Tinley Park Kitchen & 

Bath Shoppe continues 

to please customers 

The following letter is from Sharon and 

Jeff N., whose kitchen appears in the ad 

for Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath Shoppe. 

The cabinets are Dura Supreme, cherry 

cider with Cambria Nevern countertops. 

“I want to take a moment to share the 

wonderful experience we had in working 

with Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath in remodeling 

our kitchen. While we were initially 

uncertain whether they could meet 

our design and quality needs, as we got 

to know our designer, Rachel, we grew 

increasingly confident in her abilities to 

design the kitchen we wanted and their 

ability to offer higher-end cabinetry. 

“Indeed, as we realized early on, kitchen 

remodels can be expensive and create a 

great deal of inconvenience. We appreciated 

the honesty of our designer, and the 

timeline she established for our remodel 

was pretty much spot-on perfect in its execution. 

We also appreciated her incredible 

patience with us. Her professionalism 

was beyond compare, and we are 

truly grateful for her willingness to help 

us through our struggles as we searched 

for the highest quality alternatives to meet 

our needs. Rachel always brought to the 

table numerous alternatives and shared 

them with us in such a pleasant and caring 

manner.

Has the home lost its curb appeal? 

A neighbor across the street has been 

trying to sell her home for nearly three 

years now. Inside, it is beautiful. 

Granite countertops, hardwood floors, 

multiple fireplaces, updated bathrooms 

with the latest fixtures — the list goes on. 

People who do the virtual tour or eventually 

see the home’s interior are duly 

impressed. And yet no reasonable offers. 

Why? 

Even though she is in the real estate 

business, she broke a cardinal rule: just 

like people, a home makes a first impression, 

and its exterior is what does this. 

That happens when others pull up a picture 

online or get a real-time look from 

one’s driveway. 

In her case, maybe the peeling paint on 

the siding or missing and curling shingles 

have something to do with it. Or perhaps 

it is the porch that looks more like a deck. 

Not to overlook the chimney that needs 

rebuilding, the 90-foot asphalt driveway 

with a half-dozen potholes or the missing 

overhead garage doors. And this list goes 

on, too. 

Let’s face it: Improving or maintaining 

the exterior of a home is not a priority for 

many of us. Its not ‘sexy’ or very bragworthy 

to mention the “beautiful” new 

roof one just got, especially when friends 

keep going on and on about their new 

bathrooms or kitchens. 

The choices of different exterior materials 

for the middle-class homeowner are 

much more limited, when compared to 

selections for inside projects. For many 

people, there is just not much fun in picking 

out siding — and certainly little exercising 

or flexing of one’s creative muscle. 

And then there may be a few other trials. 

Everyone has heard horror stories 

of the window salesman who would not 

leave. Some me even be the victim of one 

whose after shave/cologne lingered in the 

kitchen for days. Others may have had the 

experience of hearing these words from 

the foreman, “It’s no problem. I will fix.” 

Taking care of the outside of one’s 

home is more a need or a necessity than 

a want or desire. It is utilitarian to make 

sure gutters drain properly, the roof does 

not leak or your windows are not wasting 

heating dollars. 

And yet, there is a certain majesty in 

the simplicity of an exterior project well 

done. It can be felt when one pulls into 

the driveway that first week or two after 

its completion. Whether it is pride as a 

conscientious homeowner coming out or 

just the relief of having handled a longstanding 

problem, it is a good feeling. 

And those new to choosing a contractor 

or completing a project of this sort need 

not worry; they are in good hands. 

At Lindholm Roofing, it is a desire to 

give homeowners this feeling — to make 

that exterior remodeling or replacement 

project go right. The project coordinators 

that come to visit and assist are courteous 

and knowledgeable professionals with an 

average of nearly 20 years experience in 

exterior home improvement. 

The company has been in business and 

owned by the same family for nearly 70 

years. Because of this longevity, its record 

of craftsmanship and attention to detail, 

as well as its steadfast agreement to 

honor warranties, it has earned the respect 

of many Village building departments, 

leading insurance companies and, most 

importantly, tens of thousands of homeowners. 

