Highly recommend TJZE for all painting projects. Carlos and team did a great job in painting our family room, two bedrooms and our front door. Carlos was very helpful in getting the paint colors just as I selected. They also properly protected our furniture and floors and left everything clean. The work was done very timely and efficiently. I’m very happy with the results.

Carlos and his team were awesome! Quick and efficient, and extremely accommodating. Carlos added some much needed character to our new build by painting the cabinets in our primary bathroom, kitchen, and kitchen island. We’re excited to work with him again!

This is AAA service and quality work. They go above and beyond the scope of the project and deliver EXCELLENT service! They are my ‘go to’ when I need painting and repair for builder errors.

Carlos was a pleasure to work with. His company came into my home and upgraded it by removing popcorn/texture ceilings from two levels. He also refinished my kitchen cabinets, island and installed handles. The best thing is that he was easy to communicate with and offered great suggestions for the renovations we have going. He’s also very resourceful in helping you find contractors for other projects. I do plan on working with Carlos again and I HIGHLY recommend him. Very professional, flexible, responsible!

TJ ZE Painting came to my rescue for an assignment that was in the making for many years. While home during the pandemic, I discovered just how much I didn’t appreciate the textured ceilings. My house was built in the early 1990’s and the stuff was everywhere. Carlos showed up and provided options to make it go away. Throughout the journey he and his team were knowledgeable, professional, courteous and timely. They removed all of the textured ceilings and painted the entire inside of my home while protecting everything in it and not leaving a mess behind. His pricing was fair. Thank you Carlos and team for making my dreams come true.
