    We highly recommend Zenz Buildings Inc. to anyone seeking a quality building at a fair price. It has been a pleasurable experience to build with Jim Zenz and his crew. Jim displayed patience and diligence in the planning stages, and commitment and follow through in the construction stage. Most importantly, Jim made us feel as if our building was just as important to him as it was to us. We can’t thank him enough.

    We recently had Zenz Buildings Inc. construct a new building for our growing business. We were pleasantly surprised in the timely fashion in which it was constructed. They were conscientious to our requirements and kept in close contact throughout the project until it was complete. We would definitely consider using them on our next project!

    I first contacted Jim Zenz about 4 years ago concerning an estimate for a new building. He was very prompt, courteous at that point in time, also professional. I again called him after a major fire/loss of my shop. He still had the old plans and he worked with me very professionally revising the plans to help with the new building. Building delivery was right on time, crew was right on time, very professional, courteous and fast. Had one small problem with building after completion, called Jim and he was out next morning to correct problem. I am very pleased with the building, with professional manner of Jim Zenz and his crew. I could not express my feelings any higher, nor would I ever recommend anybody higher than Zenz Buildings.

    I am certainly glad I learned about Zenz Buildings. Jim’s knowledge and experience answered all of the construction questions I had. (bldg. permit, site concerns, sizing requirements, fascia lengths, color choices, wainscoting, door layout, etc.) He showed pictures of other completed buildings with different options and described their advantages and disadvantages. This discussion with pictures also helped my wife visualize the mental image. The building crew started on time and completed the building as scheduled. Attention to detail is a true attribute of their craft skill; they were finicky in every aspect of construction. The final product was flawless and I will recommend Zenz Buildings to anyone in the market for a quality, first class structure.

    When I formulated plans for my new garage/shop/studio, I called many different builders and received a variety of estimates. I decided to go with Zenz Buildings for two reasons; the fair price for a quality building, and the low-hype attitude of Jim Zenz himself. The building turned out great – ahead of schedule, and I would recommend Zenz Buildings to my friends and family.

    We appreciate your complete professionalism concerning the construction of our new Zenz building, Jim. From start to finish, we received the highest quality of workmanship, which is hard to come by in this day and age. So we want to thank you once again and hope to see Zenz Building signs everywhere!

    I wanted to send you a note of thanks for the very nice job you and your crew did at our property, building our barn. We were very pleased with the time and effort you took in both the planning and building stages. Your taste and experience helped to construct a building that we are very proud and excited about. Your foreman was a big help to George during the actual construction of the barn, as were you throughout the entire project. Many of our friends have been very complimentary when we have emailed our pictures out to show them the progress. We are thrilled at how nice it looks! The cupolas on the big barn, as well as the shutters have tied the two buildings together quite nicely. Thank you for all your efforts, and for being the kind of builder that made our experience a positive and enjoyable one. It will be our pleasure to recommend you to any of our friends for their building needs. Thanks again.

    Jim, I wanted to take a second to thank you for a great building. Your knowledge and professionalism proved to be a great asset in the design and construction process. The crew was very helpful and had excellent ideas which showed there long term knowledge and commitment to building a quality structure. I was very happy with the quality and the time spent on details. This was a great experience from start to finish. We are planning another building, and wouldn't think of using another builder. Choosing Zenz Buildings proved itself to be the right choice. Thanks again Jim.

    When Paul and I decided to build a horse farm, we talked to several builders. We had four different friends who had worked with Zenz on their horse buildings. They all recommended Zenz Buildings for the same reasons - quality of work, the efficiency and professionalism of his crews, their attention to detail and the great value.

    We toured many farms in an effort to educate ourselves. We talked to the owners about their experience working with their builder. After comparing quality and price, we chose to work with Zenz Buildings. We appreciated that his price did not include expensive marketing programs, a large sales force or extensive overhead.

    Jim and his crew made the project easy for us. Jim communicates thoroughly and frequently so there were no misunderstandings. His crew showed up early in the morning and they had an efficient system for getting the work accomplished. In addition, they are very talented craftsmen. I was able to show them pictures of ideas from other barns and they managed to replicate it perfectly. The quality of the work was superb and they always had creative solutions to addressing our needs. Every Zenz employee we encountered had a high standard of workmanship and showed a real passion for excellence. We appreciated how Jim and his team responded to the many changes we requested midstream. They have a “can do” attitude and get the work done in a proficient manner.

    When we decided to build a horse barn and indoor arena on our property, I thought it would look like a basic, plain looking steel building in our backyard. But with Zenz Buildings, we ended up with a beautiful structure that blends perfectly into our prairie setting. The barn is so much more beautiful than I had anticipated.

    We like to work with people who have high integrity, a passion for what they do, and a fair price. If we expand our operations in the future, we will work with Jim and his talented crew again.
