Reviews From The Web

  Tips for working with them:
- Communicate regularly and often. Prior to painting, I took the time to send my mocked-up photo visualizations, creating a computer-generated image based on the original (as-is) to illustrate exactly how I wanted the home to look.
- This helped them to suggest paint colors and stains which aligned with my vision.
- Along the way, there were indeed tweaks and modifications (i.e. changing the exterior trim color from Magic Black to Tricorn Black, showing the Garage painted Urban Bronze vs. Dovetail, etc) but showing exactly what was changed to the new result and confirming it verbally meant that our home turned out precisely how I had envisioned, even if there were minor changes along the way
- As I made changes, I communicated them immediately, first to Erick, my sales contact, via cell or email, then to Mariam, Zarazua's incredible office coordinator, and additionally, to Jullian, the project supervisor
- Particularly during the summer months, but at other times especially, OFFER THEM WATER! Of course, they would bring their own, but I felt as though it was the least I could do while they focused on painting over 2700 square feet of home.
- They are more than just painters. When I mentioned the changing of nine light fixtures around the house, they booked an electrician, specialized and trained to change out the lights. rather than relying on me and a YouTube video.
- Our renovation also included the removal of some overhanging cabinets, which opened up the room. The carpenter and I offered a few outcomes of how it would or could look, recommending not removing what he pointed out was a structural support beam in the process (thank goodness!)
- This team is meticulous, but they are also willing to return and fix anything they may have missed after completing the job.  This goes above and beyond customer service, in my opinion.
- As a caution, remember that every job has its hiccups and original timelines can come with unexpected delays. I would recommend that if you are against a deadline, plan for a buffer time of 2-3 days just in case the job takes longer than expected.  They are not the type of contractor to promise the work completed in a week and for it to take 3 weeks. However, depending on the level of color matching and touch-ups, the time it takes to do tasks outside of cleaning, etc, you may find that the timeline can stretch, which isn't that surprising. For example, my crew successfully and graciously removed all the contents of my garage, including shelves lined with bottles and cans of my own paint, to the center of the garage, simply because I ran out of time to do so.
- I couldn't recommend this team and the experience working with them enough. Over two weeks, they became more than just the contractors at my home, we became friends, aligned to a goal, and I think I can say that we were all pleased with the result.

  We recently bought an old home in Durham, and I asked my painter for a recommendation, and he directed me to Zarazua.

The experience was positive from start to finish. More than that, I am a pain-in-the-neck client who is always needing a favor here and a favor there, and they always were able to help me out. We were managing this project from literally 3,000 miles away, which was stressful enough, but Zarazua was by far the easiest vendor to work with.

Strongly recommend!

We used Zarazua to remove a free standing fireplace and chimney from our single story home. This was a significant... project of heavy demolition while protecting existing hardwood flooring and exterior Trex decking, followed by patching the roof, ceiling and floor to match. They were very prompt and responsive to questions about details on the estimate of work and concerns all throughout the project. They were committed to assuring the job was completed to satisfaction and addressed all concerns in a timely manner. The job was estimated at two weeks but did go into a third week to revisit getting the new maple hardwood floor color to better match the existing fifteen year old flooring - in hindsight, this part of the project could have gone better if we would have been more engaged with the floor guys about expectations and process, but perseverance paid off as they were committed to getting it right. I would recommend Zarazua and will consider them for any future work.read more

The whole Zarazua team has been AMAZING to work with! Juan did an excellent job of shaping the vision for the project... and providing a quick and thorough estimate for the work. They were able to get started very quickly and Juan Ramon and Martin did an amazing job renovating our kitchen and dining room. They went above and beyond on the project, providing excellent guidance, asked good questions to make sure things were installed the way we wanted, and were able to adapt on the fly to alterations to the initial plan. I will absolutely work with Zarazua again the next time I have a project and would encourage you to do so as well!read more

The Zarazua team did an excellent job painting and repairing my porch and deck, as well as as repainting some of the... windowsills. The consult was quick and efficient, and the online invoice thorough and easy to understand. The project team was on-time, courteous, and cleaned things up completely afterwards. They matched colors, replaced rotten wood where needed, and otherwise turned back time in the best possible way. Even the parts of the house exterior they didn't redo benefited from a thorough power wash. The only downside is that now the rest of the house cries out for that special Zarazua touch! Highly recommended all around.read more

