Zen Space Solutions designed and installed my master and guest bedroom closets in September 2010. Trevor came out and did the estimate - he was able to understand my needs and provide the most useful design that stays within my budget. The installation took place in two weeks and was totally pain-free. The team got everything done in a couple of hours and cleaned up before they left. The closets are beautifully built and very functional; I am still amazed how much space I have gained... No doubt I am giving Zen Space 5 stars! They totally deserve it. Thanks Yelp for helping me find Zen Space Solutions. I will definitely use them for future projects, and recommend to anyone who needs reasonably priced and effective space solutions. read more

This review is quite overdue!! Trevor helped us redo our whole garage and the master closet. He was excellent at designing all the layout. My husband was VERY specific and had quite a few revisions to the garage cabinetry design and Trevor was very patient with all the changes. We did all these work a year ago and during the most recent remodel, we asked Trevor to come back and he added an extra cabinet for us. Thank you Trevor!! For helping us organize our whole garage. read more

Not sure how this business garnered 5 star reviews but my experience in scheduling a visit for quote was very bad. I ended up not using the service read more

Trevor and his team delivered beautiful finished product. I don't think any one else can top what they have done. All visitors came to my house asked the same question: Wow, that looks real nice. Who made it? In addition to produce good product, he is also very flexible. When I wanted to extended one of the cabinet doors to its maximum during the installation, he tried to accommodate my needs the last minute. Luckily I brought up the changes at the right time, but he also didn't fuss about the changes either. He is taking care of his customers even after the job has completed. He sent his people at different times to fix a few minor issues. I am so impressed with his services and very happy with his product that I highly recommend Zen Space Solution to you all. read more

We need full MBR closet done. Talked to all big names but none gave us comfortable feeling. After reading yelper's reviews about Trevor and his team we decided to talk to Trevor. He came and was quick to design the whole MBR closet. Also pointed out what is feasible and what is not. He accommodated many of our requests such as 12" height of drawers (normally he makes them no more then 10" height), a locked drawer, wide enough bottom shelf for my safe, another bottom shelf in the corner to give me more storage space. His price was very good. Installation was professional. Luis was very good. He patiently answered all my questions. I asked him to take care of new carpet and floor and he took of his shoes every time he came into the house. At the end of job he cleaned up everything. His partner Ignacio was OK. seemed like he was a new kid around the block and always in a hurry to get things done but not necessarily . He was supposed to clean the shelves at the end and he didn't do a good job. While putting the cloths back later, I found many shelves especially the top most shelves all around were still dusty. But overall I was very satisfied with my new cabinets. Recently two of the drawers started shaking a bit while opening. I called Trevor and he sent Jason once to figure out what is wrong and then again to fix it. Jason was very nice too. I will recommend Zen Space Solutions to my friends and family. I will also call them when I am ready for my garage. Thanks Trevor. read more

Trevor was awesome to work with! My husband hired them for our master bedroom closet!! Highly recommend!! read more

Trevor recently designed three of our closets (Master Bedroom, Coat, and Guest Bedroom) and we love it! He designed it around us and how we were currently using our closets, so it really felt custom. Other companies were unable to do that. Now we have more space and our closets are way more organized. Thanks Trevor for everything! It was worth every $. read more

Trevor and his team have done great work on two separate jobs for me. The first was a smallish walk-in closet that felt like it was bursting at the seams. After their work, the space is much more functional, organized and zen-like. I now also use the closet as my office and for the occasional nap because it feels so clean and tidy. The design process was easy and painless. The install was professional and took less time than for me to remove all the clothes from the closet. The second job was a three cabinet garage unit. Jason was able to quickly bang it out with no fuss or mess. He dealt with our uneven garage floor with ease and was all business. I don't like guys that come in and futz around on my jobs. I appreciate when they come in and stay focused on the work and get it done. Jason was on both my jobs and he did solid work. I'll definitely use Trevor and his guys again and recommend their work. Trevor is a good guy as well so I always like to support the small businesses when it makes sense. read more

I typically go to Yelp to find reputable business and I found Zen Space solutions to get bid on installing storage cabinets for our garage. My husband and I were pretty impressed with Trevor's suggestion based on our budget and needs. After getting several bids from different contractors, Trevor's bid was the best and most especially he was able to accommodate to install before Christmas. We are extremely satisfied with the end result. Zen Space is truly professional, their quality is excellent and prices are very reasonable. I sincerely and highly recommend this company for any storage home improvement needs!!! read more

