If you’re looking for a company to work on your apartment renovation, then look no further than SM Zako.
I’m a kitchen and bath designer in New York City and I was looking for a contractor to renovate my own kitchen and bathrooms. My previous go-to had retired.
After interviewing a number of potentials, I decided to use Zako. The repour was immediate, as their team and I discussed all of the steps of the project. From the very first meeting I could see that we were on the same page.
My project was a complete demolition and renovation of my kitchen, bathroom and powder room. They handled each step in a professional manner. Their crew, who have been with them for years, are true craftsman and helped to enhance my designs.
I have since worked with them on numerous projects and have been very pleased with all of the outcomes.
The end result? Beautiful, functional projects professionally completed!
