Zinran Construction Services: Building Dream Homes For The Twin Cities’ Metro

The Zinran Construction Services, Inc.® team boasts a singular mission: you dream — they deliver.

Specializing in the Twin Cities metro and beyond, Zinran Construction promises to bring expertise, style and innovation to its clients’ building and renovation projects, focusing on the details and working closely with clients to create a plan with a clear timeline within the client’s budget.

Patch: Zinran Construction Services, Inc. boasts a promise to bring expertise, style and innovation to all of its clients’ projects. How does it uphold this?

Parcells: Pictures really tell the story here. Fifty projects are posted on our Houzz website, organized by project, and many have before pictures included. Our own website organizes our work by room so you can zero in on just what you are interested in across multiple projects: kitchens, baths, living spaces, etcetera.

Transforming dated rooms, or even whole houses, into beautiful, functional and amazing spaces are demonstrated in the photos. All styles are represented from very traditional to very contemporary.

Patch: How does Zinran Construction Services, Inc. distinguish itself from competing construction companies? What makes Zinran unique?

Parcells: We provide a thorough and detailed project proposal that outlines all the costs of the project. It’s critical to have everything in writing so that there are no surprises or misunderstandings about what is included. Selections of finish materials can often vary the costs widely and we can work with clients to achieve the look they want in very creative ways at lower costs when necessary.

That takes time and revisions, but results in a very happy homeowner. Frequently, we are told that our proposal is the most comprehensive one they receive if they seek multiple bids. Others only provide summary totals that make it difficult for the homeowner to determine if everything they need done is included or at the quality level they expect.

Patch: Tell us about Zinran Construction Services, Inc.’s proudest moment(s).

Parcells: Referrals from past clients make us very proud because it means that we have truly earned the trust of a satisfied customer. They are putting their own reputation behind our company and that is something we take great pride in. And we often have clients work with us multiple times on the same or different homes because we have developed a relationship that has been earned over years — a very satisfying feeling.

Patch: Zinran Construction Services, Inc. owner and general contractor Grant Parcells has more than 35 years of experience in construction and remodeling under his belt. Tell us a little about the rest of the Zinran team.

Parcells: The supplier partners we use on projects are dedicated professionals that have worked with us often for decades. You will be amazed by the excellent workmanship and can be confident that all work is guaranteed.

You will see wonderful endorsements from many of our colleagues on Houzz under our reviews. It takes strong teamwork to deliver a great project!

There is a substantial amount of mutual respect amongst the various trade specialists that we use to complete a project. Everyone is absolutely in sync on the level of quality and project expectations that will be delivered.

Patch: Tell us about the Zinran Construction Services, Inc. beginnings. How has the company transformed since its inception?

Parcells: The company continues to evolve to meet changing needs and desires of homeowners. Accessibility requirements so that people can remain in their cherished home are coming up more frequently, and we now install several home elevators a year. People are watching more home improvement shows and want to create open concept floor plans, which often requires removal of walls and utilizing structural beams for load bearing.

There is a greater interest in green building, energy efficiency and reuse of materials that all drive how a project may be approached. We have to keep up with these trends and advance our methods to continue to excel in our work and deliver what people want.

Patch: How does the company measure success?

Parcells: Delighted clients that return for future projects and that recommend us to their friends and neighbors are the biggest compliments we can receive. Most of our work comes from repeat business and referrals because our long term clients are very happy to endorse our work.

We are successful because whether your home is traditional or contemporary, we can meet any challenge and transform your space into something that you will love and that will function exactly as you'd like.

Patch: What is the significance of the Achievement in Consumer Excellence Award?

Parcells: NARI is the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, of which Zinran Construction Services has been a member for years. As the only national association dedicated solely to the remodeling industry, NARI brings together leading trade professionals from all over the country. NARI promotes ethical and sound business practices for the benefit of America's homeowners as well as for the industry.

The Achievement in Consumer Excellence is a consumer-rated award program that recognizes NARI MN members who provide exemplary service. Consumers who have worked directly with professionals rate their provider in five areas: quality, responsiveness, meeting deadlines, professionalism and communication. The ACE Award is an achievement earned by providing superior service based on consumer ratings and represents a standard of excellence. Zinran Construction Services has won several ACE Awards.

Patch: What options are available for clients on a budget?

Parcells: Our planning process allows us to create the best design for you within your budget. We work with you to select the best products and materials before we build, saving you money and creating the most value for your home. We will always provide a detailed project proposal for your review as part of the process. We can continue to make revisions until we achieve the perfect balance of your vision with your budget before the project starts.

Patch: How can Patch readers contact Zinran Construction Services, Inc. or otherwise learn more about the company’s services?