I had a great experience with Zarazua. The estimate they gave me was competitive and they did not exceed it. The... painters meticulously prepped the exterior of my house before painting. The carpenter replaced the rotten spots on my siding, using materials that I already had. Alexander, my project manager, and Mariam, the office manager, communicated effectively and were easy to work with. When Jorge came to collect my final payment, he noticed a crack in the caulk, so he sent someone back to correct it. Overall, I felt that I was dealing with upstanding people, managing a high quality project.read more

We had Zarazua do some light carpentry and painting to update our exterior and rehab our deck and porch. They were... on-time, professional and fast. Zarazua is well-known for not skimping on the prep work, and our project was no different. We were pleased with the quality and friendliness of the team and would definitely use them again!read more

First Class Excellence !!! This company is very well-run and has an extremely strong customer service ethic. They... even have a staffed office which is available to customers for proposal, billing and scheduling questions throughout the course of a project. We hired Zarazua Painting to paint the exterior of a house that we own in Durham. Their salesperson who came out to estimate the job was knowledgable, personable, professional, and a very good listener. The proposal for painting services was on-time, thorough, and easy to understand. We agreed on a time-frame for starting and finishing the work. Due to a change in their scheduling, they offered to start and complete the work sooner than our agreement. The painters worked really hard (six days per week !). We received a flawless newly-painted house exterior. The project manager organized the work at the outset, stopped by a few times during the painting project, and followed up at completion with a detailed on-site inspection of the work. Hire them because it doesn't get better than this !!!read more

Jorge and his crew did a wonderful job of interior painting! They repaired dry wall where needed, and the finished... product looks like new construction. Zarazua was very professional from Mariam scheduling the timing of the work to Eric doing the initial estimate with a detailed quote about the work to be done. The crew of 4 painters (including Jorge) were punctual, courteous and careful to make sure that all their work met expectations, including a final walk-through at completion. I will absolutely use them again in the future and would recommend them without reservation.read more

We hired Zarazua to repaint & repair the exterior wooden trim and interior flaking areas (plaster wall) on my mother's... historic home AND to paint the exterior (aluminum siding) & reglaze the ancient wooden windows of our 1940's era home. I highly recommend this company. The estimator (Eric) answered all our questions, noticed areas of repair to my mother's home, and made sure to match colors for her home and ours. When the painters discovered rot in our window sills they quickly called in the skilled carpentry team who replaced them. Our newly glazed windows look fantastic! We could schedule exactly when we wanted to have our houses painted. The painters were timely, prepared for everything, AND cleaned up every day when they were finished. Communication with the office(Mariam) and the team supervisor was easy. The painters were skilled, warm, hard working. I was impressed at their thorough preparation and superb post project clean up. The team that worked with my mother was wonderful and did a great job repairing the walls inside her home. The result is our homes look beautiful! Note: any paint smears on the brick were done by previous painters 20+ years ago.read more

We just had Zarazua Painting paint our entire house, inside and out. That work included painting our kitchen and... bathroom cabinets. The company was great to work with, communicating with us regularly both before the job started and during the entire process. When we needed to reschedule the start of the job due to life events, they were quite accommodating.The on-site team did a great job, were very professional, and did their best to minimize the disruption of the renovation process. We’re thrilled with the results and would definitely use Zarazua Painting in the future!read more

Zarazua did a great job and was wonderful to work with! They painted the interior of our entire house as well as... cabinets in the kitchen and bookshelves. They also remodeled 2 bathrooms, re-roofed, updated exterior painting and deck, and installed new flooring. Every person in our house was professional and courteous (especially when we had work calls or nap time with the kids). The pricing was great and coordinating on any changes was a good process. We give Zarazua a full recommendation to anyone doing remodeling at a large or small scale. Thanks to the Zarazua team for the great work!read more

The team did demo, painted the entire interior, removed old flooring, removed the popcorn ceiling, replaced vanities, installed new cabinets and a tile backsplash. They also had their electrician come and install all new lighting. The house looks awesome. Anything we needed they took care of in a timely matter. We will definitely use Zarazua again!read more

Juan and his team refinished our stair railings.

They also replaced the dates balusters / spindles and refinished the handrails. The team did an excellent job cleaning up each evening and were good to work with when adjustments were needed. I will definitely contact them for future projects.Aug. 2022 update … the Zarazua team painted two rooms for me (plus some ceiling drywall repair in two other rooms). They were easy to schedule (faster than expected) and did an excellent job. I usually have to have some touch ups done to fix missed spots, but I had none of that to worry about on this job.

