Distinctive Remodelers’ convenient showroom saves customers time and money
SELECTION CENTER IS ONE OF LARGEST IN SW SUBURBS

In the 21st century, one-stop shopping is king—which is why stores like Wal-Mart, Amazon.com and Costco are so popular. And it’s also why homeowners often quickly grow frustrated with remodeling firms who send their clients on a wild goose chase to choose products, materials and finishes from different vendors and suppliers.

Unlike its competitors, however, Distinctive Remodelers makes the home improvement process easy for customers, compliments of its spacious and easily accessible Orland Park showroom — which is one of the largest in the southwest suburbs.

“Our showroom serves as a one-stop selection center where clients can choose all of the interior and exterior products, materials and styles together under one roof,” said Bryan Nooner, Chairman of Distinctive Remodelers. “This isn’t some little niche in the corner of our office with a few carpet samples, either—our showroom boasts 3,000 square feet and is stocked with numerous floor and wall displays, swatches, samples and an exterior wall mock-up complete with siding, roofing, facia, soffit and gutter samples.”

The selection center, in fact, showcases four different kitchen vignettes, a luxury bath display, and a fireplace display. Customers can see, touch and compare samples—including cabinetry, windows, masonry, stone and vinyl exteriors, hardwood flooring, tile, carpeting, fixtures, pulls and handles, trim and much more—from a vast array of reputable manufacturers.

“Our showroom provides a much wider range of choices and products, including numerous granite countertop selections, hundreds of different cabinetry and hardware options, and various stain and glazing choices to customize each client’s kitchen,” said Nooner. “We carry the newest designs, shades, finishes and materials—all the latest trends, from brushed chrome door handles and stainless steel appliances to granite countertops and painted or glazed cabinets in oak, birch and cherry woods.”

Having a large, comprehensive showroom offers several advantages to our remodeling clients,” said Nooner. “First, it saves a tremendous amount of time they would otherwise spend driving to and from individual selection suppliers, such as the tile outlet, the cabinet shop and the granite warehouse.”

Secondly, Nooner noted, “having these samples and displays in one location makes it easy for our customers to visualize their finished project. They can place a hardwood flooring plank right next to the kitchen cabinetry of their choice to ensure they match, for example. Having real product samples and displays that you can view and touch really makes a big difference. It reduces uncertainty and anxiety about picking the wrong materials, colors and finishes and gives the homeowner confidence. And even though there’s a lot to pick from, we work with each customer in a logical sequence to ensure that they’re not overwhelmed or worried about making the wrong choices.”

Third, said Nooner, “in addition to having all the selections under one roof, we have the necessary professionals in one location. We employ a talented designer who can provide computer-aided design drawings of your proposed project as well as a skilled draftsman who can draw up any changes needed. This results in improved efficiency—we can go from concept to finished design in a very short time because we don’t have to outsource these jobs. In most cases we can reduce the time from concept to a finished project by 50 percent.”

Nooner encourages homeowners to sketch out even a crude mock-up of the finished renovation project or upgraded living space they envision on a piece of paper and bring it to their showroom. There, the Distinctive team can perfect the drawing on computer and add color, depth and geometrical precision to the concept to help the client better envision the completed job.

Nooner said he founded Distinctive Remodelers based primarily on rising demand from past home buyer clients seeking to modernize or expand their existing residences.

“We have a large base of satisfied, loyal customers from over the years who often contact us for future projects,” said Nooner. “We would often get calls and requests from many of these past buyers who wanted to hire us for projects like finishing a basement, adding a room or reworking a kitchen. As a result, we created Distinctive Remodelers to better serve our customers’ needs.”

Distinctive Remodelers provides a diverse range of renovation projects, including, roofing, siding, window replacements, first or second floor room additions, home theater installations, basement finishing and kitchen makeovers — with no residential job too large or too small for the firm to tackle. Plus, all work is backed by a full warranty.

“We also do roof repairs and replacements, thanks to the fact that we are a certified licensed roofing contractor, which is a difficult certification for remodeling firms to obtain,” Nooner said.

Distinctive Remodelers draws on the built-in advantages of being a part of Distinctive Companies — a successful, established area business with 20-plus years of collective experience.

“We listen to our customers and learn what they want to do and why. We want to know what their goals and expectations are. Then, our expert team helps make their vision a reality,” said Nooner. “We have a highly skilled crew in place that we’ve added to, as well as an unparalleled reputation for outstanding quality and value. Although we’re best known in south suburbs like New Lenox, Lockport, Orland Park, Tinley Park and Frankfort, we serve clients from Northwest Indiana to suburbs north of O’Hare. Recently, we’ve started reviewing projects for clients in the western suburbs like Naperville and Downers Grove, and we’re getting increased interest from homeowners in Hinsdale and La Grange, too.”

With Distinctive Remodelers, “you can rely on courteous, knowledgeable professionals — all of whom have been carefully screened — who will treat you and your property with respect,” said Nooner. “You’ll get punctual responses to your questions and requests. And you can count on the highest level of customer service from a project manager specifically assigned to your home who will supervise your job from start to finish.”