The good part : We had a large garage closet system done by Trevor and Zen space solutions in Sep 2014 and we loved them. It was sturdy, deep and looking really good. It really value for money. The not so good : Early 2017 we were moving to a new house and wanted to take these beautiful and useful cabinets along. I contacted Trevor and he responded saying that it would cost about 50% of original since base has to be changed. After thinking for a few days, we decided to still move it and informed Trevor. No response from him. Sent one reminder still no response. Finally had it moved by another carpenter. I am doing some more closets now but Zen space is not someone I am considering. read more

Super impressed with Trevor, Jose and their team. Super responsive, effective, take feedback and fix issues promptly. Our quote to design to installation was in 2-3 weeks. Super glad we used them and highly recommend them. In the pandemic times, they were courteous, respectful and masked. We got our garage, and multiple in house closets done by them. Trevor was honest and gave us ideas on how to save money! read more

We had an oddly shaped space in our bedroom which called for very deep shelving and drawers. Zen space solutions did an awesome job of designing and installing for us. This was a few years ago. I need something else done now and was reminded to oust a good review before calling them again. read more

Zen Space Solutions - Interior Design Near Me - San Jose, California

We recently hired Trevor and his crew to design and install a two-wall home office and media center. I met with several different companies. Not only did I like Trevor's design the best, but his quote also came in under the others. Trevor spent a good amount of time discussing what my particular needs/ideas were for the home-office and media cabinets - and he offered helpful suggestions/guidance. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! The space is just what I envisioned, and the crew that did the installation was very professional and considerate. You can tell that Trevor takes pride in the product he delivers, from start to finish. I would definitely use Zen Space and Trevor for future projects and will gladly recommend them! read more

My wife and I looked at two different closet companies and we chose Rick with Zen Space Solutions. We needed two of our master bedroom closets done as well as our coat closet by the front door. Rick offered us a much better (emphasis) deal with better fit-and-finish touches than the other major company proposed. Other reviews say the same thing as well. Rick's designs were symmetrical and beautiful to look at. The his and hers closets were almost mirrors of each other, yet customized to meet our individual needs. The mirrored, symmetrical quality is nice because if we ever decide to sell the house, both closets would not look strangely different. The other company offered a design that maximized space for my wife at a cost to simplicity and aesthetics. Same thing with the hall closet. This design, with a tall, all-shelf unit in the center flanked on both sides by hanging units each with shelves on top is also pleasing to look at. Rick, Luis, Api and Agustin all helped with the installation of the units. We live in a condominium complex, and they were very courteous and respectful to our neighbors. The made sure they were making the least noise and dust as possible. They were all respectful to our home as well. They were very careful with our new, shiny wood floors, and made sure they were careful not to cause any damages when moving large pieces around our unit. Lastly, regarding the shelving units themselves, the bottom, floor moldings are great. The counter tops in the master closets on the drawer units are a very nice touch. I really love the use of 3/4" thick boards. They are very sturdy compared to 5/8" boards. And lastly, I'll remark about the drawers. I love that they pull all the way out so that you can see the whole drawer from front to back. Many drawers leave four inches or so of the back still hidden within the unit, so you cannot often see what may be hiding back there. These drawers are awesome! Great design, wonderful crew, excellent work. Thank you to Rick, the entire crew, and Zen Space Solutions. read more

Fantastic work. Trevor met us late after work so both my wife and I could be there to design the shelves. He came to our house, listened to our ideas and offered his own, and was really easy to work with. The team who came out to build and install the shelves were great. They were quiet, friendly, careful, and most important fast. They arrived on time and were done with the job earlier than predicted, and the work was fantastic. To top it all off, the price was good. The quality is much higher than consumerized solutions such as the Elfa line of products. Wished we had known that before we had Elfa do our closets, Trevor's stuff looks way better. I highly recommend Zen Space Solutions. read more

Zen Space did a great job with our closets and garage cabinet needs! We have so much more storage space now and everything looks great. Everyone involved is very professional and does excellent work. Highly recommend these guys! read more