We have used the Zarazua Painting team many times for interior painting over the past 5 years. They have painted almost... every room in our home. When it was time to repaint our home's exterior, it was an easy choice to return to the Zarazua Painting team. They did a wonderful job painting all of our exterior siding, trim, shutters, and lattice, and they also applied new stain to our front porch. The Zarazua painters consistently demonstrate great care and attention to detail, including painting the cages that keep rodents out of our exterior vents to help them blend into the siding. The Zarazua Painting team had great communication throughout our project and I am very pleased with the value that we received for the cost of the project. We will continue to return the Zarazua Painting team whenever we have painting needs, and I cannot recommend them enough.read more

Juan Zarazua and his team recently finished converting a free-standing garage into the perfect home office. That meant... closing in the garage door, conditioning the whole space, reinforcing the structure, and building a whole lot of bookshelves to store … a whole lot of books. The talented crew rebuilt the walls inside and out, repaired and re-painted the siding, reinforced the structure to code, put on a new roof, took care of an electrical refit, laid a beautiful heated tile floor, and built enough bookshelves to house our over 1,000 books plus a rolling library ladder to maximize the use of space (and, let’s be honest, just because).

I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with this family-owned company. The entire experience was flawless from... beginning to end. The quote was simple- snap a few photos of your rooms, and the estimate is sent via email. They set a date, and arrived promptly at 8am to get started. Alexander and his team were terrific. Alexander helped me decide on the type of paint and sheen based on our needs. He told me how he has taken classes, and received certifications over the years to understand painting - from technique, to the anatomy of the paintbrush to the chemistry of the paint- and passed this knowledge to their staff. We had a big job and Yosgar, Lucy, Roxana, Miguel, Charlie, and Antonio all worked daily from 8-6pm to get this done for us by Friday. I was impressed by how careful they were to remove nail pops, smooth blemishes, and prepare the walls. They all were meticulous about keeping the house clean- and I love that they remove everything for you and put it back exactly as it was prior. It was as if they weren’t ever there- except I have fresh paint on the walls! They even vacuumed on their way out. I noticed that they take pictures of the way things are arranged to ensure everything is put back in place exactly as they found it. I wouldn’t recommend anybody else for your painting needs- and they will definitely be my go to should I ever need painting services in the future!!read more

For both the interior and exterior painting, all of the workers wore masked and kept distance. There were no issues with COVID.Our neighbors recommended Zarazua and we could not be happier. We highly recommend them.read more

We used Zarazua for interior painting of our entryway, hallway, bonus room, and two sets of staircases. Antonio and... Roxanna were great to work with. They took the time to prep our floors and patch imperfections in the walls prior to painting. They also sanded in-between coats of paint to ensure a smooth finish. They cleaned and vacuumed every day after working. Our house feels so much more refreshed after getting a facelift with new paint. I will plan to use Zarazua again in the future for other painting projects.read more

Then the paint job and fixing areas that needed patching... too notch!! I have used many painters and Zarazua painting does the best!! They really take the time to prep the walls ans everything before they even start painting!! We will be using them to paint the outside of our home this summer for sure!read more

We purchased a house that needed major renovations, new hardwood floors, new kitchen island, (6’ X 11’), interior... painting, deck redesign with cable fence.Based on a friend’s recommendation, we contacted Zarazua Painting, who provided subs for virtually all of our house renovations. Juan Zarazua was a wonderful resource for interior designs suggestions. If Zarazua Painting did not provide a service, they have a list electrical, plumbing, etc, subs that they can recommend.Their subs were very professional, on time and they practiced COVID-19 safety protocol.The price estimates were competitive and professionally presented as were their invoices.We would highly recommend Zarazua Painting for all your house renovations.read more

Zarazua Painting exceeded all of my expectations, even knowing the good recommendation I'd received from a neighbor.... They repaired stucco, power washed and repainted our house, and painted external doors. The price was very fair. Their team Chris and Bambino were professional, hard-working, and responsive to my requests (for example, hanging bird balloons to hopefully prevent more holes in the stucco). I also used their complimentary design service with Aryn to choose new house colors - her advice was spot on and made the house look so much better. They really paid attention to the details. The owner and team took pride in their work, and fixed little things without changing the price to make the house look the best it could. At the end of the job, they cleaned all windows by hand to really make the house stand out. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that they guarantee their work for a year! I would give 10 stars out of 5 if I could, and will definitely be using them again if the need arises.read more