Lindholm would love to be the one to 

help with any of these projects and help a 

home make a good first impression.

Most people know they need to clean 

out their dryer lint tray between each 

cycle, but what lurks behind the wall is 

just as important for safety and avoiding 

fire traps, as well as fully efficient dryer 

performance. 

Joe Enzenberger, owner of Dryer Vent 

Wizard, opened his New Lenox-based 

business in 2009. 

Lint is the villain — lint that has been 

allowed to build up and linger too long in 

the dryer exhaust vent. 

It is estimated by the United States Consumer 

Product Safety Commission and 

the U.S. Fire Administration that 15,500 

fires associated with clothes dryers occur 

annually. These fires account for an average 

of 20 deaths, 370 injuries and more 

than $88 million in property damage. 

“Failure to clean the dryer vent” was 

the leading factor cited in U.S. Fire Administration 

reports. 

“It is something very few people know 

about or think about,” said Enzenberger, 

whose company specializes in dryer vent 

cleaning, repair, alteration and installation. 

“It is the leading cause of dryer 

fires.” 

Lint accumulation also can cause dryers 

to stop working or to work inefficiently. 

A dryer vent clogged with lint can add 

as much as $18-24 per month to energy 

costs. 

“Improper venting causes problems, 

as well,” Enzenberger said. “The dryer 

exhaust duct and connections should be 

made of rigid metal or semi-rigid metal, 

and secured with metal heat-resistant tape, 

rather than duct tape. I often find plastic 

or foil accordion-type material, which can 

easily trap lint and is more susceptible to 

kinks and crushing.” 

Warning signs include 

• Clothes are taking more than one cycle 

to dry, especially jeans and towels 

• No lint visible on lint screen 

• Dryer repeatedly stops during a cycle 

• Clothes have moldy smell after dry cycle 

• Clothes are very hot after a dry cycle 

• The top of the dryer is hot to the touch 

while running 

• There is excess lint left on your clothing 

“This has been a consumer education 

process, but it’s hard to get the word out,” 

Enzenberger said. “Most don’t call until 

they have a serious problem with their 

dryer.” 

He suggests people treat clothes dryers 

as a household item in need of regular 

maintenance. Consumers can protect 

dryer performance and promote safety 

by cleaning the lint screen between each 

use, ensuring the connection between the 

dryer and wall is made of compliant material 

and remains unkinked, and having 

the dryer exhaust duct cleaned regularly. 

Dryer manufacturers recommend inspection 

and cleaning at least annually. 

Something to watch for in spring: Birds 

will begin to build nests, and a popular 

nesting site for birds is inside dryer vent 

lines. Spring is an important time to have 

an inspection, and cleaning of clothes dryers 

and dryer vent systems. 

Another important tip — never let the 

clothes dryer run when out of the house 

or asleep.

Harvest the power of Fresh Raised Gardens for healthier living 

Fresh Raised Gardens creates 

healthy, organic, raised-bed vegetable 

gardens and gardening solutions 

for families, schools and 

community centers. 

Its goal is to help people take 

control of the foods they eat by 

harvesting their own fresh produce 

in an easy-to-maintain 

raised bed system. This familyowned 

business began with the 

intention of creating a simple way 

to grow safe, fresh food for family 

and friends, but Fresh Raised 

Gardens soon discovered many 

more reasons to help others plant 

a garden, too. 

Some key reasons to 

start a raised-bed garden 

• Take control of what the 

family eats. By growing food, 

people can eliminate chemicals, 

pesticides and waxes. Even produce 

such as organic citrus fruits, 

out-of-season organic cucumbers 

and organic apples can be waxed. 

Growing fresh food from healthy 

soil gives people more control 

over its quality, reducing concern 

for those with dietary restrictions 

and allergies. As a parent, anyone 

can take pride in knowing they 

are putting earth-friendly foods 

into the family’s bodies. 

