“Our family hired Normandy Remodeling for a major renovation on my parents’ house. We completely redesigned the ground floor: converted sunroom into ground floor master suite, opened up living room/family room areas, redid entire kitchen, powder room, foyer. It was a major job, complicated by the fact that my wife and I were coordinating the project remotely (we are in California and my parents are in Oak Brook, Illinois) because my parents have never done a remodel and were completely daunted by the idea of doing this alone. Ashley Noethe was instrumental in ensuring this project resulted in success: happy parents, a gorgeous new ground floor, and a painless process. From the onset, Ashley quickly understood what we were looking to achieve and was extremely helpful in her style/design recommendations. But it was in the execution phase that we truly realized how lucky we were to have Ashley’s steady hand leading the project. As in any major project, there were so many decisions to make, people to coordinate with, disparate opinions, changing minds, personality conflicts, scheduling challenges, etc…and Ashley insulated us from the bulk of these by gracefully and patiently working with all the constituents in the process and solving every challenge that arose with seeming ease. Knowing we could call on Ashley anytime we needed help with an unexpected issue (big or small) and it would get taken care of, gave us all peace of mind and confidence during a time that ordinarily would produce intense stress and paralyzing fear. We trusted Ashley completely, and she delivered such a great experience and final product that my parents are planning at some point to work with her again on the rest of the house. Thank you, Ashley!”

“We had been thinking of remodeling for awhile and had many different contractors come in to see what they thought we could do with our space. Vince Weber at Normandy was the first designer to come in and actually make sense of our space! Once we talked to him, we knew we would go ahead and remodel. His design was perfect, he listened to our needs and created a functional, beautiful home for us. Vince has great taste and made the process of choosing materials fun and easy. Plus Rick Ruh and his crew made the 5 month construction process go very smoothly! He communicated well, coordinated everything and kept the project moving along. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely do it all again! One other thing about Normandy is their follow-up customer service is excellent…they don’t forget about you once your project is complete.”

“Having vague thoughts of remodeling our 25 year old oak kitchen, my husband and I stopped in Normandy’s showroom on our way to dinner in Oak Brook. It was our good fortune that Leslie Molloy was working that afternoon. She made us feel welcome, gave us a tour of Normandy’s complete showroom, and understood the uncertainty of our situation. With no pressure she led us through some design possibilities. Once we saw the concept drawing of what our kitchen could be, these empty nesters were hooked. Leslie is knowledgeable in all aspects of kitchen design and the pros and cons of material choices. Although we didn’t change the structure of the kitchen, it now functions better with the variety of cabinet/drawer features Leslie used in the design. And she added some decorative elements to make it special. We also updated an adjacent office. The look is modern and cohesive. Leslie is a talented designer, very patient, and a lot of fun to work with. We love our new kitchen and office!!”

“We have had 2 significant projects with Normandy Remodeling over the last several years. The first was a complete overhaul of our kitchen. The project took the existing kitchen and half bath all the way to the studs and was rebuilt into a more open and inviting space. Ann Stockard was our designer and she was outstanding. Our second project was a tear down of a 1930’s garage and replaced with a spacious garage that accommodates 2 cars and ample storage both on the main floor as well as in the attic. Again, Ann was the designer and it matches the house perfectly in every detail. It looks like it is the original garage. The team on both projects were excellent and met my expectations on quality and timing.”

“We recently completed a kitchen and master bathroom remodeling project with Normandy Remodeling and are absolutely thrilled with the results! The number one key to the success of our project was our designer, Kathryn O”Donovan. Kathryn quickly impressed us with her vast knowledge and her communication skills. She developed a very creative design plan with our input. A major change for our home design was the removal of an interior wall separating the kitchen and dining room. The resulting space is beautiful and the design is so well thought out. Kathryn expertly guided us through what could have been a rather intimidating process with her amazing attention to details and product knowledge. We applaud Kathryn’s excellent design skills, creativity, and how pleasant it was to work with her. And, once we had a masterful design, Normandy executed the project flawlessly. Yes, there were a couple surprises along the way, but they were addressed very professionally and resolved with minimal impact. After our project was completed, we have engaged Normandy on a couple occasions for follow-up items that came up and they have been extremely responsive. Design excellence, great execution and exemplary follow-up sum up our experience with Normandy and we highly recommend them.”