Trevor and his team did an absolute amazing job. Our closet was long overdue to be expanded. They created the perfect organizational space with hanging closet space, shoe compartments and dresser drawers. Everything was custom made, our closet finally has all of the compartments I wanted and can store my massive amounts of clothes & shoes. Friendly, professional and detail oriented service....definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have their closet or any space in their home organized! read more

Trevor did an amazing work in installing cabinets and closets throughout our three story town home. He is very professional and exceeded our expectations within our budget. read more

We had Trevor come in and transform our "apartment like" closets. Trevor was quick on the draw in terms of estimates and coming up with committed dates of installation. He has an astute eye and it was very apparent during the estimation process that he has "been there done that" many times over - he noticed quite a few things about our preferences - pointing out how a few small changes could make a world of difference. Trevor left our first appointment with an estimate that he put together over some 'hot chai" and which he stuck to through the process. Awesome! Compare that to a few others who turned around estimates over 2-3 days and made no significant recommendations that could make a difference. Trevor's was also the lowest of the lot, though the difference was not significant. As for the installation, the crew showed up on time. 3 of them. Beat their own estimate of taking 2 days for the installation by 40hrs! Left the place clean. The finishing was nicely done. The drawers and structure look and feel solid. The edges were nicely done, the foot-boards elegant - the entire setup looks wunderbar and feels solid, backed by Trevor's assurance of life time guarantee. We have had a couple of friends already reach out to Trevor for their closet makeover. You cant go wrong with Trevor. Cheers to that! read more

Trevor provides a neat design and implemented well for our apartment bedroom closets. It fits our room and provides much more space. The installation guys missed a hardware, but they came back pretty quickly after we told Trevor. The price is quite competitive. Overall, it was a great experience to do business with Trevor. One suggestion: maybe you should make slots on the shelf boards like ikea so that they would not move after installation. Now I can easily pull it out. But this is not a big deal. read more

Trevor and his team are amazing! we are very happy and think the results are incredible. Trevor was very positive and the communication was very easy. Once we made our decision everything went smoothly fast. read more

We enjoyed working with Art, as he ensured our needs were met to our highest satisfaction for a master bedroom walk-in closet, linen closet and mud room shoe cabinets. We absolutely love our new walk-in closet. The simple, functional and aesthetically pleasing design was exactly what we envisioned. We researched other companies, but knew immediately from the website photos that Zen Space Solutions was what we were looking for. The cost was reasonable for the quality of workmanship and installation. Everyone who sees our closets are amazed at how nicely designed and functional they are. read more

I got closets installed in my house from Zen space. It was a very smooth experience. I talked to Trevor on phone and he came to take measurements. He is very honest and straightforward in his communication. For one closet, he said just keep it like it is as there is not much value in changing its design. Also for our garage we already had closets which needed some updates. He clearly told me that don't waste your money on something which is already working. I really liked his honesty and went ahead with the order. His staff was also very professional and patient and did an awesome job. Overall they did superb job in timely manner and at very competitive prices. read more

Art helped us to make two built-in shelves, everything is smooth except that the delivery and installation of one door got some delays, but it didn't impact my daily use of it since the main shelves were installed on time with very good quality. Art responses me quickly, did the work very carefully, so in general we are happy with the results. Will consider Zen Space when we have future projects. read more

