Tinley Park couple gives tips on how to choose the right remodeler

How do you find the best remodeler for your home improvement project? Ask Richard and Marilyn Kasper and they’ll tell you that it pays to do your homework if you want A+ results.

First, “you have to create a realistic budget without over-leveraging yourself,” said Richard, who in recent months hired Distinctive Remodelers to renovate the kitchen and replace the roof and windows in their 19-year-old Tinley Park home. The Kaspers are absolutely thrilled with the results.

“It’s also important to research remodeling companies carefully,” Richard said. “Make sure the business you choose has been around a while, and get referrals to customers whom you can call. Ask how happy they were with the finished project and the level of service they received.”

Additionally, Richard noted it’s essential to meet and work directly with the owner of the remodeling firm and try to establish a healthy working relationship.

“Get a feel for this person and try to develop a rapport so that you’re on the same wavelength,” he said. “Be honest with the remodeler about what you want and what you can afford.”

Before embarking on a renovation project, “you should also work closely with your significant other to make sure you’re both on the same page when it comes to brands, finishes, colors, styles and other preferences,” said Marilyn.

What Richard has particularly enjoyed about working with Distinctive Remodelers was the high level of courtesy, neatness and professionalism demonstrated by Chairman Bryan Nooner and his crew.

“Distinctive Remodelers isn’t pushy or inflexible with recommendations. They treat you like a true collaborator in the process, making sure your input and preferences are incorporated into the finished project,” said Richard. Additionally, Nooner and his team “do a neat, orderly job and don’t leave behind any mess or dust. It’s wonderful when you find a company like this you can trust and rely on.”

Distinctive Remodelers offers a diverse array of renovation projects, including kitchen makeovers, basement finishing, room build-outs, second-level additions, roofing, siding and window replacements, and home theater room installations —with no residential job too large for the firm to tackle. Also, all work is backed by a full warranty.

“Plus, we have a skilled, capable crew we’ve recruited, not to mention an unsurpassed reputation for exceptional value and quality,” said Nooner.

The firm 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.

“When you hire Distinctive Remodelers, you can rest assured that you’ve enlisted the most knowledgeable, courteous professionals in the industry. Every person on our crew has been carefully screened and will treat you and your home with the greatest respect,” said Nooner. “And you can count on prompt, thorough responses to your questions and requests, too.”
