I was looking for someone to evaluate and repair leakage and water damage in a downstairs bathroom. I have worked with contractors and JZ contractors were recommended by neighbors. Mr.Zarou provided a comprehensive evaluation, some very concrete suggestions for repair and renovation and a timeline for completion. He met the deadline for completion and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations in every way, including cost. read more

J Z Painting - The shower that replaced a damaged hot tub. - Painters Near Me

JZ did a great job. John was very communicative and responsive and his team did a very professional job. I highly recommend his company.

We hired JZ painting & are very happy with the exterior painting job they did for us. We hired them to paint all the wood trim, & while not the lowest bid received, they were efficient, tidy, did good work, & John (the owner) was very conscientious about customer satisfaction. Great communicator, detail focused, friendly, & provides good oversight of his team. Best painting experience we've had to date. They actually taped and covered siding to protect from paint drips! At the end of the job did a walkthrough with us before requesting p read more

J Z Painting - Painted trim & garage - Painters Near Me

As a contractor myself, I have high expectations--and JZ Painting exceeded every one of them. My own crew was tied up on other projects, and JZ Painting stepped in quickly with competitive pricing, quality workmanship, and a team that delivered exactly what I envisioned. Communication with the owner was exceptional from start to finish. No long wait times, no back-and-forth delays--just clear, prompt, and professional responses that made coordination effortless. What impressed me most was their ability to perform under extremely challenging conditions. With 25-30 mph wind gusts and a three-story exterior to paint, I fully expected delays. Instead, they performed absolute magic. Their precision, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the job done safely and correctly were remarkable. This project was for one of our premier rentals in Alexandria, and the final result looks fantastic. I would absolutely use JZ Painting again for future projects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a reliable, high-quality painting crew. A+ service, craftsmanship, and professionalism. read more

JZ did some overdue work to save my classic Barber & Ross windows, and I have a lot of them. Lots of trim repair and a fresh couple of coats of paint...The crew showed up on-time and were both courteous and professional, going well above and beyond the call in handing the details of this large project. The price was very fair, and the results were great. I have lived in this home for 20 yrs, and this is a 4-5yr ritual--JZ's crew did the best job so far. read more

We hired JZ Painting to clean and paint the entire exterior of our two story house. John was courteous and professional. I didn't want to be "that guy" but we had some changes after the original meeting, and they were very accommodating. What I appreciate the most is the attention to detail. I can't stress that enough. I have high standards, but the work JZ's crew did here was immaculate. The crew was friendly and professional, and the site was clean and tidy at the end of each day. I have had several people comment on how good their work looks from the street, and it looks even better up close. The cost initially seemed a little high, based on previous jobs, but this crew is on a different level. I'm still amazed at the skill level of the crew, and the attention to detail that they put into the job. I would hire them again, and recommend to anyone that values experience and skill. read more

J Z Painting recently painted all the exterior trim on the second and third stories of my townhouse. They were very timely and able to take on the job quickly before the cold weather. The crew of 4-5 painters (over course of two days) was very careful inside our house as they needed to come and go to open or clean windows during the process. The paint job looks excellent, and we had good, consistent communication with the owner. read more

After a couple of estimates we chose JZ Painting because of his thorough examination of the outside of our house. John and his crew carried that attention to detail every step of the way. Outstanding work ethic. We could not have asked for more. John always responded to questions and he kept a close eye on that work that was being done. The house was painted to perfection! Many thanks to John and his crew. It is great to know we can call on John for any future jobs read more

John and his team did a wonderful job painting our whole townhome (wall repair, and painting walls, baseboards, stair banisters, and finished basement ceiling). They were very responsive and reliable, and they were able to get my job done on my desired timeframe. I think they went above and beyond to make sure the paint job looked nice. For example, I mentioned we were getting new flooring/carpet, and they pulled up the old carpet on the stairs for me before painting so that the paint job would be seamless with my new carpet. I also think it was a very fair price for the work being done. I would absolutely recommend! read more

We called JZ Painting to help us repaint our front door, the outdoor trim and front wooden section of our home. They first power washed the house and inspected the area that needed to be painted. His team found rotted wood and not only did a stellar job at washing and painting but they also repaired the wood! His prices were fair and he was in touch the entire duration of the project. Highly recommend! read more