• Encourages children of all ages 

to eat produce. Fresh Raised 

Gardens thank gardening for 

the wide range of foods their 

children love to eat. It was not 

until the children began school 

that other parents noticed the 

children ate differently. A mother 

would call them up after her 

child ate dinner at their house, 

asking how on earth they could 

get her child to eat eggplant, 

kohlrabi or Swiss chard. 

• Get them outside and engaged. It 

is all too easy to get caught up 

in this fast-paced world. Sports, 

activities and technology can 

easily eat up time. Gardening 

has helped families regain a 

sense of balance and well-being. 

It can help slow a family’s pace, 

if they chose, and allow them 

an excuse to put down their 

screens and reconnect with each 

other. A garden offers a chance 

for some light exercise, and 

staying active keeps the mind 

healthy. Working in the garden 

can foster important life skills in 

children, such as patience and 

delayed gratification. Children 

have developed their love of 

science in a garden when they 

build real connections to topics 

such as photosynthesis, worm 

composting and the plant life 

cycle. 

• Fresh is best. Food allowed to 

ripen on the vine will develop 

its full flavor. If one has ever 

eaten a tomato, strawberry or 

cucumber straight from the 

garden, then one knows the full 

flavor and texture is almost impossible 

to find in any market. 

Vine-ripened foods are allowed 

to absorb higher levels on nutrients 

and water, making 

garden fresh foods higher in nutrition. 

In fact, some foods begin 

to lose their nutritional value 

after they are picked, so eating 

food straight from the backyard 

also improves its nutrition. 

Fresh Raised Gardens specializes 

in raised-bed gardening, because 

it is a perfect solution to 

areas with poor or contaminated 

soil, and uneven or wet ground. 

A raised bed offers less soil compaction, 

allowing for easy drainage 

and ideal growing conditions 

for root vegetables. The loose, 

fertile soil of a raised bed makes 

weeding a breeze and helps reduce 

or eliminate the need for resorting 

to harmful methods, such 

as weed killers. In the right location, 

a raised-bed garden almost 

takes care of itself. 

Getting started

big undertaking, so Fresh Raised

and understand the gardener’s time/ 

abilities to create a garden that is easy 

to reach and tend to. 

Once the plans are finalized, the 

garden is installed and filled with the 

recommended soil mixture, and any 

pavers, gravel, arbors, benches, etc. are 

completed, and the garden is ready to 

plant. They use the highest-quality materials 

that will last for years to come.

very active in the community. They 

have many successful gardens 

throughout Will County. They work 

closely with the Will County Land 

Use Department and have gardens at 

the Will County Health Department, 

several schools/churches and community 

gardens in Forest Park and 

Joliet, and this spring they are working 

with the Lockport Township 

Park District to create a showcase 

community garden. Fresh Raised 

Gardens has been recognized for 

their charitable works with Easter 

Seals and other communities in Will 

County for providing food solutions 

in low-service areas.

patios, plantings and pool 

decks. 

The company has served 

the Lincolnway community 

since 2000. Their 

designs and installations 

have won awards in Frankfort, 

Mokena, Tinley Park 

and Chicago. 

Koreman Landscape is 

owned and operated by 

Paul and Melanie Koreman. 

They live in Frankfort 

with their three daughters. 

Paul came into the industry 

with a master’s degree 

in horticulture and a strong 

creative drive. Melanie 

is a lifelong resident of 

Frankfort and deeply understands 

the community. 

Customers may remember 

them from the Frankfort 

farmers market, where 

they were regular vendors 

for more than 10 years. 

There are some fundamental 

things that people 

will always want from 

their outdoor space. Privacy, 

comfort and resortstyle 

living are requests 

Koreman hears often. The 

days of solid banks of evergreens 

along the foundation 

and huge swaths of 

pavement are gone. 

First-time homeowners 

and established residents 

all ask for a fresh look 

for their landscapes. They 

want plantings that change 

with the seasons and reflect 

the native landscape. 