UPDATE #2/FINAL (January 2015): Our cabinets were fully installed today, and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. They look fantastic (I'll post a pic when I get a chance), and we've already gotten great compliments from our friends + neighbors. I have to say that I was a bit nervous leading up to "install day" but the team that came to install the shelves were wonderful. Luis clearly knew what he was doing, listened to our questions and eased any last-minute concerns. They also did a few extra "tweaks" at the end that I appreciated (though they forgot to bring the chrome baskets that they had to order and I'm hoping will arrive soon). For me, the quality of the install is 5-stars, but the process could have benefited from better communication. If I could, I would give Zen Solutions 4.5 stars. As it is, I'll leave it at 5 stars as I believe they were still a great value for the price tag. -- UPDATE #1 (December 2014): Upgrading to 3 stars. Waiting until cabinets are installed in January to write a final update. 1) Understand that Art got into a car accident and was slower on the reply. Things got better after I left a message for Trent. 2) Would re-iterate comparing prices with contractors. The ones Zen recommended were hit-and-miss. A few had great prices, but were semi-professional (always showing up late for appointments). Others simply had outrageous prices (and didn't reply until repeatedly asked for quote many days later, despite agreeing to reply same-day). 3) Still only have "sketches" of the cabinets schematics, and a bit nervous how the actual installation will look. Like their competitors (Premier Garage, California Closets), wish they could provide an actual "rendering" of what the installation will look like. Maybe that's the trade-off for the claim of superior value. -- ORIGINAL REVIEW (November 2014): I'm surprised to be writing this 1-star review for Zen Space. Based on the stellar reviews, I likewise had high expectations for my experience with them. My summary for those considering Zen Space: 1) Work with Trevor, and avoid Art. It seems to me that most of the negative reviews for Zen Space are because of Art, and not Trevor. Art is unprofessional, unresponsive, and in general not very customer-friendly. I've been trying to communicate with him for days now, with minimal + erratic communication by text message. He claims it's because he was in a car accident, but it seems from the comments here that this behavior is a general pattern and not the exception. In the 2 weeks that I've been working with him, I still don't know what I'm getting, when I'm getting it, and who will be delivering. At this point, I still only have 2 "sketches" of our cabinets sent via text message (yes, text message ... with incomplete designs), confusion over whether our cabinets will have backing (was told 'yes' upfront, but then 'no' when attempted to confirm after negotiating price), no final quote (we had asked to do cabinets, floor, and lights), and multiple emails that have gone unheeded. 2) The quality of their work seems top-notch, but their service is not. As a result of Art's unprofessional behavior, I reached out to Trevor directly - with no response. Apparently, Art is Trevor's college roommate, so it only makes sense that they would "stick up" for each other. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Trevor never called me back, despite my leaving a voicemail with my personal cell # indicating my annoyance at their lack of response or professionalism. 3) Compare prices with competitors. After speaking with a few of Zen Space's competitors, I realized their prices are not the best. Totally understandable and something I'd be willing to be pay for, IF their service was better - more professional, more timely, and more transparent. That *not* being the case, I'd recommend shopping around to compare prices before committing to anything with Zen Space. Even though their prices might be slightly higher, as someone with a packed schedule, I'm gladly willing to pay a slight premium for the peace of mind knowing that I'm dealing with professionals who take pride in their work and workmanship. read more

Being very picky, I looked up at top star contractors for my garage remodeling. I talked to three contractors, but ultimately decided to go with Zen Space Solutions. I found Trevor's proposal the most reasonable, he has been open to negotiate, and he also arranged for the fastest installation. The garage go transformed into an amazing place, with plenty of storage. I appreciate Trevor's practical comments about my requirements. I am gearing up for my next project with house closets, and I have no doubts going with Zen Space. read more

We recently used Zen Space for redesigning our master closet (which was huge) and a bedroom closet and WE LOVE the result!! Trevor and his team were professional, prompt and addressed every single one of what we needed in our closet. From the very beginning consultation, Trevor's advice was spot on and really helped us design the closet of our dreams. We felt they were affordable and worked with us on the budget. I also appreciate they were very flexible with their schedule. We had a few last minute changes and Trevor took care of all that. It was an incredible experience and we would do it again with Zen Space. read more

If you are looking for space and storage solutions, I would highly recommend Zen Space Solutions, they offer storage solutions for any and all of your storage needs. As a Real Estate team in the Silicon Valley having excellent resources are key to our business, and we are happy to have Zen Space Solutions for all of our clients storage needs. Feel free to call Trevor the owner whenever you are looking for storage possibilities. read more

After a thorough search, Zen Space was an easy choice to make. Trevor came over, LISTENED to us and designed EXACTLY what we asked for while keeping in mind the structural limitations of our space. His quote wasn't the lowest, but at least I knew he wasn't bullshitting me like the others. More importantly he was the only one with flawless reviews here on Yelp. As it turns out, there is a reason for that. His competitors either charged double, didn't know how to listen or had bad reviews. Not this guy. The work was done very quickly, his crew thoroughly cleaned up after themselves, the design looks exactly as promised, the materials are quality. Everything now magically fits in the closet with room to spare. I'm now eyeing all the other corners of the house and starting to wonder what Trevor can build in here. Next time I build another closet into this house, I'm coming back to Zen Space. read more

