“In August 2014, we decided to do a full remodel of our 70s kitchen. We hired Tranquility Builders of Oswego, IL We presented them with our design requirements and they improved upon them. Bev Totsch and her subcontractors were always on time and were respectful of our home. Everything was replaced and remodeled -- walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinetry, and appliances. We were told the project would take about five weeks and it did. The end results were stunning! Everyone who's seen our new kitchen has been very impressed. We highly recommend Tranquility Builders.”

“My husband and I were very happy with James' work for us which included architectural work for our master bedroom and bathroom and our kitchen. Our Oak Park home is a 1906 gem and we wanted to keep the integrity of detail yet become more livable. Both projects included moving walls; designing wooden details--windows to cabinets--that reflected detail in the rest of the house; placing weight-bearing beams to support ceilings and roof; redesigning stairs to basement and back yard, etc. Vanderheyden is a good listener and a solid architect/designer. He worked well with both our contractor and kitchen designer to improve and carry out our designs. We give him 5 stars. Linda and John Hillman”

“Gladys was involved in our kitchen design from start to finish. In addition to being a very polite, approachable, fun person to deal with, she is a design genius! Gladys was there for us, following up on us, without us having to call her. She will be there for anyone she works for. Gladys was able to take our thoughts and feelings and translate that into sketches and product choices that perfectly matched what we wanted. We live in our dream kitchen today that reflects the input of Gladys, which is a modern, warm, open-air design, with a pop, that makes getting up and having coffee the best part of the day. We now spend most of our time there, and this is 2 years later. Bruce and Judy Newman, Buffalo Grove, IL”

“Without question - the most professional and incredible addition that we have made to our home. We have lived in our home for 38 years. It is a 3 bedroom ranch with an addition put on top 22 years or so ago. With the kids gone we decided to use some ground floor space to enlarge our relatively small kitchen. We found Dan (and his sidekick, Joan) through my brother. Dan did a major remodeling for him with a big part of it being a complete kitchen overhaul. My wife saw the job and fell in love with the kitchen. We had Dan and Joan come out and gave them our ideas. They responded with an entirely different approach - converting one of the bedrooms to kitchen space. It turned out that was the best approach and I can't say enough about the two of them. Easy to work with, professional, and extremely talented. We have yet to have someone to come into our house that genuinely isn't in awe of our new kitchen! Dan handles the construction and Joan deals with the designer aspect of it. They make a great team! There is not a single thing that we would change and here we are - almost a year after they completed the job - and we still shake our heads at what an amazing job they did. They covered everything - from the smallest construction detail to the wallpaper on the walls. They got a feel for our style and then they went to work. The results were amazing. They bring both aspects to the table - the aesthetic and the technical - and they do it very well. After working with the two of them we actually consider them both friends! You almost have to see the job to appreciate the quality of it. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have a large remodeling job done. What I didn't mention is the balance of the job they did for my brother. It was incredibly well done - with an eye to quality and fine details - which you rarely see anymore. I would rate them 6 stars out of 5! True professionals!”

“Replace bath tub with a walk in shower. It looks fabulous and working with Paul and installer Joe was a real pleasure.”

“Kim Haig is a fantastic architect. She has a great eye for the details large and small, and knows how to put together spaces that work well both on their own and room-to-room in relation to each other. Our project was a success and it started with the plans she created.”

“The 500 sq foot addition is not complete, but so far, they have exceeded my expectations. Don (owner) is as passionate in this addition as I am. I will add more detail and photos when the addition is completed. My architect had originally designed this so I would have had to walk up a step or two to get into my new addition. Don figured out a better solution and I had the architect change the drawings and I am so grateful that he did. Price was very competitive He and his team show up when they say they will He is constantly keeping me updated on how everything is going The trades (AC/Electric/Plumbing) that he has brought in to help have been amazing too.”

“Wetmore & Associates provided high quality work on our project, a two story addition on a very old Victorian farmhouse built in 1887 located in downtown Wheaton. Our project included a new master suite, family room, additional closets, floor refinishing and a new gas fireplace with built-ins. Brian and the Wetmore team worked with us to build our vision, support changes and allowed for flexible options when making selections during the building process. The team did a really nice job tying in the old and new spaces together with comparable molding, hardware and materials to make the new areas flow into the existing rooms of the house. Overall we are very pleased with our new spaces and would highly recommend Wetmore & Associates to others, particularly those looking for experienced builders who specialize in older or historic homes.”
