Kitchen countertop

My quarts countertop was cracked due to poor material from supplier. ZEN was very helpful remove old countertop and replacing with brand new one. Also disconnect and reconnect the plumbing. All done within 3 days and all free of charge. I would definitely use ZEN again for future Reno projects. I am a happy customer.

Kitchen Renovation

I heard about Zen Living through my realtor who had seen another client's renovation with Zen Living. I hired them to replace all the kitchen cupboards and countertops. Their first error was hitting the gas line with the stove. Their second error was installing a quartz countertop which cracked within the first month. After many phone calls and emails, both issues were reluctantly dealt with. Our quartz countertop has cracked again, and I finally had to ask for a refund because there was no accountability from Zen. So now I am left to fix the countertop, pay for plumbing and possibly a new tile backsplash. Save your money, time and energy and choose another company! The true worth of a company is how they treat their customers when something goes wrong, and Zen has revealed their true colours. They do not value you or your concerns, nor are they ever willing to fix issues as a priority. You will have to work extremely hard to get the renovation you are paying for. And in my case the job is still incomplete.

Hi Sara,

I’m sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience with Zen Living. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us.

We do acknowledge that countertop did crack, but regretfully we cannot control the material that is supplied from Granite slab supplier. When this initially happened, we did replace the countertop for you. Since it happened a second time, again we did try to remedy the situation with you, and would have covered the costs incurred with making this right, but regrettably you refused. As an alternative, you asked for a refund on the countertops, and mentioned that you wanted to get someone else to fix it. We complied with your request and provided a full refund on the purchase price of the countertops. In regards to the issue with the gas line, Zen living’s policy is that we do not touch or reinstall appliances due to liability issues that may arise. Whoever you had install the appliances would be responsible. Upon further review, you had been advised at final measure, that it was recommended that the gas line be put inside a cabinet, in order to have access to the shut off valve. Since you didn’t want to go this route, and the gas line had not been moved at time of install, we proceeded with finishing your install. We accommodated for this not being done, by providing a matching granite piece in order to fill the void.

As a company, we did try to rectify the situation to the best of our ability.

New bathroom vanity

After 4 frustrating months with a national cabinet installer I contacted Zen Living. Within two days of contacting them they completed the measurements and one week after my first contact they delivered the new cabinet. Overall the new cabinet and countertop were completed in two weeks. We could not have been more please and highly recommend them

Granite for a kitchen renovation

We were working with our contractor and were sent to another Granite shop that he dealt with. The service was poor and the price high to compensate. As such we set off to take control of this situation on our own. I found Zen from reviews on Homestars and contacted them. They were courteous knowledgeable and came back with a competitive quote very quickly. After choosing granite slabs it was found they were just a smidge too small after templating. Zen and the granite supplier made it easy for us to choose two more slabs and swap them out with no additional charge despite being larger!

The size issue set us a little behind schedule (not Zen's fault). When I asked it they could prioritize our fabrication and install they exceeded my hopes and installed in less than one week. The granite piece for behind the slide-in was damaged during install and we were so pleased when the installer showed up with a replacement piece the very next morning!

I would highly, highly recommend this company and only wish I had ordered cabinetry through them as well given the impeccable attention to detail and service. We love the finished product too!

Kitchen Cabinets

Before choosing Zen we shopped around at many similar shops, when we arrived at Zen we knew right away that if the price matched the quality we were sold. it turned out the price and the design that the team came up with for us put it over the top, We installed our cabinets ourselves with ease and many special thanks to Ceci in the Zen delivery management department she was really a pleasure to deal with.
