"We called Custom Colors to get an estimate to paint the entire lower level of our home, the stair and hallways, and two bedrooms in the upstairs.  Mark came to our house within a few hours of calling to prepare an estimate.  He answered all of our questions and provided a lot of information while looking through the house.  The estimate arrived within a week.  While it was the lowest bid we received, we chose Custom Colors in large part because we felt that the team would do a quality job.  We were not disappointed! Mark told us he would be able to complete the work towards the end of September.  He called at the beginning of the last week of September to schedule the job for later that week.  The crew arrived very promptly on the morning they were scheduled and started work immediately.  They were very careful in our home and made a point to keep things very tidy while working.  It was also a huge bonus that they moved all of the furniture away from the walls for us and returned it to the original position.  Most importantly though, our walls look great!  The paint they used is very high quality and has already withstood a few marks.  Overall the walls are very even; we've only noticed a few very small paint drips.  The foreman on the crew was especially helpful.  After the first day of painting, we noticed a small patch of paint showing through where we had tested some paint samples.  The team repaired this and made sure our other sample areas did not show through before leaving for the day.  Overall, our experience was very positive, and we would definitely work with Custom Colors again.

"They showed up on time, did an amazing job. They also power washed, stained and seal coated my deck and floor of my gazebo. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of everyday! Danny and his brother and helper honored the estimate they gave us last year... they also warranty their work and gave us a copy. I would highly recommend them to others and cannot say enough good things about them."

"Fantastic! The men from JD Hostetter came out sooner than expected to take care of our badly peeling deck. They removed the patio furniture, pressure washed - came back a few days later to sand and scrape the deck before painting. The crew was polite, prompt, professional - it was a job well done!"

"We have been homeowners for 40 years and this was probably the best service we have received as homeowners. Their work involved prep and painting on a three story house. They also worked on three different deck areas. They completed all of the items in the contract and also replaced some rotted wood at the top of our house which was discovered by the workers on the roof. We had some questions during the six day process and they were addressed immediately by the owner of the business. Their work on our house was outstanding. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend C & Z Painting."

"Steve and his crew are wonderful. Very conscientious and perfectionist. I knew this from indoor work they had done. The outdoor work on my deck was more challenging I think and they did an excellent job. Very respectful of my property and myself as well."

"Jason did some exterior painting of trim on our home as well as deck repair and stain. I followed his suggestion for a stain color and it worked out great. He did a fine job, was punctual, and very neat and tidy. He responded promptly to texts. I look forward to working with him again. He came back and completed a small job for me as well."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.
