Jeff came by and gave us a fair estimate and good recommendations to improve the overall layout of the proposed design. We had a general idea of what we wanted and Jeff helped point out different perspectives that we greatly appreciated. All their crews were booked up with work for several months in advance, which told me that A LOT of people were eager to use this company. Now that the deck is finished I can see why. The quality and craftsmanship is incredible and impressed my general contractor father. You can tell this was a very experienced crew that got the whole project done in a little over a week, which is amazing. We opted to go with a higher tier Trex plank material for its low maintenance and durability. The price was fair (middle of the road from the other estimates I got) but the overall value was outstanding when you see and feel how sturdy and well constructed it is. If you're looking for a new deck, you will not be disappointed with these guys!

After interviewing 3 different window replacement companies, we were most impressed with Ty's…read morepresentation from Zen Windows. He was up front with pricing and the quality of his product. The construction of Zen windows had a superior quality than the other windows we interviewed. Installation by Marcos and his crew was efficient and professional. Window installation was quick, while making a difficult job look easy. While selecting for a window company can be daunting, we searched through the internet for window ratings and found Provia Endure Windows to be highly rated. Lifetime warranty for the windows and installation also were deciding factors for us. Curb appeal, value, comfort plus improving energy-efficiency and security added value to our house. 38 windows replaced by Zen Windows.

I'm a first-time homebuyer and purchased my house in March 2021. While the house was in great…read morecondition and had recently been renovated, it still had the original wooden windows that were installed when the house was built in the 1950's. While I appreciated their history, classic look and the fact that they were still in good shape, it was clear they needed to be updated. I contacted several window companies around town, both local and national establishments. After being put off by some of the high pressure, in person sales tactics other places had, I found the approach that Brian and his team at Zen Windows very refreshing. I also saw that they were voted Best in Charlotte by Charlotte Magazine in 2020, and I wanted to support a local business if I could. Brian was very generous with his time, and it only took a few phone calls with him and a quick visit from his installer to get measurements for them to have all the information they needed. I was impressed with how simple and straightforward the process was. Another huge selling point was that I wouldn't have to pay anything until the job was complete, a big difference from other companies. The turnaround took about three months for the windows to be built, but I would chalk that up to COVID, supply chain issues and increased demand for home projects because of the pandemic rather than anything on Zen's end. Quoted turnaround times at other businesses were similar. Once the windows were ready, Zen sent a simple three man crew to my home to perform the installation. Each gentleman on the crew probably had 30-40 years of window installation themselves, so as a team they were pretty capable. In just two quick morning sessions, my windows were complete! I'm extremely happy with the end result. The windows are fantastic, incredibly easy to use, they look great (black exterior FTW), and I can already tell they perform much better than the old ones. Brian and his team did an outstanding job, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their windows!

Easily the rudest sales call I've ever been a part of -- and I'm in sales myself…read more Budget was never the issue, yet I was treated like I was wasting his time from the moment the conversation started. When I asked about matching the existing rock we already have around our pool, I was immediately told that wasn't possible and that I had to choose only from what they sold. Things became even more uncomfortable after he seemed irritated that my wife wasn't able to join us for the meeting. From there, he proceeded to give unsolicited marital advice before packing up his things and leaving. It took a lot of restraint not to respond rudely in return. Bless his heart. I ultimately left a 1-star review because if the company struggles this badly with the easy part -- basic professionalism and customer interaction -- I have no confidence they could successfully deliver on the hard part.

I had received quotes from others but I felt that he provided the best plan and a quote that made sense. He went above and beyond what I expected. I believe the new supports will last twice as long compared to the original builder's. Alonso went the extra mile to ensure that would be the case. He is a very friendly and trustworthy person (which is hard to find in this line of work). It is because of his honesty and trust that have that I personally recommended him to some friends who needed a porch screened in. It is always good to support small businesses who do a great job at a fair price.

Requested a deck quote and setup an appointment. Eric Kent from Deck Plus came and I explained what…read morewe were desiring and when I thought my end vision was understood. He asked how we wanted to move forward and I said please prepare a quote to which he responded "I don't do that, I can give you a ballpark and if your serious I can be more detailed once you want to move forward". I responded in surprise so what what is your 90% ballpark estimate as we discussed (understanding minor adjustments and design changes can change cost as well as materials prices). His response was 30k so I asked he email me it as we discussed to confirm the size and design and again he said I don't do that and if you want to move forward we can get more detailed. I asked him directly " am I detecting an attitude in your responses as my desire is to make sure we are on the same page. If I can't get the estimating person to provide a basic estimate to build off with out a tone that I should just agree and hand him my cash is unacceptable. A basic estimate would have taken him maybe 15 minutes and would lay out timelines, payment schedule and clarification on what the 30k provides is not to much to expect. Under no conditions would I agree to any work where I get a fraction of my desires addressed / confirmed understanding and then be spoken to like "agree to us doing it then we can address your questions with a condescending tone. I thanked him and walked him to his vehicle. I called the office and explained my dissatisfaction and refuse to use a company that the sales person can not keep his frustration in check and forgot I am the one paying for the project and not some guy on the street that was interfering with his day. Attitude and respect sets the stage and if providing a quote is an annoyance, then don't advertise a free quote (perhaps the old saying you you get what you pay for is true, I paid noting and got my money's worth). I would prefer to pay for an estimate fee and feel my desires were heard and understood as I make my decision. George