I recently got a custom closet installed for by master bedroom from Zen space solutions. This designer's name is Trevor and he did a preliminary design for our space to accommodate our needs and budget. Zen space solution is a small scale operation in the bay area but I am very glad to have found them. I got a lot of estimates from some of the bigger vendors that were into custom closet business but no one was able to get what we needed for the price we wanted. Once we agreed on the design they agreed to have the closets installed within a few days time. On the day of the installation the crew arrived on time. I live in a condominium complex so it was little hard to move the cabinets and machinery involved for the installation into the unit from the parking garage. The installation was very quick and professional. The entire work was finished within two hours and they did a good clean up job too after the installation was complete. The materials used for the cabinets looks very robust with a clean finish. Overall it was a very hassle free experience and my wife and I are very pleased with our new closet. read more

Trevor worked with us to make sure we were happy with the results, and we are!

Zen Space is really awesome. I'll explain further why I had to knock off a star, but, they really do strive to be a 5-star company, and truthfully, they deserve every one they get. Price... I didn't bother getting multiple quotes. I trust my yelpers who said they were competitive and elected to support a smaller business rather than another one that seemed to be a bit more commercial. I wasn't able to get everything done in my quote, but Trevor also didn't nickel and dime me with having to split it up. When I'm ready to do the rest, I know how much each area will cost. Experience... I actually called a few months ago to set up an appointment and got Rick. I ended up having to cancel that first appointment to take my dog to get an emergency root canal (no joke) but I didn't get any sass about having to do that last minute. When I called back a couple months later, I got Trevor. Trevor is a bit more warm - Rick wasn't rude, he just sounded stressed/busy. Anyway, Trevor showed up on time and was happy to take a look at the areas where I needed his help. He came up with a quote for all the areas I needed and drew out his plan right on the spot. This was impressive to me because I love organization and know exactly what I want and can be pretty picky about things if your ideas don't jive with mine. But Trevor was spot on. This was right before the holidays and he quoted me a few weeks out for the install. Usually I don't care much about having to wait a little bit, but I had to work around some guests that were coming to visit around the install target. His date seemed to work out perfectly since it was the weekend before they were slated to come and I was excited for them to see it. His communication is excellent, as we got the contract and deposit taken care of over email. The weekend before the install, Trevor emailed to ask if we could postpone due to a huge job he was working on. Usually, I would have no problem with it, but I had already pulled everything out of the other closets and with the guests coming, it would have been a pain to have to move the date. But Trevor and his team came through. I could tell it was painful to keep my date, but he made it work. In my opinion, this is huge and very reflective of the character of this company. On install day, Trevor called to let me know when the installer would come and about how long it would take, but it would only take a day. Rob showed up on time and went about his work. He was happy to use the booties I gave him to walk around on the carpet. I think I remember him saying that the measurements were a bit off so he had to pretty much re-cut everything which caused him to work until about 7 pm without finishing. He asked if he could come back in the morning to finish. It was a work day, but I am lucky enough to have a flexible schedule so even though it wasn't ideal, it worked out fine. I also know that Rob would have finished that first night if I really wanted him to, but I was fine with finishing the next morning. He cleaned up his areas pretty well and used some awesome smelling orange cleaner which filled my house with a pretty pleasant smell. The only gripe I could call out was that since he had to keep going outside to cut boards, he had some dust/wood pieces tracked between the rooms and on the stairs. About a week after install, Trevor checked in to see if everything was working out ok. I told him it was but that I wanted to raise one of the "stationary" shelves. He told me how to do it so I will this weekend. He also volunteered to come out and do it, but I think this will be easy enough to do without having to have them come out again. Quality...excellent. The installed closets look better than the ones that came pre-installed in my master bedroom. They are very solid and worth it. Trevor told me that I could even put books on it without them blowing...and I believe him. So the 1 star is for the extra day and having to vacuum up after Rob. Which both were not big deals for me, but to be fair the "perfect" experience comes with a 5 star rating, so the star goes. In my opinion, 4 stars is still pretty solid. I will not give it a second thought to call Zen to do those other spaces when I'm ready and will be happy to write 5 star reviews for those installs. Thanks Zen! read more

