Normandy Remodeling

I've used Normandy in the past for my home projects, and they did an excellent job. I had the opportunity to use them on a different project last year, and they did an excellent job on that. I have worked with Tony Tondelli and Greg Glatz in the past, and I would highly recommend them. Normandy does a great job, and they're a great company to work with.

Normandy Remodeling

After having our kitchen remodeled with Normandy, we decided to use them for our bathroom. Kathryn O'Donovan was a very good designer, she helped select and design everything. She is very friendly, courteous and is always full of ideas. She generally understood what I was looking for and was able to design a bathroom style with all the fittings. All the workers were very polite, came on time, and were very courteous. I would definitely recommend Normandy. Normandy is totally worth.

Normandy Remodeling

I was extremely satisfied with quality of work and the knowledge of Heather and Ken. All subcontractors were courteous, kind, and great artisans. Normandy Remodeling offers a great selection of materials. They were very timely and addressed all of our concerns. I hope other people have the same experience I did.

Joseph T. DesPlaines, IL Review Apr 02, 2012 5 star rating
Normandy Remodeling

Normandy Remodeling has gone above and beyond. They are extremely cooperative when answering questions and addressing concerns. They handle everything perfectly. I didn't like how one tile looked and they fixed it right away. I can't say enough to commend them. There is no sloppy work done.

David S. Elmhurst, IL Review Mar 15, 2012 1 star rating
Normandy Remodeling

Disappointing. We solicited 3 bids from reputable builders in the area and went with Normandy-even though they were the highest bid-due to the positive on line reviews. The painted cabinets are noticeably cracked along the seams-as if they were not painted properly - Normandy is unconcerned about this issue we presume because they have been paid in full. There were several design issues (cabinet that cut into a hallway making it impassable, refrigerator cabinet that did not cover the side of the refrigerator , etc) that caused months of delays. As far as we are concerned, this project is still not 100% complete.

Response From
Normandy Remodeling
Mar 21, 2012

We are very sorry that your remodeling experience was disappointing to you. We do our best to make the remodeling process go as smoothly as possible, but occasionally issues will arise that can cause delays or unexpected outcomes. We are currently working closely with the cabinet manufacturer to find a suitable solution to the cracking you are experiencing on your cabinets. We acknowledge that nothing can give you back the time that was taken through delays and frustration, and we hope that our commitment to your long term satisfaction will become evident to you in the upcoming months and years. Occasionally there are miscommunications or issues that slip through the cracks, and our commitment to making every customer a raving fan is one of the primary reasons why we survey our clients after the project is complete.

Normandy Remodeling

Our experience with Normandy Remodeling was a breath of fresh air. We are very satisfied with their remodeling of our kitchen and addition of a new first floor master bedroom and sunroom, all completed according to schedule. Normandy’s attention to detail during their planning, design, and construction was impressive. Their design, by Gary Cerek, was both beautiful and practical. The construction, supervised by Ken Garrison, was completed in a careful, efficient, and timely manner. All their employees and subcontractors produced quality work.

Comment Sales Knowledge Schaumburg, IL Mar 13, 2012

Gary Cerek was very knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and courteous while working with us on our remodeling project. Mr. Cerek always kept us informed as to the necessary details of the project. His guidance, along with the help of Sharon Weldzius, ensured a successful design that was both beautiful and practical.

Normandy Remodeling

WE had a great experience with doing our room addition thru Normandy. Our designer Terry was terrific, meeting all our needs in a creative manner. I especially appreciated how she listened to our desires, looked at the style and design of our house and designed the new room to look like a natural extension of the existing house. Ken, our supervisor, kept us up to date on when each portion of the project would be done. The project came in ahead of schedule due to careful scheduling of the subcontractors. The room looks great and the craftmanship is top notch. We highly recommend Normandy.

Normandy Remodeling are true professionals. They were creative in the design, and patient with us as we spent hours in their showroom. They seem to take pride in their work and making you happy. I am proud to recommend them.

Normandy Remodeling

Normandy Builders and the staff are very professional. John and Rick both responded promptly to any questions or issues we had. Our only problem was with the sub-contractors. Everyone was nice and did complete their job. However, almost everyone made an error that required a return visit, especially the plumber and the electrician.

