"After the initial consultation we decided to expand the job significantly to have the decks washed and painted, the exterior of the house pressure washed and painted, decaying wood trim removed and replaced, critical areas re-caulked, wall paper removed from 2 bathrooms and the dining room, those rooms plus three more rooms repainted, several water damaged ceilings repaired and repainted, one wall in the basement removed due to traces of mold and replaced and repainted, four short wooden columns outside repaired, water proofed and repainted, and a number of other small items that needed painting were also addressed. This was a huge job that was completed to our satisfaction over several weeks. That the job completion was this long was due in part to some rainy weather, to job and vacation conflicts, and to availability of necessary materials. When it was apparent that this job had grown so much that the original job completion date might be delayed, Danny marshaled extra workers and with that beehive of activity he was able to complete the job on time and to our satisfaction."

"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."

"They power-washed, matched my house trim and stained my entire fence. Chris was knowledgeable and patiently answered all my questions. From the day I called to finish was less than 10 days. Professional, courteous, considerate and friendly. Nate kept me informed when and what would happen. And they cleaned up all around! I definitely would call them for painting on other projects on my list!"

"Went very well they were on time efficient kept the area very clean professional. I couldn't decide what color I wanted to go with he made some recommendations and he painted a few different parts of the house to let me see it and make my decision. We really like the new clean modern look of the bright white with black shutters and black gutters. Would absolutely hire again and recommend to any friends and family...."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.
