About ZN Construction
What ZN Construction Offers
At ZN Construction we offer a superior value to clients by focusing on providing
an excellent experience
Our high quality of workmanship comes standard. We place high value on our client experience and do everything we can to ensure it is a great one.
Starting with the simple things like: showing up when we say we will, cleaning up after ourselves, and keeping lines of communication open throughout each project, our processes are designed to keep the disruption to our client’s routines at a minimum, and ensure each project is as efficient as possible. All of this would seem to be common sense, but unfortunately many of our competitors fall short in some or all of these areas.
Our mission is to be a force for positive change in the construction industry by creating a positive impact in the lives of everyone we interact with. We are able to do this by prioritizing our clients, and maintaining a healthy workplace for our team. Watch the video to meet the team and learn more about us.

Our Story
Zac started ZN Construction and Contracting, LLC in 2015. That first year he did everything himself, from finding new clients, to driving the last nail on each project. ZN Construction has certainly grown since its beginnings in 2015. As we continue to grow, we adjust our systems and processes to ensure that our core values remain the forefront of what we do. Our work is driven by our commitment to our clients. Our goal is for 100% client satisfaction, and to date we have been able to keep that goal. We never mark a project as complete until our clients are delighted with their home’s new look. Our goal is to develop a personal relationship with each of our clients, so that we are able to assist and serve you as needed for various projects in the future.
ZN Construction is A Veteran-Owned Company
Zac spent six years serving the military in an Army National Guard unit. His specialty for the Army was 31B, Military Police. The unit was designated as a combat MP unit; meaning that the training and mission was similar to mounted infantry, rather than law enforcement. In 2012 he deployed with the unit to Afghanistan for a twelve month tour. While overseas they supported and trained Afghan national and local police in various patrol missions, including convoy security, sweeping for IEDs, providing security for EOD, engineers, and more. Zac’s time in the military enabled him to become a strong leader and provided invaluable training in discipline, both personally and professionally.
We treat Your House As If It were our own
One of our company goals is to be as considerate and unobtrusive as possible while working on your home. We aim to provide you with the least disruption possible while completing your project. One of the ways we do this is by using a cutting-edge, three step dust management system for all of our interior remodeling projects. Another is by assembling a team of quality individuals who stand by our values. All of our employees and subcontractors have been thoroughly vetted to ensure that we only hire and employ clean, respectful carpenters with no criminal background. We have over 45 years combined experience on our team. You will know throughout the project process what is going on and what the next steps will be. Clear lines of communication come standard with every quote. We show up to the job site on time, and work efficiently and effectively to complete your project in the smoothest possible manner.
We have 100% customer satisfaction from our previous projects, and many references and customer reviews available upon request. When you choose us for your project, you will not be disappointed!

Zac has a passion for helping others and he firmly believes in giving his clients an unmatched experience in every aspect of their project. He believes one of the keys to doing this is by cultivating an exceptional team, and is committed to building up each ZN team member both personally and professionally.
