Levelling interlocking brick

Our interlocking brick in front of the garage and our walk way to the front door had sunk over the years. My husband and I are hands on people but this was not a task we wanted to take on. Our neighbours had their driveway and walkways levelled by Zen Construction and I was impressed by the workmanship and called immediately to get a quote. Josh came by and gave us a quote and at that time Josh mentioned that the job would likely not be done until September but possibly sooner which was fine with us. I got a call from Josh to tell me that they could fit me in this week - (July 26/17) which made me quite happy.
The workers showed up at the time that I was told and Sylvester came to our door to introduce himself and we went over what was to be done, which was exactly what Josh had quoted me and they got to work. The job was done in a very timely manner and we are EXTREMELY happy with the outcome. It looks amazing, looks like new!.
I must mention that it was evident that Sylvester took great pride in his work. I would highly recommend Zen Construction for whatever project you may be considering.

Wow, thank you so much Chrissie for this review. One of the toughest aspects in our office is scheduling and keeping within timelines. With unpredictable weather and additions or changes to quoted jobs, this tasks takes much knowledge and experience - both of which Josh has plenty of! We are very pleased that we were able to come in before expected and finish within budgeted time. And yes, Sly is one of the BEST stone masons we have ever met. He does take great pride in his work and craftsmanship, leaving no stone 'un-turned'. Looking forward to hearing from you for any future projects. But for now, we hope you enjoy your front interlock for many many years to come. Have a wonderful summer!

Sincerely,
Zen Team

Replace front steps

We asked Josh to come up with a plan to replace our front steps which were unsafe. He had his staff design a new entrance that included a landing and railing. We are very pleased with the result.
The crew were very easy to talk to, hard working and took pride in their work. They had to work through some difficult weather.
We would not hesitate to call on Zen for any future projects. An excellent company to work with.
Well done!

Large deck and stone patio

Start to finish in under a week, terrific results. We love our new deck and patio. It feels like we are living on a resort. Zen listened to our ideas and crafted a plan that tailored our deck to our needs.

Front and backyard garden deep edging

We have a large front and back garden...they deep edged the front VERY neat and placed new mulch...looks fantastic. In the back they had to remove stone edging and cut the deep edge and mulch....neat and now has a 'wow' factor.
The guys were quiet, polite and worked hard all day..we were very pleased.

Interlocking bricks

Excellent group of people to work with. All questions were asked and answered professionally. Work site was always clean and organized. Streets were never blocked to cause neighbourhood inconvenience.

Finished our Deck

Zen came in to finish off a deck project for us. They were very professional and did an amazing job. We are very happy with the result. Only complaint would be billing issue where they forgot to bill me for some items that they bought until after the project was finished.

Hey there Chris,

Thanks for the feed back! I do agree with you regarding the invoicing issue. With the nature of your project and us coming in half way to finish the job up it makes it hard for us to give a fair price. Had we of started the job from the get go it would be very easy for me to give a fair price using our regular pricing for decks. Hourly jobs are a lot more work to keep organized, unfortunately some materials were missed until credit card statements came in and we realized we had missed some of your costs. We greatly appreciate you working with us after the fact to complete the payments. We hope your deck gets you guys outside and enjoying the sun for years to come! Give us a call if you need any more help! Cheers
