Liz's Signature Approach

“We love Liz. She really worked at getting our vibe and has a great sense of humor. Like every project, surprises arose. We were always notified right away and given options. Everyone was great. Professional and courteous. Very happy with results”

” Loved working with Liz Marusin. Thoughtful suggestions without undue pressure plus helpful problem solving. Liz was a frequent visitor to the site as well to talk through various colors, light fixtures etc  All the Normandy staff were wonderful to work with. All the trades knowledgeable and courteous and always left the workplace tidy. The site manager produced a time line which was followed very closely and finished within their projected date. Top notch construction. All moving parts work beautifully and the end result is perfect”

“Liz and Mike were a pleasure to work with. From the beginning to the end of our remodel, their communication was excellent. Mike and Liz gave us daily updates, and their onsite teams were very friendly and professional. I highly recommend Normandy, especially the team of Liz and Mike.”

“We had the pleasure to work with Liz and Mike. They were both so professional and knowledgeable in their areas that it made this process very easy and stress-free. Liz was open to listening to our ideas, remained flexible, and brought so many cool ideas to our design that we would have never thought of. Mike was amazing with his organization, check-in emails, and keeping us on track with who was coming and what was coming next. We would absolutely recommend working with Normandy.”

“Very smooth sailing experience with Normandy on our big project. Grateful to designer Liz for being just lovely & super easy to work with. Liz replied to every question or request with an extremely prompt & reliable response. Always her thorough follow-through to our complete satisfaction.

Liz and superintendent Mike work beautifully together and both made the daily experience very pleasant at the same time. Each tradesperson they sent was knowledgeable, experienced, cared about their work, and delightful to work with as well. All while efficiently keeping our renovation rolling at a great pace.”

“We remodeled all three of the bathrooms in our house simultaneously in the fall. Our designer, Liz Marusin, and superintendent Chris Smeaton were wonderful to work with and made sure a challenging project went as smoothly as we could have hoped. The redesign of our master bathroom made great use of the available space and functions perfectly. All 3 bathrooms are beautifully designed and installed and we are definitely enjoying them. Both Liz and Chris went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied everytime something unexpected happened and we can recommend both of them very highly. We are so glad we did this project and would definitely work with Normandy again in the future.”

“Wonderful experience working with Liz and Mike from Normandy Remodeling, we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommend reaching out to Liz if you are starting early discussions on a remodel. Family friendly, high quality work, and great staff all around.”

“My husband and I recently visited Normandy Remodeling and experienced “The Normandy difference” (that’s what I call the comfort and ease in the way they conduct business), which started with meeting a designer. Liz listened intently, made notes about our home, family and lifestyle, and when we met for a second time in the showroom her suggested selections were exactly what we were envisioning – she linked everything back to what she had observed and learned about us. All her suggestions were based on our style and habits and what we wanted as a family, rather than pushing the latest trend or products.

I have to add as a dual working couple, we are thrilled that Normandy manages all tasks (design, permits, materials, selections, architects, dumpster, etc.) and appreciate Liz’ detailed thought process. When we signed our contract, Liz took the time to review the scope of the project, the estimated timeline, and all aspects of the contract. Beyond our signatures, payment and approvals, everything is left to Liz and the rest of the team at Normandy, so we can focus on our family and our jobs. We are looking forward to our new kitchen and working with the Normandy team.”

“We had over six companies come out to discuss our remodel, and Liz Marusin was truly in a league of her own! From the moment we met her, she was incredibly professional, prompt, and thorough. Liz took the time to really think through our design and was impressively detailed in her approach. Her keen eye for design, paired with her fantastic listening skills, made her stand out from the rest.

Liz has impeccable taste and really understood what we were looking for. Out of everyone we interviewed, she was hands-down the best. While we ultimately chose not to move forward with Normandy due to the cabinets being outside of our budget, we would absolutely choose Liz as our designer. If the cabinet price had been more in line with our budget, Normandy would have been our top choice, thanks to Liz’s exceptional work and attention to detail.

If you’re looking for someone who will truly listen to your needs, bring creative solutions, and offer professional expertise, we highly recommend Liz Marusin. She made a lasting impression, and we are confident she will do the same for others.”

“Designer, Liz Marusin, Normandy Remodeling, was our first contact with Normandy Remodeling.  From the first time we met with Liz, we knew we were going to have a good experience.  Liz had great questions and kept detailed notes right from the beginning, even though she didn’t know we were choosing Normandy.  Once we decided to go with Normandy Remodeling, Liz was there to help us navigate through all the steps of this vast project.  Through many visits, at our home and the Hinsdale office, Liz guided through our choices.  She gave great ideas and listened to our concerns and follow-up on those concerns.   Through the planning, Liz was coming to us to make sure we had what we wanted and that we were on track.   Once the construction started, Liz was still helping up choose lighting, colors, etc.   She was always there to support us.  Liz made an overwhelming remodel, into an achievement challenge.   We truly enjoyed working with her and using her knowledge and talents to get to our beautiful remodel.”
