A neighbor whose home we admire recommended a designer that they had worked with over the years. Leslie and Jennifer, designers and founding partners of a new firm, Fourth Avenue Design Group of Westmont. > Leslie and Jennifer met us at our home. Measured our two bathrooms and came back with their ideas. Over the course of several weeks, they guided us through the design choices that we made. They helped us choose a contractor and provided detailed plans for our project. There was good communication. Leslie and Jennifer, with their years of experience, were always available to help solve any problems that arose. > We love our new bathrooms and highly recommend Fourth Avenue Design Group as a talented and professional team to work with. **★★★★★ — Denise, May 2025** > I was hesitant in starting my bathroom renovation because of all the negative comments I heard from friends who had work done previously. Somebody recommended Fourth Avenue Design Group so I decided to contact them. From our first meeting with the designer (Jennifer) she explained the cost, what the job would entail and was with us every step of the way from choosing the materials and the contractor she chose (Finel) who was everything she said from the expertise of his crew and at the end of their work day my project was as clean as when they started. > I would recommend Fourth Avenue Design Group to anyone who is considering a remodel. > I know when and if I need to do any future remodel they will be the first and last phone call I would make. **★★★★★ — Bob & Jackie, April 2025** > We had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on our kitchen/mudroom remodel. Jennifer was always available to address any questions we had during the process. Her creativity and attention to detail made for a smooth and stress free project. We would highly recommend Jennifer and her partners at Fourth Avenue Design **★★★★★ — steven\_papageorge48, March 2025** > We worked with 4th Ave Design Group, specifically Karen Chanan, regarding several large projects in our home. Karen was extremely helpful and patient with us during every step of the process. She offered up great ideas and made layout suggestions that we hadn’t considered. She has a great network of resources; she was quick to find solutions to any issue that arose and was available anytime we had questions. We would certainly work with Karen and 4th Ave Design Group again in the future and recommend them to friends. **★★★★★ — Laurie Didesch, Jan. 2025** > Karen did an excellent job. She brought to life our vision for our condo. We get a lot of compliments on the renovation/remodel. She listened to our ideas but offered direction when needed. She is friendly and professional. The contractors were also very good at their jobs. The work was done in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this company and this designer. **★★★★★ — Paula & Matt Makes, March 2024** > Fourth Ave is absolutely the group with whom to design your dream home renovation or upgrade. Leslie and her team are professional every step of the way, engaging vigorously (yet without pressure) throughout the process of spatial reimagination, material selection, and construction planning. This team sincerely takes the time to understand a client's vision, and in our case, exceeding our high expectations upon completion. One of us works for a large, national general contractor - and we were impressed with the timeliness, quality, and attention we received from Fourth Ave. We were not going to be easily impressed with whoever did this project, but Fourth Ave proved us wrong. For reference, the project as a ~1,500+ square foot complete gut, re-design, and renovation of a basement, including a completely new wet bar, media, and recreation area designed and built by Fourth Ave, a full bathroom upgrade in the basement, and a mudroom / powder room upgrade one level up. We shopped around - and no one provided the level of care, attention, and value we received from Leslie and Fourth Ave. They will be the best investment you make in your upcoming home project, hands down. **★★★★★ — Angie Donenberg, Feb. 2024** > I have worked with Karen and Fourth Avenue Design many times and the biggest thing that stands out to me is their high level of creativity, professionalism and knowledge of the business. They have outstanding relationships with all their clients, vendors and trades and they work hard to make a clients vision and dream come to life. If you are looking for a one room remodel, a kitchen or bathroom make-over or a whole house solution Fourth Avenue Design is your top choice! **★★★★★ — Joan, Feb. 2024** > Remodeling my bathroom and laundry room was easy with Jennifer. She helped me design the best floor plan for me. I was in awe. Together we picked out the cabinets, tile, grout, mirrors, light and bathroom fixtures. I could have never put this together by myself. She took care of all the contractors, scheduling, ordering and delivery times. It all worked like a well oiled machine. She is amazing. **★★★★★ — Laura Bouchelle, Feb. 2024** > We recently completed our main bath reno designed by Karen from Fourth Avenue Design Group. It's absolutely gorgeous. Karen listened to our likes and dislikes, style preferences and challenges with the old bathroom and designed a beautiful and functional bathroom with so much storage! The GC she worked with was very fast and tidy, and did excellent work. Karen was there every step of the way answering questions, troubleshooting the little things that inevitably comes up, and checking on progress. We're looking forward to working with her again when we're ready for our next project. ## Selected projects - [Timeless Contrast - Wilmette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-contrast-wilmette-pj-vj~7837764) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Urban Contemporary - Chicago](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-contemporary-chicago-pj-vj~7851001) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Luxe Kitchen - Hinsdale](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxe-kitchen-hinsdale-pj-vj~7585782) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Modern Warmth: Light Wood and Green Kitchen -Tower Lakes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-warmth-light-wood-and-green-kitchen-tower-lakes-pj-vj~7663878) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Designed for a busy family of five with young children, this kitchen blends functionality with style to create a warm and welcoming hub of the home.
