Jesse from Zenbuild did an extensive renovation for us. He created a new entrance way with a beautiful deck area, added bi-fold doors, and internal stairs. He fitted a new kitchen and also re-clad the home. He’s a true craftsman and offered great suggestions which were both stylish and on budget. He completed the job in the agreed time and we are so thrilled with the result. I highly recommend Jesse and his team.

Jesse did a wonderful job, really efficient and cost less than I was expecting. He did a beautiful job helping restore our old villa, and went above and beyond to secure native hardwood.

Jesse (Zenbuild) designed and installed a solution to some window problems we had to meet LBP standards. The Zenbuild team worked on our house while we were away visiting family, working both inside and outside on the job. The workmanship was first class and the job was completed on time; they left our house clean, tidy, and secure. While completing the job Jesse came across an unforeseen problem, designed a solution, and implemented it to a high standard while keeping us informed throughout. We trusted Jesse to source and obtain the building products needed at good quality and a fair price. We would recommend Zenbuild for building work based on our experience.

Jesse’s passion for his work shows in every detail, his skill level is second to none, and his creativity in both his design input and finding solutions to tricky problems is truly awesome to watch. I have had the pleasure of not only having Jesse complete some work at my own house, but also to work alongside him as a fellow tradesperson on one of his latest projects. He puts so much time and energy into his work, and it’s great to see him championing natural, healthy, and renewable building materials and practices. You won’t regret getting him on board for any project you have in mind, I promise!
