Services we don't offer
Long sales presentations. Hassle. Frustration. Fake discounts and price drops.
After the rough task of getting quotes I came upon Zen Windows in Ramsey, MN. Steve the owner was quick on getting me my quote and I was surely happy with it. There was no aggressive pushy selling. The window installer did a wonderful job, was very nice and kept it clean. Steve the owner went above and beyond to help me add the finishing touches to my windows. I also appreciated his sense of humor. I love my new windows!! Thanks Zen!!!

I really enjoyed working with Zen Windows and highly recommend them. I plan to use them on any future projects and will be keeping them in mind for my friends and family. The quoting process was quick and accurate. The window quality is great. The installation was done well, done quickly, and with no mess leftover in my home.

If any of you have gotten window quotes, you know that it can be time-consuming and confusing. We got three quotes before getting one from Steve --- and one after, just to convince my husband that Zen and Steve were right for us. We had our new windows installed, including a gorgeous picture window that replaced two double-hung windows at the front of our house, in September 2018 and it was a professional and pain-free experience. Steve and his team were efficient, professional, and and a pleasure to have around. Even the clean up they did was beyond expectations -- other than the beautiful new windows, it was like nothing even happened there. I give them my highest recommendation!

From the first conversation we were supported and guided in the process from an expert....not just a salesperson. The install displayed the quality and professionalism we don't often see today. The experience provided the confidence in our decision to use Zen Windows again this coming spring.

Highly recommend Zen Windows! The process was painless and "no high pressure" at all. Steve Copsey is a great guy to work with, he communicates well and they are there when they say they are going to be there. Steve's installers, Alex and Austin, are very skilled and do a nice job trimming things out to make the windows look great. They are clean, always taking care in your home and at the end of the day, you don't even know they were there! I did a lot of research on replacement windows and installers before I spent our hard earned money and the Sof Lite windows Zen Windows installs are a great looking, quality window and a very good value!

The overall experience was excellent. From the first consultation to purchasing the windows to the install. Everything went just as promised. They were on schedule, the installers are absolutely fabulous. Professional, courteous, they were very good at their craft, they cleaned up everyday when the work was done. They were absolutely rock stars. Steve was wonderful to work with, we found him honest and down to earth. They delivered everything they promised and more. We love our Zen windows and would recommend them to anyone. Phil and Jean.

Steve came out to our home and spent considerable time to meet with us to give us all the pertinent information and to allow for all of our questions and potential concerns. Small company with reasonable prices, great customer service. Steve was both friendly and professional. His workers were efficient and clean. You never would have known we just had 16 new windows installed (in less than 2 days)!! Even the organization of their little dumpster was tidy and efficient. I highly recommend using Zen Windows.

Choosing to go with Zen Windows is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my house! Over a year ago, I received about 6 estimates for windows and was so confused which company to choose until I met Steve from Zen Windows. Listening to pushy salesmen from all the other companies made Zen Windows so refreshing from the very beginning. No sales pitches, no bashing other companies, and no lowering quotes to convince you to sign immediately. Not only was the quote I received from Zen Windows the lowest with a full lifetime warranty included, but I’m convinced that the triple pane windows and sliding glass door I received are the best quality. The whole process was seamless and the crew was so neat and tidy that I couldn’t even tell they’d been to my house each day. Since installation, I’ve had a couple issues with screens, but Steve has already come out to replace them. I highly recommend this company!!

We had a number of companies into our home to discuss their products, processes and costs, including the "big three" in the Minnesota area. On top of that, they all had their State Fair specials going on. During this process, I came across Zen Windows, and now I am SO glad. When Steve, (the owner no less) promptly got back to me, we set up a time for him to visit and discuss our needs. This was a no pressure and quite fun meeting. Steve demonstrated his windows, discussed our options, and shared stories of both his business and his friends. Made us feel as if we had known him for a long time. NOW, the true test...what is all this going to cost us? His estimates arrived in a form anyone can understand, with any options or alternatives called out and priced separately. The best part? It was THOUSANDS of dollars less than our local well known companies. The process of installing can always be a wake-up call to homeowners, with the home disruption a large issue, and the crews sometimes suspect. Steve's guys are the best, and made sure everything was taken care of, including all the clean up, vacuuming floors AND cleaning the windows before they left. These guys don't do siding and roofs, so hire them for your WINDOWS!! I couldn't be happier, and the windows look and function great.

Went very well. No surprises, no sales pressure and no disappointment. These were custom sized windows. I couldn't find these at the big box stores; they would have to be specialty ordered and then a contractor hired to install them. Zen Windows took two days to install my windows and trim. I paid for a quality product and the expertise to install it properly.

Steve and the installers at Zen windows were fantastic, and I could not be more happy with my windows. The traffic noise on my busy street corner can barely be heard inside my house. I love the look and quality of these windows. Installation was exceptional. Working with Steve was on the level and I appreciate working with a straight-shooter who does NOT try to sell!

We met with and received bids from 5 window installers. Meeting with Zen Windows was the easiest and most enjoyable of the bunch. Very relaxed and low pressure presentation. There were no tactics to get us to sign on the spot with discounts that were only valid that day or kept improving each time we said we needed time to consider. Questions we thought of after the meeting were answered promptly by email. We were happy with the level of attention paid to us even after we signed the contract. The installers were pleasant and professional. Work was completed within the estimated time-frame. Our house was left at least as clean as before the installation. The windows are nicer than we hoped. Great product. The triple pane Nirvana noticeably reduces outside noise, again, better than we expected. All-in-all, working with Nirvana was a pleasant experience. That's really important for such a large project.

We had received other bids but Steve seemed the most honest. He assessed whether we needed sills and frames replaced or just the inserts, provided a prompt quote including when he could do the work, and did a great job with the work. We had a minor issue with one window after install and he came right out to determine what went wrong and then ordered and installed the replacement promptly at n/c. We are about to hire again.
