"Dan was timely in giving me a quote and then scheduled the work a month or so out to fit my schedule. He and his team did just as they promised. They cleaned the siding and gutters, caulked any cracks, replaced a few cedar boards and then painted it all with a thick coat of Sherwin Williams paint. It looks great and they left no mess. Will use Dan for my future painting."

"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."

I contacted Dennie regarding the repair and he came out the same day to see what needed to be done. He assured me that it could be repaired and repainted and re-textured back to it's original condition. He worked around my schedule. He did the patch one day and then returned the next day to introduce his employee and brief him on the project. Horatio painted the entire section of wall affected ( so that the paint would match).. Per my request, I also had Horatio paint some window trim that had needed a touch up. Dennie charged me a nominal amount. Horatio did a terrific job on both of the painting projects. Dennie's drywall repair was perfect. No one will ever know that the drywall had even been damaged! Dennie returned later in the day to check Horatio's work and to collect payment. Dennie was so friendly...as was Horatio...! I would definitely recommend him again...although I hope I do not  have any more drywall holes in my future!

"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 team did a great job in every aspect of this project. They were quick to come out and give us an estimate and start on painting the bedroom. The work is immaculate and they cleaned up very well after themselves. I highly recommend this company and already plan on using them again to stain my exterior door."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

Costs depend on coating type, labor, site preparation, and required finishes.
