"Cesar and his crew just finished a remodel of my master bathroom. This is the second major project completed in my home by CSZ (prior kitchen remodel) and once again they exceeded my expectations. Cesar worked with me along the way to come up with the perfect design to ensure all my requirements were met. He is knowledgeable and his attention to detail is second to none. The CSZ crew, Armondo and Benjamin were also a pleasure to work with. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and hardworking. They also did an exceptional job cleaning up at the end of each work day. My dog even loves them! I highly recommend CSZ Construction. They will most certainly be back for future projects in my home!"

"We had an issue with a leak in our roof. Called and talked to Spiro. He came out the same day and took a look at it. In a short period of time Chico had it fixed and did a super job. They were both timely, professional and got the job done right. I highly recommend this company. Thank you for being a company I can depend on. I will definitely call them in the future."

Customers say: Quick response

"I used Beni and Vini multiple times after they repaired my deck leg. For framing and paint on my front door, for painting my apartment after my tenants moved out and for some flooring repairs. I couldn't be more grateful to have found them. Beni is truly the best, he works hard, he says what he means, he gets the job done. That is hard to find nowadays. When I felt stressed and anxious, they gave me alternative options and put my mind at ease. I plan on using their services many more times in the future. I don't know what I would have done without them!! Thank you guys so much!!"

"JNA were phenomenal. Neat, clean and professional. My wife and I highly recommend them. They repaired our kitchen ceiling that caved in due to a leak, put up new sheet rock, sanded down including the walls where there were distortions and painted the entire kitchen and moldings. We will definitely be calling on them again in the future."

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.
