“The Normandy team led by Laura Barber and superintendent Steve Maro were wonderful! My kitchen remodel was my first remodel and they were there for me every step of the way. From finding a design I love to the final touches, they were always responsive and patient and great problem solvers. Everyone that sees my kitchen loves it. I will use Normandy, Laura and Steve for any future projects and can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“We first met Chris Ebert of Normandy Remodeling in 2011. We were interested in doing a remodel of our entire first floor and interviewed several remodelers. We had gotten Chris Ebert’s name from another family in our neighborhood. We immediately hit it off with Chris and moved forward with the project. We love our remodel and Chris was heavily involved every step of the way including helping us choose window coverings, paint and furniture.

When we decided to do a second floor remodel in 2016 we did not even contact other companies. We knew we had to go with Chris and Normandy. Again, they did not disappoint. We are thrilled with our new spaces and so happy we chose Chris and Normandy. Chris has not only become our go-to designer but he has become a close friend. I cannot recommend him and Normandy more highly.”

“I worked with designer Laura Barber and contractor Eric Reiman. They were both fantastic! Laura listened to our ideas to design our kitchen and challenged us on ideas that would not work. She did a great job providing options for fixtures, tile, colors, etc… that would stay within our budget. During the construction, we had a toddler and my wife was pregnant, Eric and his team worked efficiently and respectfully. We felt comfortable with all of their employees. It’s been almost a year since the work has been completed and both my wife and I have been very happy with the quality work.”

“We thought about home a remodel/addition for our home for a long time and talked to a lot of people. It wasn’t until we reached out to Normandy, though, that we finally were able to feel comfortable with the project and get excited about investing in our home. From the first time we met with our architect Troy Pavelka and designer Ashley Noethe through the end of the project, we always knew we were in good hands. Troy and Ashley helped put on paper the perfect plan for the type of changes that we wanted and needed for our house. Once it began, the project was very well managed, with all aspects of it kept on time and all of the work professionally done. We always knew, too, that we would get any calls or questions answered right away.

The pros at Normandy are talented, attentive, professional and an overall joy to work with; I highly recommend this company.”

“The work was professional done, and on time. All subs were courteous, and paid attention to detail. It would have been better if the time frame between the signing of the contract, and the start of remodeling was shorter.”

“We visited Normandy’s amazing showroom at the beginning of March just to “take a look” and that visit helped us to decide to finally remodel our kitchen which included enclosing a small back porch and designing a banquette for a breakfast nook. Our designers, Maury Jones and Abby Osborn, embraced the challenge of turning our very small kitchen into a beautiful, storage-filled space. We knew we wanted a small island with a cooktop. Other designers might have discouraged that idea, but they were able to incorporate an island that seats 2 people and included an induction cooktop into the design. They honestly used every half-inch of space in our tiny 1925 kitchen.

Our supervisor, Brian Preston, managed all the contractors’ schedules with professionalism, a determined get-it-done attitude, and a sense of humor. When we asked how they handle “hidden” problems that can arise in an old house, Brian said “there are no problems, only issues that can be resolved.” Our kind of guy! Every contractor was exceptional. They respected us and our home, were experts in their trades, very friendly, and kept everything as clean as possible under the circumstances. We constantly catch ourselves looking around our kitchen and saying “wow!” From start to finish, Normandy more than exceeded our expectations—we’re thrilled! Our experience was so good that when we remodel our basement next year, we hope to welcome back the same group of Normandy folks again!”

“When wanting to begin a renovation project on our main bathroom we knew exactly who to contact as Normandy Remodeling had completed a kitchen/laundry room project 3 years prior with stellar results! We once again reached out to designer extraordinaire Ann Stockard, her guidance and input proved invaluable. She listens to your ideas and incorporates her design expertise to come up with just the right combination and together with project superintendent Rick Ruh completed our project on time and with as little inconvenience to our family as possible. We will definitely continue to recommend Normandy to our friends and family!”

“I hired Normandy to remodel the back portion of my 1920’s home-mudroom, breakfast area, and kitchen. It was a total gut job of the entire area, including removing several load bearing walls and widening openings to open up the dining area to the kitchen. We added a hallway and closet to keep the power room tucked away from the kitchen. We took out large radiators, completely reconfigured plumbing and electric, insulated, leveled floors, added lighting, added new flooring and drywall, and added heat to the breakfast room and mudroom which had none. It took 15 weeks to get it all done and it was a big job. All the sub-contractors were polite and respectful and did a great job.

We are extremely pleased with the work. Normandy gave me 3 completely different designs for the area and I was able to mix and match what I liked about each design. I worked with Leslie Molloy who is amazing and blew me away with her design. She reconfigured our main floor and improved the flow and function of the house. Everyone who sees the main floor loves it and cannot get over how different it is and how much better it works now. It was more work that I had originally intended to do, but once we saw the design, we saw immediately that it was the best way to go. It was more money than I had expected to spend, but it made sense since it was much more work that I had intended to do. Since I am only doing a kitchen renovation once, this was well worth it to me to go forward with her design.

We felt extremely comfortable working with Leslie and she helped us stay on budget with all of our selections. She was able to combine materials and colors in ways that I cannot do and the end result matches our house and who we are. She thought of many things we did not think of and now really appreciate. It was easy and fun to choose all the items. She was excellent at communicating everything about the design and we got updates from the project superintendent daily too. I would hire Normandy again for my next project when the time comes.”

“We had the exterior of our home in Glen Ellyn recently remodeled to an Arts and Crafts style exterior. Jeremy did an amazing detailed job on designing and Rick expertly managed the construction. They finished on time, on budget and were collaborative. We are truly so pleased with it all.”

“We were very pleased with Normandy Remodeling. We worked with Ann Stockard, who designed our kitchen so that we added counter space and cabinets and made it easier to work in as well. The work was done quickly and thoroughly. Ann and Ken were very easy to work with, and everyone who came into the house to work was professional. We would love to work with them again!”