Patios and outdoor living 

spaces need to flow out 

of the house as part of the 

total family space. Plants 

and shade elements like 

pergolas are worked into 

the patio, so residents and 

party guests are drawn into 

the entire property. 

Koreman says outdoor 

lighting is a great way 

to increase the sense of 

space and connect the inside 

with the outdoors. 

These and other modern 

design elements are built 

into every outdoor living 

space designed and installed 

by Koreman Landscape. 

Koreman’s practical 

knowledge of outdoor 

construction and deep understanding 

of how plants 

grow in this landscape is 

the perfect combination 

of skills to create the best 

outdoor space to which 

friends and family will 

want to return.

Is the roof ready for spring storms? 

Spring is here. 

Now is a good time to 

check for roof problems 

that may have developed 

or worsened over the winter 

months. It is wise to address 

roof problems while 

they are still minor, before 

they develop into major 

problems that can cause 

significant damage to the 

inside of a home. 

Prusak Roofing Inc. developed 

this checklist to 

ensure the roof is in good 

condition to withstand 

spring storms. 

Outside roof check 

• Loose nails, loose or 

missing shingles 

• Finding nails on the 

ground 

• Split or curled shingles, 

or those missing granules 

• Sagging or bulging areas 

on the roof 

• Signs of animal activity 

• Damaged/rusted/missing 

flashing 

• Damaged gutters or 

downspouts 

• Rotted or damaged fascia 

board 

• Hail or wind damaged 

areas of roofing, siding 

and fascia 

Inside roof/attic check 

• Leaks around chimney or 

vents 

• Water stains on ceilings 

or walls 

• Proper ventilation 

• Sagging between rafters 

• Visible light from outside 

Minor problems can develop 

quickly into major 

issues with spring storms. 

If one suspects there might 

be a roof problem, a professional 

assessment is 

recommended. 

Spring storms, with 

wind and hail, may cause 

both visible and unseen 

damage to the roof. Homeowners 

should check roofs 

and siding following a severe 

storm. Finding shingles 

on the ground is an indication 

of a problem, but 

many roof problems are 

not detected by the homeowner 

until interior damage 

occurs. If a homeowner 

believes there may be 

damage following a storm, 

contact Prusak Roofing — 

storm damage experts. 

The business will respond 

quickly, inspect the 

roof, show photographs of 

any damaged areas and, if 

repair is needed, provide 

homeowners with an estimate 

for repair. 

Prusak Roofing is a family-owned 

business with 

55 years of experience in 

roofing, siding and gutters. 

The business considers it a 

privilege to be able to serve 

customers, and realizes the 

best recommendation is 

when customers refer us to 

their families, friends and 

neighbors. Prusak Roofing 

has an A+ rating with the 

Better Business Bureau. 

It is licensed, bonded and 

insured. 

Selecting the right contractor 

is the most important 

factor to a successful 

home repair. Customers 

should consider the contractor’s 

reputation, length 

of time in business, quality 

of work, the guarantee of 

work being completed as 

expected, honest and fair 

pricing, and the promise 

from the company to stand 

behind its work. Prusak 

Roofing’s success have 

been built on these principles, 

and would like to 

show area residents who it 

is the company of choice 

for thousands of homeowners.

Granite and Marble Depot offers variety, service 

“To establish lasting relationships 

with our customers 

by exceeding their 

expectations and earning 

their trust through exceptional 

products and performance. 

We want you to be 

proud.” 

The Granite & Marble 

Depot offers more than 

100 species of marble and 

more than 200 species of 

natural granite, marble, 

quartz, limestone, travertine 

and slate in a wide variety 

of colors to suit most 

needs. Its professional and 

dedicated staff will assist 

customers in the design 

and selection process to 

ensure the most functional 

and pleasing setup. 

The business provides 

complete and professional 

installation in its service 

area. Its experienced crew 

will ensure customers’ utmost 

satisfaction. 

