is also friendly, reliable, and truly cares about the quality of his work. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and passionate about what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will absolutely be calling him for any future projects."

"Heinz and Ruth were awesome and a lovely couple to work with. They were very humble and helpful with suggestions and recommendations. They did a fantastic job on our home. They re-painted the ceilings in two bedrooms, repainted two of our bathrooms, they did all the trim and doors of our home, they painted the stair rails, did some touch up work in our living room ceiling, painted the fireplace. Heinz and Ruth recommend we do wainscoting in our living room. We went with their suggestion, and absolutely love the outcome. They start at working on our home in early July and we re done within two weeks. My family absolutely adored their company and talking with them too. We hope to hire them in the near future for our kitchen and highly recommend them."

"Eric and the rest of the workers and employees at 247 painting were so amazing. They took such great care in painting my new house for move in!! I wanted some really out there colors for my backsplash and my accent walls in my bedrooms and it came out so great and so clean the edges were so crisp I am so happy. The customer service was top tier. They were so attentive and professional. Everyone equally had enough knowledge to answer my many questions so the process went very smoothly. My house was finished two whole days earlier than expected so that was also a bonus. I will definitely be hiring 247 painting again!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Tulare, 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.
