The expertise that comes from working with Zantzinger since 1995 and a lifetime of building with his hands make Jack an invaluable part of our team.

His interest in restoring antique equipment has come in handy in unexpected ways on many projects over the years.

Growing up in the DC area, Alexa was surrounded by the neoclassical architecture and decorative design of the city. To her, architecture is the process of transforming a painting into physical form, which led her to study environmental design. What drew her to Zantzinger was essentially their motto ‘artfully built’ because for her the process of building shouldn’t be solely essential but also beautiful.
For Gordon, Zantzinger and the building industry, in general, are about detail, precision, and quality. The process of construction from start to finish while meticulously attending to every detail, along with the ability to make the homeowners’ visions come to life, are the most rewarding aspects of his work.