John Zarou's J Z Painting L.L.C. just completed painting the exterior of my townhouse and applying a coat of solid stain to my deck and it is the best paint job I had in the 37 years I've lived here. I've never seen such attention to detail. If you are thinking about calling a contractor to paint your home; J Z Painting is the best you can do. John K Nusbaum Reston Virginia read more

Seems like all the 5-star reviews are correct. John responded quickly and worked with me to modify the work statement based on his findings. The crew showed up when they said they would and the guys were very careful around the house and gardens. Miraculously, no paint was spilled anywhere (not my experience with other contractors). The crew paid meticulous attention to detail. My house is a very difficult one, with lots and lots of places that require painting and many of them are in difficult places. The roof edge board on one side of my house is 35' off the ground, causing two painting contractors to not give me a quote. Another contractor turned me down because my second floor windows on the back of the house required the painters to walk on skylights. The result was perfection. My sincere thanks to John and his crew. read more

J Z Painting - Painters Near Me

I really enjoyed working with JZ! I could tell right away that I was in good hands with my project. The area around my chimney was allowing water into my house and damaging the drywall and hearth area. He did a great job trouble shooting (was quite thorough) and repairing the issue: power washing, replacing siding, sealing/caulking, repairing our brick work, flashing, and painting. He was very responsive to all communication, came in on time and budget from his quote, always gave me clear expectations, and was very reasonable with prices. I would HIGHLY recommend him and look forward to calling him for all my projects. read more

John quickly responded to my request for a quote, showed up with his crew to access the job, gave me a reasonable quote with a few laughs along the way. His crew showed up on time and did a great job painting my kitchen. read more

I paid a handyman price to do handyman work. The price to install an OTR microwave/install receptacle and cabinet was agreed to site unseen, and he maintained the price even though there was complications. The methodical manner John used to complete the cabinet installation was welcoming. Where the stars really start falling off are with the electrical work. In the photos we can see a low voltage ring was utilized where a new work box would have been appropriate per code. My house, potentially the most expensive item that I'll ever purchase, is very important to me. And when an individual exposes my house to violations such as these, I have to communicate as such. I knew enough to allow the installation and follow back up to make my house safe. Lesson learned. Use the right tools for the job. J Z Painting is great for cabinetry, but I would be skeptical of electrical work. read more

John and his crew are stupendous! Their work is expert level, their pricing is incredibly reasonable, and John (the owner) is an honest, warm-hearted, hilarious guy! It was a pleasure to work with him and his team and our house looks fantastic! They did the exterior brick and got a great deal on the paint which they passed on to me. Plus they used the best, quality mason paint and so didn't need to prime. They know what they're doing. Highly recommend!! read more

J Z Painting - Painters Near Me

We hired J Z Painting, (John Zarou, Pedro and his crew) to interior paint 2/3 of our new home and so glad that we did! It took a few days to receive the quote, but John and his team were very thorough with the walk through, so I knew that his team would pay attention to detail. The team was able to start the next day and we were told it would take a week to complete the work. His team finished ahead of schedule, 2 days early and John was very communicative with us every step of the way. We were very impressed with the work the team performed. I can't even remember where all the cracks and nail pops were either. It makes the house look brand new. We are so impressed with the level of work/detail, that we are considering painting the remaining 1/3 of our house at some point and will certainly be hiring John and his crew again when we're ready. I highly recommend this company if you need interior painting. John, the owner is also very nice and funny, and easy to communicate with. You will not be disappointed. read more

I noticed JZ Painting at my neighbor's house several weeks ago. I called to see if they were satisfied with the job and my neighbor told me that he's just JZ for many years and has always been highly satisfied. I am putting my house on the market and needed to freshen up some things. I called and left a message for John and received a return call that evening and he came out the following day to look at the job. I needed exterior painting on our portico railings. As we were looking at that project he commented on my flight of concrete stairs, which were in sorry shape. He told me he could do that, along w/ power washing. As we walked around the house he pointed out that he could also power wash my paver patio and my deck, and could also stain the deck. John brought his crew leader out a day later to walk the job then noticed some wood rot around my garage door. He also recommended applying a fresh coat of paint on my garage door. The following day he called with a quote that was very reasonable for the amount of work. The crew of 3 arrived on time and worked diligently to complete the work over 2 days. The results were awesome! I was so happy to find a professional, courteous, reliable, quality painter. I would recommend John for any painting and power washing. read more

Look forward to working with him on any future projects we may have! read more
