He was able to match the brick from the front of the house with a brick wall for the grill area and brick pillars that looked like they were built at the same time we had the house built for us in 2001. The neighbors are all jealous and want the same things done too. If you want a guy who know his stuff, call DSC Design. We will be using him in the near future for remodeling our bathroom too.

I hope this review is helpful to others. Please take the time to read it. It has been a good lesson…read morefor me when dealing with contractors. I have contacted the business owner about these issues and was told that these things "can be like pulling teeth." and it has been. That's why I'm leaving this here. From the start, I was looking to install one egress window in our basement. I asked on Nextdoor for egress window install help and got recommendations for Tony Zilka. I looked at online reviews, mostly positive, and checked out their website which stated they've been, "installing egress windows for over 15 years. Our expertise is unmatched and we can guarantee that you will be satisfied with the results." And "It will take 1 to 2 days to dig, cut, haul, frame, and install your window. We always clean up after ourselves and never leave trash behind" They must have dropped the ball on my account. Notes: - Tony Zilka, the company owner, did not show up to our initial appointment. I had scheduled with Tony when it was convenient with my family (pregnant wife and two year old). He never showed up. An hour later I called and rescheduled as he somehow never had me booked. - The next meeting, he was late again, I emphasized importance of light in the basement and protecting my two year old from falling in the egress. Tony told me install date in four weeks, and that it would take two days to complete. We agreed on a plan and I payed 50% down promptly. - A week prior of the agreed start date, I asked if we were still on schedule. It took Tony a week to respond after emails/calls and he said later he'd check into it. - An ADDITIONAL three weeks later and after multiple delayed attempts of communication with Tony to get work started, work began. - Tony's workers arrived a Monday afternoon. They dug a couple hours and said they'd be back, the day after tomorrow, Wednesday morning. - To our surprise, without contact, the next day, TUESDAY morning, My family and I woke up to a shovel scraping against the side of the house. - On Thursday, one worker got shocked when he sawed through a live electrical cable running to an existing outlet below the window they where working on. Another ripped multiple lines of paint off the ceiling when removing a plastic barrier. - Garbage/debris was left in our yard for four days after install. This forced us to cancel holiday dinner plans and it made our yard unsafe and unusable for our guests and child. (See photos) - The egress cover installed admitted less light to the basement than the original window, which was 1/4 the size. (See photos) - Poured concrete in the egress didn't extend to the bottom of well and finish was subpar. (See photos) As you can see, I had a very difficult experience dealing with Tony Zilka especially while considering my family situation. It's unacceptable that a two-day job can turn into nine days. Poor communication, inconsistent quality and unsafe work all made this very unpleasant. Conclusions - Good online reviews and recommendations aren't a sure thing - Don't hire someone who can't keep appointments, or is hard to get ahold of (In my situation, difficult to back out with 50% down) - Set reasonable timelines in a contract - Record/Document communications/work - Withhold full payment until your satisfied I hope this helps.

His guys are friendly, polite, skilled and hard workers. They took on my basement egress window with enthusiasm and optimism -- characteristics I really appreciate, especially when it comes to a tough job! And mine sure was. This was a challenging project, with thick walls to cut; a narrow window of time and high expectations for a clean finish. They began and finished on time; the job was beautifully done and the space left in very clean condition. So stop searching for your egress guy. Tony's your man, and Zilka Construction is your company. Aren't you happy? Now you have the rest of your day to enjoy. :-) Seriously: My job was super-important to me as a part of my Air BnB business. It needed to be perfect. With Zilka Construction, it was. You're welcome!
