Sheet C-00 / Client correspondence
Letters from the people who live in the houses.
Homeowners across Highland Park and the North Shore, in their own words about working with Brad and Shari Zenner. No scores, no star counts, just what they wrote.
Remodel of every inch
“Z Construction was great! They remodeled every inch of our homeand did it on time so we could move in as scheduled. We are so happy with the result. Reliable, honest, high-quality contractors are so hard to find and these guys hit all the marks. You will not be disappointed!”
Sheet C-01 / Master bath
Two households, two master bathrooms.
Master bathroom
“Working with Z construction was a terrific experience. When we approached Shari to help with our master bathroom, we had no experience with home renovation. She held our hands through the entire process, going with us to stores and connecting us with key suppliers; she told us where to spend more (cabinets) and where to save (sinks). The project was delivered on time and on budget and even came back months later to fix small problems that arose. I highly recommend Z construction for any and all home renovation activities.”
Master bathroom
“We hired Z Construction to renovate our master bathroom. They did an excellent job on all levels: design, construction and time management. Would highly recommend them for any project.”

Sheet C-02 / Correspondence file
A new home, a remodel, a phone that still gets answered.
New home built 2015
“Z Construction built our home for us in 2015. Brad and Shari made what could have been complicated simple for our first time navigating the building process. They have a sense of how people live, and are thoughtful in their layout and design suggestions. They are dependable, accessible and have become very close friends.”
“We truly enjoyed working with Z Construction. We love our home and they did an incredible job. They were so helpful with everything from the minute we started working with them and still 12 years later we still call them with questions and they are so willing to help. The quality of the work is also fabulous. Even as we get things repaired throughout the years, each service person says how well this house was built.”
A remodel
“From start to finish, Z Construction were fantastic to work with. Everyone they have working for them were professional and courteous. They showed up when they were scheduled to show up. They kept the project as clean as possible while doing a remodel. The final product was just what we wanted and expected. I will hire Z Construction to do any home improvement/remodel work i have in the future.”
“Z Construction of Illinois is an excellent contractor on all levels. Knowledgeable about all facets of the project. Able to explain in laymen terms. Impeccable work. Organized. Cleaned up the job site daily. Great at problem-solving. They also provided interior design consulting that was spot on, always offering unique ideas.”
Sheet C-03 / A client, twice
The addition came first. Then the new house.
Jami & Howard S. hired the firm for an addition and renovation, then returned to build a new house. These are four separate lines from their letter.
Addition and renovation, then a new house
“Having worked with Shari and Brad years ago on an addition and renovation, we were expecting things to go well when we decided to build a new house with Z Construction. Fortunately we were correct in believing that the experience and the finished product would both be great.”
“We have been living in and enjoying our new house for about 7 months now.”
“This house is so user friendly, comfortable, beautiful and efficient.”
“Knowing that Z Construction will be available if and when we need any assistance or adjustments provides peace of mind that is extremely valuable. Shari and Brad stand behind and take great pride in the work they do. We love our house so much and don’t plan to ever move. But if we did, we’d use Z Construction again!”