Easy and quick, GMD 

makes it an easy three-step 

process. 

Step 1 involves choosing 

the perfect stone design. 

The Granite & Marble Depot 

offers a free consultation 

at a customer’s home, 

office or its showroom to 

discuss needs and suggest 

ideas. GMD highly recommends 

that customers 

bring a sketch of the project 

to its showroom. It is a 

good idea to bring a cabinet 

sample and paint color, 

as well. A GMD consultant 

can help customers choose 

the right stone, as there are 

hundreds of colors from 

which to choose. 

Step 2 is placing the order. 

To place an order with 

GMD, it requires customers 

to have the following 

steps complete in their 

home. Cabinets need to be 

installed. All of the appliances 

in the kitchen need 

to be on location. The sink 

needs to be on location, 

so that GMD may take it 

as a template for the sink 

cutout. 

Once the above requirements 

are satisfied, GMD 

can come out to measure/ 

template the kitchen. The 

installers will work with 

customers to make sure 

all the specifications and 

technical details are provided. 

The last and final step is 

the installation. The homeowner 

must be present for 

installation. GMD will 

install the countertop and 

backsplash. 

Lastly, it will drill the 

faucet holes, attach the 

sink and mount the dishwasher. 

The ownership difference 

GMD is committed to 

enhancing the home-living 

lifestyle. It aims at “Making 

You Proud.” If customers 

wish, GMD can keep 

records to inform them 

of the latest news about 

natural stones. GMD will 

always seek feedback so, 

it can make the right adjustments 

to enhance its 

customer satisfaction goal. 

The right stone 

Having the best quality, 

best selection of colors 

and fabricating options, 

GMD’s team of stone enthusiasts 

guarantees satisfaction 

and maximizes the 

experience. 

The products 

• Granite 

• Marble 

• Quartz 

• Slate 

• Travertine 

• Limestone 

The right price 

The All-Inclusive Value 

Price gets customers on the 

way from Day 1, with no 

surprises. The purchase experience 

will be as simple as 

it is enjoyable. 

The delivery difference 

When GMD says on 

time, it means it. Every 

customer receives a professional 

orientation on 

the features of their stone 

and the simple way to care 

for it. Customers and their 

families will feel very 

proud of the investment.

What homeowners should consider when hiring a professional 

As we begin to crawl out of 

the gaps of a shaken economy, 

many are still looking for work 

wherever they can find it. 

The downside to this fact is 

that many people today are hiring 

untrained and under-skilled 

contractors who think that they 

have learned a few things from 

a couple DIY Network shows 

and are taking jobs as they come 

“just for the money.” 

We have all heard the phrase, 

“you get what you pay for,” and 

it could not be more accurate 

when talking about home improvements. 

These contractors, 

or fly-by-night companies, roll 

into the home and shoot a lowball 

price one is eager to jump 

on because one is trying to spend 

with providence (who isn’t, 

right?), but are unaware that 

those steal-of-a-deal prices come 

with a hefty drawback. 

Many of these businesses fail 

to carry the necessary insurance 

for their trade, lack continuing 

and professional education to 

further their skills, and do not involve 

themselves with state and 

national professional associations, 

where industry standards 

are set and regulated. 

So how do these factors affect 

the homeowner? 

Certified professionals in their 

fields have gone the extra lengths 

to learn and apply knowledgeable 

skills through written examinations, 

showing that they 

understand how to solve and 

correct problems, and through 

hands-on demonstrations evaluated 

by industry leaders. They do 

this because they not only take 

pride in crafting quality work 

but also have an aspiration for 

enriching the lives of others who 

benefit from their applied skills. 

Hiring a certified professional 

means the project was considered 

with the future in mind — a 

job that has functional longevity 

with products that are engineered 

to last. Most projects, 

when comparing work done by 

certified and untrained professionals, 

will come out looking 

similar when completed, but the 

worst nightmare for any homeowner 

who has just invested a 

good chunk of change into their 

property is to have that project 

start to slowly fall apart or fail 

on them after only a short time 

of use. 

