About
A Better Contracting Experience
Zen Contracting was founded to bring clarity, accountability, and craftsmanship back to residential construction in Western North Carolina.
We specialize in complex residential projects — custom homes, additions, and high-end renovations — where clear communication, realistic planning, and disciplined execution matter.
Our approach is simple: well-defined scopes, transparent budgets, and consistent project management from the first conversation through final walkthrough.
We take on a limited number of projects each year so we can stay closely involved, maintain quality standards, and deliver a better experience for our clients.
— Zen & Sarah Katana
Locally Owned. Professionally Run
Zen Contracting is locally owned and operated in Western North Carolina. Our project managers, field crews, subcontractors, and vendors are primarily local tradespeople we trust and work with regularly.
This approach allows us to maintain consistent quality, respond quickly in the field, and build lasting relationships within the communities we serve.
Built to Last
We focus on doing the work correctly—not just quickly. Every project is executed with attention to detail, proper sequencing, and long-term performance in mind.
Most of our work includes a minimum one-year warranty, and we stand behind our projects well beyond completion.
