“I recently remodeled my condominium and Normandy Remodeling completed the work for me. This is not my first time working with a contractor I have worked with contractors three times previously. This experience, by and far, was the best. Normandy did an outstanding job and above all expectations. This was in large part thanks to Chris Ebert, the designer I worked with thru this project. The remodel was on time and the workmanship and quality products installed were all top notch. Chris did a superior job in selection of materials and coordinating the project He made sure it was perfect and was extremely helpful, considerate and kind. I appreciate all the help Chris gave me and would highly recommend Chris Ebert, and therefore Normandy Remodeling.to anyone looking to remodel. It was certainly worth the price. Whenever i look at my finished condo, I am grateful I chose Normandy and especially was fortunate to have the opportunity of working with a true professional and kind man that is Christopher Ebert.”

“We’ve had 3 projects done by Normandy; an addition, basement remodel, and kitchen. All are perfect. We heard about them via a flyer. We felt very comfortable w/ Troy (Pavelko) the first time we met him. He went through the whole project and costs with Barb and I. Normandy was the highest bid but I’ll address that later. The porch to back room project started on time. The project manager was Steve Peterson. Whenever we had a question about something he returned phone calls promptly and addressed our concerns. The suncontractors they use are very qualified and do everything “Old School” (high quality, no short cuts). They incorporated brick that had been recovered from an older building that had been razed into the structure. The end result is an addition that doesn’t look like an addition. It’s better built than the rest of our house. Getting back to cost; My father once said “the cheapest thing you ever buy will be the most expensive thing you ever own.” You will pay up going in but we haven’t had to have any post-project work done since they have been completed. Barb and I highly recommend Normandy for any remodeling project you have in mind.”

“I had imagined my dream kitchen for 10 years, but it was only when I combined it with the vision of Vince Weber, the designer from Normandy Remodeling that it actually took shape and happened. He was there every step of the way and Al Lovas, the site manager was amazing as well. Everything went so smoothly that I often forgot that I was in the middle of a major remodeling project! I LOVE my kitchen, it even won a NARI award and there is not enough room here to say just how wonderful Normandy Remodeling and especially Al and Vince are. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Kathryn O’Donovan of Normandy Builders was a dream to work with. Kathryn and I designed all the cabinetry for my home located in Boca Raton Florida. The kitchen design is amazing. I get so many compliments.

My builder was shocked that we didn’t have any problems. The cabinets arrived on time and installation was a breeze.

If you want to work with the best go to Normandy Builders. You won’t be disappointed. The service and staff are excellent. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

“Excellent experience in design/building our sunroom. Our designer, Gary, went way beyond to provide alternatives which got the project to meet our budget, and still met our design needs. Willingly visited us often throughout the process to workout all details. When we hit a couple unforeseen bumps, they put in extra effort to resolve the issues. Construction supervisor, Rick, was likewise professional, responsive, capable and customer friendly. Subs were friendly, punctual, SAFETY-CONSCIOUS, and good craftsmen. Price was fair and value good. Highly recommended.”

We used Normandy Remodeling for Kitchen and Bath renovations. Chris was our designer and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the design and finished product. The professionalism of the contractors and project managers made the experience very successful. I would recommend the company and Chris to anyone who is looking for excellence in design and satisfaction in the finished product.