These trade workers and their 

projects fail mostly because 

of improper planning, lack of 

knowledge in the specific details 

of the job and a willingness to 

cut corners to save money, themselves. 

These factors usually go 

unseen by the homeowner and 

are not noticed until it is too late, 

resulting in more money for a 

correction, or a permanent reminder 

of poor-quality work, if 

left unfixed.

For 30 years, Taylor 

Steam has been providing 

superior service, using 

state-of-the-art equipment 

to achieve desired goals 

and meet its customers’ 

expectations. 

Although there are 

many cleaning methods in 

the carpet-cleaning industry, 

the only one that can 

meet expectations is a true 

steam cleaning method. 

This is the recommended 

cleaning method of major 

carpet, upholstery and tapestry 

manufacturers, who 

often void warranty if other 

methods are used. 

The significant advantages 

are as follows. 

• Sanitizing and deodorizing 

• Water reaching 200 degrees 

kills germs, bacteria, 

odor, allergens and 

toxins 

• Less chemicals (This 

means you can rest assured 

children and pets 

are safe when detergents 

and cleaners are 

added and not removed 

properly. Other methods 

leave the fabric attracting 

even more dirt, and 

can make the carpet dirtier 

over time, and spots 

reappear after cleaning. 

Steam cleaning removes 

deep dirt and leaves no 

residue.) 

• Quicker drying time 

• Non-damaging and extended 

carpet life 

Leave the steaming to 

Taylor Steam.

Superior Cabinet Supply’s Customers speak for them 

Superior Cabinet Supply is 

fast approaching its 33nd year 

of providing American-made 

cabinetry and countertops to 

homeowners, contractors and 

home builders. 

Superior Cabinet’s roots 

started in Park Forest in May 

of 1985, as Superior Cabinet 

& Window. In 2006, Frank 

Klauck, owner and president, 

opened his second location, Superior 

Cabinet Supply at 19800 

S. Harlem in Frankfort — just 

north of Lincoln-Way North 

High School in Harlem Crossings 

Shopping Center. 

Klauck was a carpentry contractor 

for 10 years before 

starting the cabinet and window 

business in Park Forest. 

By 1990, he began phasing out 

home building and construction 

projects, and focused more on 

his role as a window contractor 

and kitchen and bath dealer who 

served homebuilders, contractors 

and homeowners directly. 

Klauck’s wife, Sandy, has 

worked with him for 19 years 

at both showrooms. She states 

word-of-mouth referrals are the 

bulk of their business. Approximately 

85 percent of their new 

customers come from referrals 

by homeowners and contractors. 

“As humble as we are, 

accolades are like receiving an 

award, as customer satisfaction 

in itself is our reward,” Sandy 

said. 

Here is an email sent to Superior 

by a satisfied homeowner 

from Tinley Park. This project 

was installed by a long-standing 

contractor in Tinley Park, Castlebar 

Construction. 

“Hi Frank, I cannot thank 

you and Superior Cabinet Supply 

enough! The design of my 

kitchen is just perfect for me. 

The layout of the cabinets has 

a great flow, and everything I 

need is at arm’s reach. I love my 

new kitchen. Frank, I appreciate 

your design work and incorporating 

everything that I wanted 

in my kitchen remodel. My 

walk-in pantry is awesome, and 

using cabinet doors as an invisible 

entrance makes it blend in 

beautifully with the utility cabinets 

on both sides. This is my 

‘hidden gem’ for storage. The 

cabinets with the pull-outs are 

great. No more getting down on 

the floor to find things. 

Thanks again, Frank and Superior 

Cabinet, for making this experience 

an enjoyable one, and 

the finished product a beautiful 

kitchen.” 

—Pat and Ken, Tinley Park 

Superior Cabinet offers instore 

planning and design consultations, 

3-D computer design 

and layout, in-home measurements 

with order, and delivery 

and installation services.