Zarazua just completed painting the exterior of our home and they did an excellent job! We used them years ago to... paint our interior and they did such a great job, that they are the only company we contacted when we were ready to paint the exterior. We are the type of people that always get multiple bids on such projects so it says a lot that we only contacted Zarazua for this job, and would do the same for any other work we have that they cover. From start to finish the process was easy and seamless at a price that was very reasonable and fair. They did such amazing high quality work, the house is transformed and we don't stop getting complements on it. They went above and beyond and anticipated and addressed anything that came up before we did and were very flexible with some new requests that came up. We have a keen eye for detail but we could not find one thing to point to during the final walk through due to the quality of their craftsmanship for every little detail. They were very clean and careful with our yard and house, took all measures to protect our belongings from spills or splashes and everyone is genuinely very nice, always making sure we were happy throughout the process. To be honest we were a little sad when the job finished and the crew was no longer coming over- they were great to have around. We may need to come up with another job for them soon! I highly recommend them without any hesitation- Thank you Zarazua!read more

Super satisfied with our roofing experience with Zarazura. They showed up when they were supposed to, were fast and... efficient with both the removal of the old roof and the installation of the new one, and completely cleaned up afterwards. We were so happy with the company that we had them back a couple of days later for some ceiling repairs. The workers put down plastic over everything, wore masks the whole time, and did an fantastic job with the repairs. The only evidence that they were ever here is that our ceilings look great. Five stars! We will definitely use this company again!read more

Zarazua did a phenomenal job on our deck repair and staining, exterior painting touch up, and interior paint for our... entire house as we prepped the house for sale. Alexander and his teams were exceptional and no detail was too small for their full attention. Clear communication channels before, during, and after the projects were complete. Can’t wait to use Zarazua again when we move into our new home!read more

Zarazua's crew just completed their third job for me in a year; 1) replaced siding some aging on my house; 2) screened... in my front porch; and 3) repainted an interior bedroom. In other words, they have done exterior carpentry and painting, framing and finish carpentry, and interior painting for me. Without exception that work has been of excellent quality. It has also been done in a timely manner and with an attention to detail. I recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation.read more

I would highly recommend Zarazua painting. They just completed replacing our vinyl siding with hardie plank, painted... the new siding, brick, window trim, and doors. The crew all paid great attention to detail and do an impressive job at preparing the house prior to painting so you get those crisp, clean lines! I plan to use Juan and his crew for several other future projects. Our 1967 house looks totally refreshed and amazing!read more

I don't even know where to start... These guys are amazing. From day 1 when Juan came in to give us an estimate on the... entire work, to Mario, working with us making sure we are happy with every single details, to Trinidad, explaining us details of the work and helping us make right decisions as we go, to Wendy, helping us organize things - these guys are amazing! Our house is pretty big, and we bought it in a questionable condition. I was skeptic about one company fixing everything we wanted the way we wanted. Not only they double and triple checked their own work to make sure that there are no glitches anywhere on the walls or floor, but they actually repainted part of our bathroom when we realized that we didn't like the color that we picked - for free! They went back and forth to the house for weeks with us to make sure that we were happy with the way our deck looks, and answered all the questions we had about it. And my favorite story is that when the hose on the side of the house (i'm telling you, it is an older house) got accidentally unplugged, Juan had his plumber (another man who knows what he does!) come and fix it within 24 hours. I could tell more stories and bring more examples of how these guys are second to none, but I suggest you hire them and make your own experiences with them. I promise you, you won't regret that decision. We are definitely having them back!read more

CLEVELAND ST. DURHAM NC

The Freeland Markham house, Constructed some time between 1907 and 1910, this two-story frame house is a distinguishable example of the late Victorian neoclassical styling popular at that time. The most striking feature of the house is the one-story wraparound porch with a second pedimented tier at the entrance bay; throughout both tiers, the supports are finely detailed Corinthian columns on brick plinths. Leaded glass transoms, sidelights and rondels embellish the front entrances. Although the house is somewhat deteriorated, its exterior is completely intact and the interior is little altered. Matthew Freeland Markham, a partner in the Sneed-Markham-Taylor Company men’s clothing store, had the house built and lived in it until his death in1948.