I generally leave positive, generous reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others…read more In the last five years, we've completed over a dozen major construction projects across two properties. This is the first time we seriously considered terminating a contractor mid-project. Communication was consistently poor, the project schedule and material ordering were severely mismanaged, and the crew showed up only six days over an almost two month period in the summer when the majority of work should have been completed, contributing to turning what should have been a three month job into a six month project. Job-site cleanup was not maintained, significant errors were made, and there was resistance and defensiveness when those mistakes needed to be corrected. Rather than taking accountability, the company disputed issues that were clearly the result of their own lack of oversight and execution. Overall, the level of service, organization, and workmanship fell far below what we've experienced with other contractors and what you would expect at this price point.

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK THEM…read more Just to start, he dropped my brand new out the box 65" TV ( $700 ) and busted it while he was chatting on the phone. We had to wait 3 days for the install. He damaged our walls, left holes (8) and then toke us to court for $80 he still changed for the install!!! Geesh! We had a Christmas party and wanted to have the TV mounted so we could play music HOW IT STARTED. He arrived 30 minutes after the agreed time (3pm Christmas Eve) but that wasn't a big deal, it's Christmas Eve. Once he arrived he was very talkative about things not related to the job. I left him to work so it could get done since I felt like a distraction. However, I actually ended up feeling a bit uneasy at first because he came into The kitchen while I was washing dishes, walking up behind me...that startled me. He randomly was asking about my kitchen cabinets and random things. He started sharing Things like how he hunts and owns land, the people he knows, even sharing an experience he had when he felt sexually disrespected by a friend! I honesty went to my safe and put my gun on me. I didn't know where that was going, it was really weird. (My husband was at work so we were all alone). It was really hard to feel comfortable with him talking so much and moving around in areas not related to the job but at some point I just sat down and started recording him. HOW THE TV GOT BUSTED: (RECORDED ON VIDEO) He received a call and had the phone held under his cheek so he could talk. As he picked the TV up he had laid face down on the floor, it slipped out of his hand and he almost dropped his phone. Saving his phone he dropped the TV. He said a few words but proceeded to mount the TV. Once it was mounted, plugged up and turned on the screen was destroyed. Derrick, the guy doing the install, finally tells me he's going to buy a new TV to avoid filing an insurance claim. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT Derrick walked out the door and I asked him if I needed to text him the TV model, he said no that he got it. An hour later he comes back as promised with a new orange box TV...one problem, that's wasn't what I paid for. Once he got it in the house I told him it wasn't the same as the TV he broke. He argued that it was, a 65" TV but I had to show him the brand was wrong. That TV was about $200 cheaper than my TV. He was very upset and walked outside mumbling certain !#% words to himself. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT He left out to get the right TV. At this point it's TWO HOURS LATER... almost 5:30pm. I sent him a picture of the right TV and the store he could find them at. A little over an hour later he comes back with the right TV. At this point he's fussing and complaining about the entire situation. He mounts the TV but the measurements and level were wrong so he had to redrill. He drilled so much he offered to patch the holes for free when we moved. Smh. TV mounted, plugged up and turned on, BUSTED! Screen messed up. At this point he lost it. THE OFFER IT WAS TOO LATE to get another TV so he promised to come back after Christmas to Replace the TV again. THE THRID REPLACEMENT As promised he showed up an hour early, got the TV and receipt he left and went to get a new TV. ! He is extremely talkative. My husband helped him with the mount, plugged up turned on it worked! THE ARGUMENT ONCE THE TV WAS MOUNTED he told me he was sending an invoice for payment. While I fully intended to pay at the beginning I was surprised he wanted me to pay the full amount cost giving nothing for the loss we incurred for Christmas nor our inconvenience. Nothing. He argued with my husband for about 15 minutes about how he spent gas . (Drilled over 6 extra holes in our wall, big holes, and my husband helped him mount the TV) THE END I simply told him he owes me a discount. I didn't ask for free, even though I feel like it should be. He eventually offered $80 but I'm not sure he should get that. This entire event is recorded. My advice to you...RECORD

They also responded to my Yelp project request very quickly. They completed the work on time (even a day early), the team was courteous and professional, and the quality of their work is great. They listened to direction well, and corrected any issues that arose (they put back a light fixture in the wrong place and moved it after we pointed it out). I feel they knew what they were doing and the best products to use. They covered our flooring and elements that were not getting painted to prevent damage and I can't find any paint spills or smudges anywhere. Our project also involved a lot of wallpaper removal. I was nervous about this because if the wallpaper is not removed correctly the wall can be damaged or leftover wallpaper glue can cause the new paint not to adhere correctly. But it seems they did a great job with that part too. They communicated well with us via text. We weren't able to check on the project in person every day so they sent photos and details on progress. I plan to use them again for additional painting projects.
