Why Berkeley Trim Work Is More Than Just Rolling On Paint
Berkeley has a charming mix of vintage bungalows and mid-century homes with original wood trim. Many of these houses have been painted multiple times over the decades, and old layers of oil-based enamel need serious prep before new paint will stick. Our trim painting crew knows how to handle these surfaces the right way.
Old enamel rejects latex
We sand and prime every piece of old trim. Standard on baseboard painting in Berkeley.
Settling cracks need repair
Berkeley homes settle over time. We fill and caulk every crack before painting.
Nail holes in old trim
Every hole gets filled, sanded and primed so it disappears under the new paint.
Previous drips and brush marks
We sand out old imperfections so the new finish is smooth and even.
Cut lines are the first thing you see
A straight line where trim meets the wall makes the whole room look finished.
Masking is critical
We tape floors, walls and glass before painting. See our window trim painting approach.
