Nine years after arriving in the United States as a Greek teenager who spoke no English, I was able to start my own company--S.M. Zako LLC. From the beginning, I committed myself to hard work, to quality craftsmanship, and to honesty and respect in all my dealings with my clients. Today, 35 years later, I am personally gratified to have had so many wonderful clients whose hundreds of word-of-mouth recommendations from one to another through the years have kept my company growing for more than three decades. And I am hugely grateful for this fact especially: most of my clients, by the time their jobs were finished, became my friends. Truly an American dream—Wow!

Today, more than three decades after my wife Maria and I became the first generation of S.M.Zako, our daughter Stavroula and her husband Michael are now the second generation of S.M. Zako’s family to join the company. Stavroula and Michael bring to our projects the enthusiasm for working with clients that is a hallmark of our company, along with their knowledge of today’s 21st century technologies which are making the construction industry an amazing place to work!
