ZANO Developments

I used Zano developments to redo my kitchen. I will not be using them again despite having other planned projects. Here are some of the many issues i had with this company below. - After agreeing to use them but before the start of the project the price of the plumbing went up $2500 without any change in the scope of work. I negotiated this down, but was annoyed at the price change. - On the first day, during demolition, they did not put any protection down on the the floor. I had to tell the workmen to do this. - "Plumb and level." Joe will say this over and over again. He will state that he keeps a close eye on his workers. This is simply not true. There were numerous times were I had to have them redo something because it was not done well. Maybe i am a perfectionist, but if you want a clean looking job this is not the company for you. Two stars because he did redo things when i pointed them out. - Joe expected me to pay the last payment before the project was done. I had to argue with him and tell him this was not acceptable. - They left the junction boxes for pendant lights very loose and the lights fixture swings when you touch them. I cant believe this was left like this. I have to get another electrician to come fix this, very frustrating and costly. - Joe convinced me to let him build one of the cabinets instead of the cabinet maker. He said I didn't need cabinet grade in that area. I agreed but regret it now. I told him that I was concerned the action on the drawer would not be as good if he built it but he assured me not to worry. He used a cheaper hinge for his construction compared to the cabinet maker. The cabinet was not built well and the drawer gets stuck half way to close. They have tried multiple times to fix this but are not able to. He should have told me that they are not capable of building this. he should have not told me he could build it. - We had a window installed in the wall. We had an architect make meticulous drawing and she went through these drawing with him. They messed this up and did not follow the drawing. He initially refused to admit that he didn't follow the drawing and tried to blame the architect but it was as clear as day that the drawing was different from the what he had done. Two stars for redoing this (Although he did end up finding a reason to charge me more for the framing). - we had a French doors installed. His team worked for three days but could not get the door to close well. I ended up calling the manufacturer and they were able to get the door closing well in 20 minutes. Joe tried to charge me for the time he spent trying (and failing) to install the door. - This one is the most disappointing; we had a leak in our bathroom while the work was on going. I thought it just needed some caulk. Joe asked if he could take a look and told me that it was the pan and recommended we redo the whole bathroom... A tube of caulk later and the leak was fixed.

Working with Joe and his team was an absolute pleasure. Joe walked us through every step of the process as we remodeled our bathrooms. He was very patient and extremely efficient. Anytime we had a question, he responded quickly and helped us to navigate the whole project, as this is the first time we have ever redone a bathroom. Joe gave us ideas and was very honest about quality of products. He made great recommendations and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of our bathrooms. If/when we ever do other remodeling we will 100% use Zano Developments! Thank you so much!!

Joe was very accommodating, he worked with me on the price, design and materials for a new deck. His workers were polite and respectful, Freddie the project manager was wonderful, seeing to the smallest details. Customer satisfaction was a priority. I highly recommend Zano Development for your next project.

Finally have our dream home! After a long journey of finding the perfect home we finally hired Zano to turn our vision into reality. Zano's team gutted and transformed our Kitchen, master bath and closet area, other bathrooms, floors, laundry room and many other odds and ends that needed a face lift! Zano's crew completed our renovation in just under 4 months and we were thrilled with the outcome. Looking forward to hiring Zano again for some outdoor patio/deck renovations this summer.

We used Zano for our Apartment Renovation back in January of 2022. We were in a time crunch to move in and Zano quickly renovated the entire 2 bedroom place in 6 weeks. Zano's team helped us pick out exactly what we wanted and stayed within our budget. The place turned out beautiful!

Zano Developments did my condo renovation: from flooring to electrical to total kitchen design and construction. Every stage was easy and seamless with good quality construction. The price was competitive, and the project was done on-time and within budget. I would highly recommend Zano Development.

I've hired Zano Developments for many projects over the years, and I must say that they never disappoint! The professionalism and attention given to all of my projects are always top notch! Both Joe and Anita are always friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. Whether your jobs are big or small, I will always give Zano the referral.

We had an absolutely terrible experience with Zano. There was no organization, no real contract, missed deadlines (there was no timeline even, and many more issues along the way. Most importantly, the work was not done up to par and now we have been slowly redoing much of the work that was done where Zano did not deliver high quality work - now with high quality providers. Molding throughout the house is askew/angled, they picked the wrong stone type for a fireplace and it's now cracked, floors are cracked with nails sticking out, painting was uneven and cracked (/certain areas weren't primed)...it goes on, and on, and on. We’ve had other experts come into the house for second - and even third - opinions…all of whom have been wowed by the poor workmanship. In seeking resolution with Zano, they would only offer to redo the work if we PAID THEM AGAIN! Unbelievable. They were clearly in over their heads with a big project, and the work quality suffered tremendously. Avoid Zano at all costs

Saved me. After being scammed by another contractor, Joe and his team came to my rescue. They immediately stepped in and built me a beautiful kitchen. They were professionals in every sense of the word. If they said they were going to do something it was done. I cannot fathom using another contractor in the future.

Would not recommend. If you are looking for responsive, reliable and attention to detail, Zano is not for you.

As a homeowner for many years, you are accustomed to a tradeoff between price and quality of the work done. I can say with all honesty, Zano Developments provided exceptionally on both. Not only was the price very reasonable but the quality of the work was top shelf all around. They will certainly be our first call on all future projects. Jim

Joe, Anthony, Tor and the entire ZANO team are a pleasure to work with. When a large tree fell on our house during a storm they went above and beyond to get repairs done quickly. We could not have been happier and I immediately hired them to do renovations on my mom's house. With a full renovation of the kitchen and bathrooms, refinishing floors, electrical work, interior and exterior painting etc., the team kept me informed from start to finish and stayed within budget. They were also mindful of the fact that the house was still being lived in and did their best to minimize disruption. Once again I was thrilled with the work they did and now have them back at my house working on a new back deck and patio. Thank you ZANO! I would highly recommend you.