“We did an addition and extensive remodeling of existing space. Normandy understands that remodeling your home can be a very emotional experience. As such, having confidence that things are progressing as you would expect and that the odd issue that comes up is in good hands is essential (and they give you confidence in both – on schedule and on budget and that you are in good hands). My husband and I are both recovering Type A’s so to be able to just sit back and let Normandy be in charge was a bit counter intuitive for us. Architect Vince Weber did an incredible job of listening to what our angst points were with our current layout, helped us understand design and cost trade-offs, knew what would be correct for the period/style of our house (which was important to us), was very patient as we considered lots of alternatives, and provided good counsel when we would occasionally be in really crazy idea territory (making sure to help preserve our long term investment). After working so well with Vince, we went through a bit of withdrawal when we moved to construction and were worried we could never have as good of a relationship on that side. Our Construction Superintendent Al Lovas was everything we could have hoped for and more. He doesn’t accept anything less than perfection from the team, knows how to get things done, appreciates that you have placed your confidence in him, knows that you are spending a lot of money and wants you to get good value for it, is incredibly responsive (answered texts I would send at midnight!) and is simply one of the nicest people we have ever met. And somehow Al and Vince manage to stay in touch constantly. We never spoke to one when the other wasn’t up to speed. They are a great team and we are so happy we picked Normandy. I was a bit nervous about picking a design/build firm vs. architect and bid, but after having been through the process now – SO glad we did. There were plenty of places in the project where an architect and contractor might have been pointing fingers at one another – Normandy just takes care of it.”

“I initially met Vince Weber on a tour of Kitchens in Winnetka and admired his handiwork. I took his card and called him to come look at our kitchen. We had a pretty clear idea of what we wanted to do but he was so easy to work with and really helped us to refine our vision. We decided to use Normandy to remodel our kitchen. The remodel involved taking everything down to the studs and taking out part of a wall. Before demolition started, Vince gave us a schedule of what would be done each week and when our payments were due and Normandy stuck to that schedule. There were no surprises or extra fees. There were people here working every day. I never had to call and say, “what about this”….they really thought of everything. Al Lovas was our GC and was always available for questions and always got right back to me when I called or texted.

We were thrilled with the way our kitchen turned out! So thrilled in fact that we used Normandy again to take off our old front porch and replace it with a half open-porch and half mudroom configuration. We constantly have neighbors stop by to comment on how much better the house looks and how they love what we have done.

I cannot recommend Vince and Al and all the Normandy guys highly enough. I have referred several friends to them and everyone has had the same experience. I hope you give them a try because using Normandy was the best decision we ever made.

Sincerely,
A Very Satisfied Customer”

“We walked into Normandy’s Showroom in Hinsdale not knowing ANYTHING about remodeling. So we asked to speak with someone about completely gutting and re-designing our kitchen. We DEFINITELY had the luck of the Irish that day because we randomly got Gary Cerek. We immediately hit it off with Gary as he patiently explained the design process. Once we decided to go with Normandy, Gary walked us through every step of the way. His experience shone through, his guidance was always right on and the millions upon millions of little details that would otherwise completely overwhelm you were presented in a logical, orderly fashion so that we felt very protected and were led through every decision, milestone and design element by Gary and his design assistant, Ashley Stone. They helped with design, color, texture, lighting, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures and appliance selection. The best though was walking through a canyon of granite and natural stone selections. It would’ve been overwhelming without their eye for color and their logical approach. I cannot imagine doing this project without a Gary or an Ashley from Normandy to help. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We are completely delighted with the results and would recommend Normandy to anyone contemplating a remodeling job, no matter how big or small.”

“We have used Normandy Remodeling for four projects since 2007, and we highly recommend them. We remodeled our kitchen (2007), installed some hardwood flooring (2011), added a new porch to the front of our house (2013), and remodeled our master bedroom and bathroom (2015).

Jennifer Runner was our designer for the front porch in 2013. She came up with some designs that accommodated all our wishes and even came up with some things we didn’t think of but exceeded our expectations. We especially like the vaulted ceiling above the front door. Even the neighborhood children complimented our porch on Halloween after it was finished.

Jennifer also designed our new master bedroom/bathroom. Once again, she took into account everything on our wish list and more. She helped with lights, plumbing fixtures, tile and cabinets. She met us at a local lighting store to help pick out fixtures.

Jennifer, (and the entire Normandy team) was very helpful during our projects. She was always accessible and prompt in returning our calls. She visited the job site often and made sure things were running smoothly. We highly recommend Jennifer and Normandy Remodeling.”
