“Remodeled my kitchen,family room, and added a master bedroom and bath in my attic.  Tony Tondelli was my rep from Normandy Builders, he was extremely educated and had a very keen sense of design. He found space in my house I didn’t even know existed. If it wasn’t for his knowledge of construction, I would have never gotten an extra bathroom. He came often to inspect the job making sure everything was correct. He would find little things that were slightly off and would have it redone. The job was done on time with the budget in tack. I have used Normandy for two major remodels and I of course would have no reason to ever use anyone else. They are numero uno!!! Five stars!!!!”

“This past summer we had a family room and eating room built on the back of our house by you. We could not be happier with how it turned out. When they broke ground, we were told that the project would be done in a little over four months and it was done in a month and a half! I would happily recommend Normandy to others.”

“We became aware of Normandy Builders because of a remodel they had done on a four-square house that was featured on a remodeling television show. From the very first meeting we had, our experience was wonderful. Troy Pavelka was our architect/designer. He is extremely gifted at what he does and just as importantly extremely patient. Troy listened to what we wanted to accomplish, offered various suggestions that we never would have considered ourselves, and presented us with several options as we were working on the design of our remodel. Going with a full service remodeling company like Normandy is something that we don’t regret for a moment. We could have done our remodel a bit cheaper going with a smaller operation, but all of the experience that the people at Normandy brought to the process was priceless. If we had to do the whole thing again from the start, there is almost nothing we would have done differently. They really have the experience it takes to tell you what works both functionally and aesthetically. The subcontractors were all professional and courteous. Normandy really stands behind their work, as well. Even four years after the remodel, if we ever have a problem with something, they send someone out and take care of it. It is clear that they would rather lose money on a project than damage their reputation, for example when the hardwood floors were laid in the kitchen we weren’t happy with the way the boards lined up around the fireplace (I know, we can be a bit extreme). They ripped everything out and started over. The only negatives I can think of are that the demolition phase could have been done more carefully, but ultimately, no harm no foul, and that when the project was in its very initial phase, really just a conversation, we got the impression that we could do more within our budget than we really could. From the point where we were committed to using Normandy, however, the cost was pretty close to what we were told it would be. They only thing that added cost, beyond what was in our original contract was a few upgrades made late in the project, for example, an extra coat of polly on the floors and hardwood floor registers. We loved our experience with Normandy in general, and even more so with Troy Pavelka. We just can’t say enough good things about him.”

“Our second time remodeling with you was another great experience. We definitely made the right decision choosing Normandy. Trust is another very important quality that Normandy possesses. You are given a key for easy access at any time and trustworthiness and honesty are of the utmost importance at all times. We thank you for that respect and for taking care of our home. We also know that we can call you if there are any types of problems with any of your installations or if we have any questions. The reason we are writing this letter is because we do believe that a company is a good as its employees. You have great employees and we encourage you to keep up the good work.”

“We are extremely pleased with Normandy Builders. We were referred to them by a friend who had some work done, and they have done a good deal of work in the western suburbs (we are in Downers Grove). We were very impressed throughout the process. Troy Pavelka was the architect we worked with, and our interaction with him was excellent. He spent a good amount of time with us to understand our desires and worked very closely with us throughout the design phase of the project. Rick Ruh was the onsite contruction supervisor. He was superb, also. He was onsite daily with the subcontractors and kept us well informed about the project schedule, who would be coming and what they would be doing. The project moved forward reasonably well with the only hold up being masonry work because the weather was extremely cold for a spell. The quality of work done by the subcontractors was outstanding. While they might not be the cheapest, they provide great quality of service and they are very professional and consistent in all the interactions they had with us. would recommend Normandy, and especially Troy and Rick without hesitation. I would use them again at any time.”

“The bathrooms look great! It was a pleasure working with you.”

“It was a pleasure working with Ann and Walter. We are very satisfied with the results.”

“We love Normandy Builders! We just finished putting an addition on our kitchen and remodeling the entire kitchen. Our new kitchen is gorgeous! Plus, thanks to Normandy, the construction process was no problem at all. The quality of the work is outstanding, especially the trim work and the design of the cabinets in the kitchen. Those are the special touches that we could not have pulled together without Normandy’s help. To sum it up, we were thrilled with Normandy Builders, and particularly with Vince and Al. If we ever do a project we will use them for sure.”

“I am writing to let you know how much I love my new Normandy kitchen. It’s so beautiful, and just as important, the quality is amazing! The finished design is very elegant and unique. And, as my family and friends tell me, the kitchen is very ‘me’. Thank you all for a job very well done.”

“I just wanted to jot you a note to express my thanks for a job well done. We are so pleased with the outcome of our new sunporch, and I just know it’s going to make a significant improvement to the way we live in our home. Thank you Stephanie and Al for everything – for outstanding professional insight, for your patience, for your charm, for your partnership, for delivering results, for helping me have a more cherished home.”