Asad C. Oak Brook, IL Review Jan 23, 2012 5 star rating

We had Kathryn as our designer. She was very professional and understood my needs. She incorporated them into the design. She did a great job. The team led by Andy did a great job. They are the best. I would recommend them to anyone who can use them. I had heard they were the best but after using them, I know they are the best.

Kenneth M. Joliet, IL Review Jan 21, 2012 5 star rating
Normandy Remodeling

You are signing up with true professionals when you work with Normandy. The designer, the architect, the job superintendent, and all other Normandy employees and subcontractors are committed to giving the client the best possible result. Of the two projects we have done with Normandy, this was the most extensive. This was also the best run project thanks to the dedicated work of Chris Beck our superindentent. I like to watch the work in progress. I was able to ask questions of the workmen that they readily answered. The end result was excellent and has drawn many positive comments from our neighbors. Not only have they been impressed with the new room, but they were also complimentary of the process. Normandy makes sure you will have neighbors that still like you when the work is done. You do get what you pay for with Normandy - high quality, on time work that meets or exceeds your specifications. Thanks to Stephanie, Chris, and all the other Normandy employees and subcontractors for creating a great studio room above our garage.

They have completed three projects for me: my basement, my kitchen, and my bathroom. I chose them based on reviews I read and the five year warranty they offer. Their workmanship is great and they are very professional to work with. I am very pleased with Normandy Remodeling, I would definitely use them again, and I would definitely recommend them. You really do get what you pay for with Normandy Remodeling.

Normandy Remodeling has been very pleasurable and nice to work with. They have resolved any issues that happened during the build and I could call them at any time of the day or evening and get an immediate response. I was very happy with the quality of the work and people that worked on the job.

We were VERY pleased with the process (planning, demolition, remoldeling) that Normandy Builders facilitated. Both Ann Stockard and Rich Ruh were professional, courteous, and empathetic to our needs. We would unequivocally recommend them to any prospective homeowner interested in remodeling their home.

I had my kitchen remodeled by Normandy Remodeling. I was sorry I didn't get the bathroom done at the same time. The experience was all that I wanted; a professional experience with respect to the home owner, and my property. It has been great in comparison to other vendors in the past. I would more then recommend them. I am happy with the results. You get more than what you paid for, definitely. I'm looking forward to working with Ann again to get the master bathroom done at my home.

When we started the project, we had two goals in mind: we wanted ourselves and our friends and family to think it was absolutely fabulous, and we didn't want it to look like an addition. Normandy did a fantastic job. Katheryn O'Donovan provided a great design. They exceeded our expectations.

Thomas M. Gurnee, IL Review Nov 21, 2011 5 star rating

Everyone was neat, orderly, and clean. They were all friendly. They were in out house while we were gone, and everything was fine. We loved Normandy, and are looking into doing more work with them. Normandy does quality work, and has a professional staff. They do what they say, and have no surprises. We are totally pleased.

Leslie Lawrence was wonderful, as she guided us through many design ideas, while incorporating our wants into what could be feasibly done. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and we have developed a lasting friendship. We feel that we could ask her anything regarding design ideas, during the project and that we can continue to do so in the future. Everyone at Normandy was truly professional and followed through on all commitments.

Normandy Builders is a wonderful company which provided excellent service with our remodeling project. From the beginning when we met with Gary and Sharon, we knew we would be pleased! Each step of the project met or exceeded our expecations. Gary and Sharon were mindful of our budget and respected our ideas and wishes. They were able to suggest materials that were of high quality, and at the same time stayed within our budget. Our project was completed in a timely fashion thanks to the direction of Chris Beck our project manager who kept the construction schedule moving. He was easily accessible and answered questions as soon as he was able to. The contractors who worked on our project displayed excellent skills in their respective fields. They were respectful of our home, cleaned up everyday and came when they were supposed to be there. Normandy has given us a beautiful kitchen and hardwood flooring remodel! We are very pleased with the design, workmanship and materials. We would highly recommend Normandy to anyone and look forward to using them again in the future! Thank you for all your hard work on our home!

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.