“We are extremely pleased with our bath remodel and we are particularly indebted to our designer, Ann Stockard, who graciously guided us through the project. She listened to our needs/desires, offered and discussed a variety of options as we reviewed multiple iterations of the plans, and checked with engineers to ensure the accuracy of our design. Throughout the project, she was patient and delightful to work with. We very quickly respected her qualifications, felt confident in her advice, and as a result we ended up with a very beautiful and functional master bath. Thank you, Ann. You’re the best!!!”

“My husband and I had a large enough project consisting of redoing our kitchen and adding a large sunroom adjoining the kitchen. Our kitchen had been somewhat small and dated. We met with a Normandy architect Vince, who planned with us every step of the project. He worked with many of our ideas and transformed them into a lovely kitchen/sunroom. We are so happy with the results!! Vince helped plan and execute with Normandy all that was promised. No surprises. Except that the entire project was finished three weeks before the scheduled time of completion. Eric the superintendent supervised the day to day work and kept everything running smoothly. Would we recommend them? Absolutely! Would I recommend them? Absolutely!”

“Right from the beginning, we knew Normandy was going to be special. We did our due diligence and shopped around for a builder for our kitchen addition/remodel. We interviewed three different builders. When getting the quotes, the first guy handed us one sheet of paper with a final cost and five different “allowances”, for flooring, cabinetry, countertops, etc. Normandy was the second quote and I’ll describe this experience in a moment. The third guy mailed us one sheet of paper with a final price on it and no allowances at all. Neither of these builders had bothered to even hand draw a quick schematic of the job. Then there was Normandy. We were matched with their kitchen designer, Leslie Molloy. She came to the house and took photos of the space, inside and out. She listened, really listened, to what we were hoping for our new kitchen and what problems the current kitchen was causing us. Then we met with her at Normandy’s beautiful showroom. She had 3 different options waiting for us in full color. They were complete drawings that one could really see how it was going to look. They were three different costs, too, with the first one improving the kitchen without any addition and the last one was the most expensive but also the most functional. We were pleasantly surprised that the Normandy quote was not out of the ballpark. In fact they came in right in between the two other builders’ quotes. Leslie did not pressure us to choose any of the designs over the others and we did not feel any pressure to make a decision in their time-frame. We chose the design with all the bells and whistles. Over the next couple of months, while plans were being drawn up, Leslie helped us with our choice of cabinetry, countertops, drawer pulls, etc. Again, she offered her expertise and suggestions, but the choices were definitely ours. She is incredibly talented at what she does and she couldn’t have been better to work with. Then she handed our project over to the builders and our superintendent Rick. Rick was incredible and efficient. His attention to detail and concern about how the work was going could not have been better. When we had a suggestion for something that hadn’t come up before, he never made us feel like we should not mention it. He was open and honest with us and oversaw our project perfectly. But it must be easy for him to do his job, because the craftsmen that came into our house were top notch. Everyone from the electrician, Scott, to the trim carpenter, Adam, were experts in their jobs. Small glitches were corrected quickly and everything came together almost seamlessly. And the project ended when they said it would. We are incredibly happy with our beautiful new kitchen/dining room/mudroom. I am so glad that we hired Normandy for this important work. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Leslie and Rick!”

“We did a kitchen remodel and was 100% satisfied with their work. We had the pleasure of working with Ann Stockard. Ann was able to understand my wife’s vision of what she wanted and then some. Ann made suggestions that we did not think of. The final design by Ann turned out to be exactly what we wanted. She also helped with matching paint colors. The plans were then turned over to Rick and his staff. Kudo’s to this team as they were here everyday on time and did a professional job. I would definitely recommend Ann and her staff. Customer Service was outstanding.”

“We recently completed an addition and remodel of two bathrooms and master closet with Normandy. From the beginning, Vince Weber had awesome vision for our project and was so helpful in guiding us through each phase. Together, he and Al Lovas delivered it well ahead of schedule and we couldn’t be happier with our new space! Vince truly goes above and beyond – even months after completion, he helped me choose colors for the exterior of our home. You will not be disappointed!”
