Trim and molding painting is where the true quality of a paint job is revealed. Crisp, clean lines between walls and trim, perfectly smooth baseboards, and elegantly painted crown molding are the hallmarks of a professionally executed interior. Danis Painting Co. specializes in detail-oriented trim and molding painting throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties. We paint all interior trim elements: baseboards, door and window casings, crown molding, chair rails, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, built-in cabinetry, fireplace mantels, and decorative millwork. Trim painting requires a different skill set than wall painting — it demands steady hands, precise masking, and the right paint formulation. We use semi-gloss and gloss alkyd and water-based enamels that cure to a hard, washable surface that resists scuffs and cleans easily. Our process includes thorough sanding of all trim surfaces to remove old brush marks and imperfections, filling of nail holes and gaps with paintable caulk, and careful back-masking of walls to achieve razor-sharp paint lines. For new construction and renovation projects, we coordinate with contractors to paint trim before installation when possible — the most efficient approach for achieving a factory-smooth finish. We also handle exterior trim painting, including fascia boards, soffits, window surrounds, shutters, and decorative brackets.
Assessment: we inspect all trim surfaces for damage, peeling, nail holes, and gaps that need attention

Priming: application of high-adhesion primer on bare wood and repaired areas

Mark and his team do great work. Very efficient, polite, cleaned up. We had no issues with them working on our complicated project. They even put the pots back that they had to move.