Tinley Park’s Lawn-Tech Ltd. has served 

area customers for 34 years 

Lawn-Tech Ltd. is a 

34-year-old family-owned 

business specializing in 

the custom application of 

fertilizers and pesticides to 

lawns, trees and shrubs. 

It currently services 

12,000 properties in the 

southwest suburban area 

with 21 service vehicles. 

Lawn-Tech uses granular 

fertilizer and liquid 

weed controls year-round 

to care for lawns. Optional 

services include preventive 

grub control, core aeration, 

preventive and curative 

insect and disease control, 

specialty programs for 

diseased lawns, and preemergent 

control of weeds 

in landscape beds. It offers 

flexible programs based on 

the customer’s expectations 

and finances. 

Lawn-Tech also offers 

tree and shrub fertilization, 

treatment for insect and disease 

suppression, and specialty 

programs if needed 

for plant-specific problems. 

Lawn-Tech customers receive 

newsletters when the 

lawn is serviced that discuss 

common seasonal problems 

customers’ lawns may be 

experiencing, as well as 

guidelines on how to do 

their maintenance activities 

correctly. 

Lawn-Tech dry fertilizers 

contain controlled release 

nitrogen year-round 

to give a more even feeding 

over the entire application 

period, and to reduce 

stress and burn potential 

in hot dry weather. Lawn- 

Tech thinks this is a major 

difference between their 

program and others, whose 

brochures may only mention 

controlled-release nitrogen 

in one summer application 

to reduce “burn” 

potential. 

If other companies were 

using controlled-release 

year-round,that would be a 

major selling point, which 

one would expect they 

would mention. Quickrelease 

nitrogen is much 

cheaper, which is reflected 

in their low prices. If they 

offer a free application 

when a customer takes full 

service, it is probably just 

cheap nitrogen and nothing 

else. 

Lawn-Tech services residential 

lawns, as well as 

businesses, school districts, 

football and baseball fields. 

For a no-cost, no-obligation 

quote for lawn and landscape 

needs, or to receive

fall core aeration, contact

helped grow Schaaf Window

range of quality windows 

and related products 

throughout the Chicago 

area. 

As many satisfied customers 

have come to 

know, Schaaf Window offers 

not only products and 

services on which customers 

can depend but also a 

long-lasting partnership 

with every one of its customers, 

both builders and 

homeowners alike. 

A family-owned business, 

Schaaf Window 

began with a focus on 

customer satisfaction. Today, 

it maintains that unwavering 

commitment to 

superior service, offering 

a wide range of products 

and services to builders, 

contractors and homeowners 

throughout the Chicago 

area. 

Schaaf Window is a onestop 

distributor of highquality 

windows (wood, 

wood clad, and vinyl), 

exterior doors (wood, fiberglass 

and steel, with 

many glass options), interior 

doors (hardwood, 

MDF and molded composite), 

skylights, millwork, 

mirrors, glass and shower 

doors. It backs up its products 

with years of technical 

experience and a courteous 

customer service staff. 

Schaaf offers installation 

of windows, doors 

and shower doors using 

its own employees, who 

are trained to the manufacturer’s 

specifications. 

They will meet customers 

at their homes or job sites 

for a no-cost estimate. 

From its facility in Tinley 

Park, Schaaf serves 

homeowners and a wide 

range of builders, from 

tract to custom to highend. 

Its 91,000-squarefoot 

facility is a home 

base for its employees to 

serve all of Chicagoland. 

They serve each customer 

personally, with a suite of 

professional resources to 

offer. 

As the business has continued 

to grow, so has the 

reach. Schaaf recently acquired 

Area Glass out of 

St. John, Indiana, which 

has allowed it to reach a 

whole new set of customers 

and expand the business 

capabilities. It also 

has moved onto many social 

media platforms, such 

as Facebook and Instagram, 

where it encourages 

interested homeowners to 

follow and check out the 

variety of products it has 

to offer.
