Zen Construction
It all started a long time ago - time flys, isn't it? In summer 1999 we came to America with big hopes, wide-open eyes, and expectations of something amazing. And it quickly came - Spring 2000 - "Internet bubble" burst and Dimitry end up without his computer job. But remember what John F. Kennedy ones said? - ". ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Yes, it was our slogan then, and it is our slogan now. Dimitry has started to work with various general contractors as a handyman and carpenter. The company he opened is a legal partnership between him and his wife, Yelena. What is the best way to connect with me? Email or text.

Kitchen remodeling is not easy, as many different decisions have to be made, especially including hiring the right kitchen remodeler. From kitchen cabinets to appliances to lighting to hardware, we will be with you through the entire remodeling process. Bathroom remodeling is one of the most popular major home improvements.
Remodeling a kitchen can be a very stressful project, especially if you don't find the right contractor for the job. If you're looking to give your outdated kitchen an amazing new look, we are here for you. Kitchen remodeling is a great way to add value to your home. Remodeling your kitchen could save money by installing new, energy-star rated appliances, and replacing old kitchen windows with new money- saving insulated windows.
As a local real estate broker, I am exposed to many tradespeople that make lofty claims about their skills and first-class customer service. I was referred to Dimitry over two years ago by a colleague to do major work at my own Orinda home, and subsequently, I have recommended him to many clients. The reaction is universal: he does, in fact, deliver double quality at a price that is always competitive.

I keep calling Dimitry because he is honest, fair, reliable and dependable.

Look what he made me. I've always wanted a covered gate. And because of Dimitry, I got one.

Edited. I forgot two other things Dimitry did for me. I let him break through a loading wall. Would I let just anyone do that? And Dimitry asked me 20 times, are you sure? And he did a great job. It is where I'm standing during an earthquake (yes, I saw how that was constructed...solid). He created a TV room out of an unused bedroom. Plus helped me remodel my dining area.

And he remodeled my guest bathroom.

Dimitry has been wonderful, as a first time home-buyer, it has been a very frustrating experience finding things here and there that's wrong with the house.

Dimitry, put simply , did what needed to be fixed, the pricing was fair and we stayed within budget. Has been very responsive (much better than other contractors I've tried to work with) and provides sufficient explanation into his thought process on why he recommends doing something in a way.

It seems simple, but it is so hard to find a good Contractor in this area. Well if you are looking for one that shows up on time, keeps you informed, performs work with great attention to detail and has very considerate workers you should take a close look at Zen Construction.
I contracted with Zen to perform a window and door replacement project. I greatly appreciated that since is was a short project, Dimitry chose to work my project in between his larger projects which allowed my project to be completed much sooner. I also appreciated Dimitry's eye for details and his daily communications

Although they couldn't help me with my project, I was very appreciative of their quick, same-day response letting me know that. It's always annoying when you wait several days or weeks for a quote, only to find out you should have been looking at other companies & you've only wasted time being strung along waiting for a reply. Not the case here, which shows that they are considerate & honest. Great qualities!

We completed 2 major projects with Dimitry and his team (full bathroom remodel and major living room change) and couldn't be happier.
Dimitry is easy to work with, honest and extremely knowlegeable. The result is perfect for both project, great finish and attention to detail. We highly recommend!!

We hired Dimitry and his crew to remodel a bathroom and could not be happier with the results. Right off the bat we were impressed with how easy he was to work with. I interviewed 6 different contractors spread across the cost scale and was most impressed by Dimitry. Even compared to those who were giving me estimates at double what he came in with. He listens to what your vision is and helps you with planning and design. His wealth of experience and information comes in handy when trying to make decisions on all of the minutia that comes along with a bathroom remodel.

We put off remodeling our master bath for too many years, but this was the year. My wife teamed with Dimitry on the design and he and his team did a great job. He also helped us out a few years ago when we replaced some windows and a section of dry rot needed to be replaced. Besides all that competence, he's very fun to work with.

My business partner and I have used Dimitry and his team to help us prepare several listings for the market over the past several years. The quality of his work is excellent, his prices are reasonable, and -- what I love the most -- his attitude is always positive. He is a problem-solver and seems to be able to fix most anything. He brings a "can do" attitude and a wonderful sense of calm and reassurance to the job site, no matter how big or how small the project.