Got my built-in office last week from Zen Space and I am extremely pleased :-) Trevor came-up with a great design (actually, he gave me 2 designs to choose from) that maximizes every inch of the small wall space. He also helped choose the right finish & hardware that complement my existing decor and indulged my desire for a custom keyboard tray (thanks Trevor!). Great design, competitive prices, on-time installation and attention to detail from the installation team made up for some minor errors. In the end, the office turned out fantastic and I love it. read more

After obtained 3 other estimates for a master closet, I was about to proceed with the do-it-myself route via an online site that ships out precut materials. However, after reading the Yelp reviews, I decided to ask Trevor to come out for an estimate. My wife and I were impressed with his professionalism and design suggestions and, probably most importantly, he gave us a very fair quote. His team came out and finished the master closet in a half day and we were very impressed with the quality of the materials and the professionalism of the installers. Best of all, I didn't have to spend hours (probably days!) installing everything myself. I highly recommend Zen Space Solutions! read more

Trevor is great, and his company delivers a quality product. We wanted a custom build-out for my teenaged daughter's little bedroom closet. We really wanted to maximize space and have some built-in drawers. We got several quotes from other companies. Zen's quote was very competitive. When Trevor came out initially for the consultation, he had all his closet installation examples on his iPad, which was helpful. He discussed our needs with us for a while, then he took the measurements, and in no time, he drew a little diagram of exactly how the closet would look. We liked his ideas and his pricing. After mulling it over for a few days, we decided to go with him. You can tell that Trevor is REALLY into his work. He speaks a little quickly and can be a bit hard to follow, but it's evident that he really knows his stuff and will tell you immediately whether an idea will work or not. The closet was installed a few weeks later. The installers were efficient and cleaned up well after themselves. My daughter loves her new built-in closet and is very happy with the results. What I liked the most about Trevor is that he was willing to do some things that weren't totally standard. His solution wasn't "canned" like other companies that came out and gave us quotes. I would highly recommend Trevor and Zen Space Solutions. If you hire them, you will get someone who really understands closets and knows what he's doing. I would definitely use them again if I needed another closet build-out or custom cabinetry. read more

Trevor and his crew installed our home office desk and garage cabinets. We met with a couple of other cabinet makers but they didn't convince me with their solution for our small space. Trevor came for an estimate. I was very impressed with his vision, his ability to think out of the box and his gut to countering our ideas. He made great suggestions on color choices for small place, gave us a solution that would satisfy both my and my husband's wishes and advised us not to clutter the space with more stuff. We totally appreciate his opinions now that we see the outcome! The whole process was smooth, the installation was done in one day and we are very happy with the work they did. We are glad that we stumbled upon Zen Space on Yelp. We will difinately use them for our next project. read more

Zen Space is simply OUTSTANDING. You simply CAN NOT go wrong with these guys. We have used Zen Space on three different occasions (spanning several years) and we have always been extremely satisfied with the end result. Zen Space is professional, their quality is excellent and prices are very reasonable. read more

We used Zen Space Solutions for our garage cabinets. They turned out very nice. Installation was quick and on-time. Trevor was honest and did what was promised and charged us what was quoted upfront- no surprises or added on charges. Before installation, we were concerned that the countertop edge would be too sharp since and we may have to buy child proof bumpers. To our surprise, the countertop edge was rounded out so we did not have to buy any bumpers! Trevor thought of everything! We would definitely use Zen Space Solutions again and would recommend them to our friends and family. read more

My husband and I needed complete custom closets/storage in our newly remodeled home in the SF mid-peninsula. We tend to eschew chains in order to support small, local businesses so I was delighted to find Zen Space Solutions. Rick came to our home, listened to our needs, generated ideas and forwarded his plans in a timely fashion. I found him to be energetic and expedient with excellent turn-around time. Ultimately, we didn't end up going with Zen Spaces (our desire for an ultra modern style was not the company's strong suit) but I feel the service at Zen Space Solutions was excellent and I recommend giving them a call if you have a need for custom storage. read more

Wow, if I could give more stars I would, Trevor, Luis and crew are just that awesome. From the ability to be on site to provide a design and a quote with in a day of calling him, to providing an amazing value, to moving the scheduled install date *earlier* than originally planned, to providing an amazing high quality product, these guys are just on it. Suffice it to say, we will NEVER go anywhere else, except Zen Space for any closet needs. read more
