Lindholm Roofing helps make homes attractive 

Has your 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 

counter tops, hardwood floors, 

multiple fireplaces and updated 

bathrooms with the latest fixtures, 

and 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, your 

home makes a first impression, 

and it is the exterior that does it. 

It 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 door. 

Let’s face it, improving or 

maintaining the exterior of your 

home is not a priority for many of 

us. It’s not “sexy” or very bragworthy 

to mention the “beautiful” 

new roof you just got, especially 

when your friends keep 

going on and on about their new 

bathrooms or kitchens. 

The choices of different exterior 

materials for the middleclass 

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. You have likely 

heard horror stories of the window 

salesman who would not 

leave. Or perhaps you yourself 

were the victim of one whose 

aftershave or cologne lingered 

in your kitchen for days. Or you 

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 very utilitarian to make sure 

your gutters drain properly, the 

roof does not leak or your windows 

are not wasting your heating 

dollars. And yet, there is a 

certain majesty in the simplicity 

of an exterior project well 

done. You can feel it when you 

pull into your driveway that first 

week or two after its completion. 

Whether it is your pride as 

a conscientious homeowner or 

just the relief of having handled 

a long- standing problem, it is 

a good feeling. And if you are 

new to choosing a contractor, or 

completing a project of this sort, 

do not worry — you are in good 

hands. 

Lindholm Roofing desires to 

give you this feeling: to make 

your exterior remodeling or replacement 

project go right. The 

project coordinators that come 

out to visit and assist you 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 70 years. Because 

of this longevity, record 

of craftsmanship and attention to 

detail, as well as the company’s 

steadfast agreement to honor its 

warranties, Lindholm Roofing 

has earned the respect of many 

village building departments, 

leading insurance companies, 

and most importantly, tens of 

thousands of homeowners like 

yourself. 

Let Lindholm Roofing be the 

one to help with any of these 

projects, and your home will be 

sure to make a good first impression.

Granite & Marble Depot offers hundreds of species, great customer 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 them in its 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 maximize the 

experience. 

Its products: granite, 

marble, quartz, slate, travertine 

and limestone. 

The right price 

GMD’s all-inclusive 

value price gets cusomters 

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 stones and 

the simple ways to care for 

them. The family will feel 

very proud of the investment.

Midwest Orthopaedic 

Consultants give 

patients arthritis 

treatment options 

Q: What type of services 

does MOC offer for arthritis 

treatment? 

A: MOC offers convenient 

access to all of the essential 

orthopedic services 

under one roof, from MRI, 

X-rays and ultrasoundguided 

cortisone injections 

to ultrasound-guided gel 

injections, physical therapy, 

and, if necessary, the 

option to have full replacement 

surgery. The singlesite 

convenience offered 

by MOC also eliminates 

the need for outside referrals 

for additional tests and 

treatments. Once a patient 

arrives, everything can be 

handled in-house at MOC. 

Q: Are the doctors 

trained in orthopedics? 

A: All of the doctors 

at MOC are fellowshiptrained 

board-certified orthopedic 

specialists, who 

exhaust all non-invasive 

treatment options before 

discussing if surgical intervention 

is necessary. Once 

surgery is discussed, MOC 

acts as a team to generate a 

plan which will create the 

maximum potential for a 

positive outcome for each 

patient. This is not a onesize-fits-all 

approach for 

patients. MOC evaluates 

and creates individual, 

custom plans based on 

the unique situations and 

needs of each patient. 

Q: What separates MOC 

from institutes providing 

injections? 

A: MOC provides the 

convenience of accessing 

all possible orthopedic 

treatment options under 

one roof and the ability for 

patients to receive treatment 

by fellowship-trained 

board-certified orthopedic 

specialists. MOC is committed 

to developing individual 

treatment plans that 

are distinctly fit for each 

unique patient’s needs, 

with an absolute goal of 

maximizing outcomes. 

MOC wants patients to get 

back to their expected lifestyles 

as quickly – and as 

completely – as possible. 

Everything MOC does is 

based on those expectations 

– and results. 

Q: What type of imaging 

does Midwest Orthopaedic 

use for injections? 

A: MOC uses Ultrasound 

Guided Technology, 

which benefits the patient 

by exposing them to less 

radiation than X-rays. It 

also provides a more precise 

image that in turn allows 

for a more precise injection. 

The more precise 

the injection, the better the 

results for the patient. 

Q: Does MOC follow 

the American Academy 

of Orthopedic Surgeons 

guidelines for timing and 

dosing? 

A: MOC has adopted 

strict guidelines in order 

to ensure patients benefit 

from all of the research 

and the distinct guidelines 

established by AAOS. 

This alignment ensures 

patients are getting maximum 

outcomes that begin 

with establishing the correct 

timing and receiving 

the correct dosing levels.

Prusak Roofing helps get roofs ready for spring 

Prusak Roofing is a 

family-owned and operated 

company servicing 

the southwest suburbs 

since 1962. The company 

specializes in roofing, siding, 

soffit, fascia and gutters. 

The company slogan 

is “Quality over Quantity.” 

This means Prusak Roofing 

promises to deliver the best 

service and installation experience 

for customers and 

will not rush your job to 

move on to the next. Every 

scheduled job is given the 

same attention to detail as 

Prusak workers would give 

to their own homes. Prusak 

Roofing takes great pride 

in its work and customer 

satisfaction. The work is 

performed by roofing professionals 

who are trained 

in the latest installation 

techniques, and the crews 

are polite, professional and 

clean. 

Your home is your most 

important investment. Prusak 

Roofing understands 

this, and the company’s 

workers will care for your 

home as if it were their 

own. Your main contact 

will be one of the company 

owners, Jim or Mike 

Prusak, who will meet 

with you from the initial 

estimate and remain available 

to you throughout the 

duration of the job. 

Now that spring is here, 

your roof or siding may 

need attention. In this area, 

winter snow and ice and 

spring storms can cause 

damage to roofs and siding. 

Check for problems 

that developed or worsened 

over winter. Some 

things to look for to determine 

if your roof or siding 

needs attention are: 

Outside roof check 

• 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 coming in 

from outside 

What happens if there 

is a severe storm with 

winds and hail? You will 

want to check the outside 

of your home following a 

strong storm. Look up — 

are you missing shingles 

from your roof? Are the 

shingles lifted up? Do 

you have hail dings on 

your roof or siding? Are 

your gutters damaged? If 

you believe you may have 

damage, contact Prusak 

Roofing. Local, licensed 

roofers with a history of 

helping customers recover 

from storm damage will 

respond quickly, inspect 

your roof, and can help 

you work with your insurance 

company to insure 

your roof or siding is repaired. 

Prusak Roofing considers 

it a privilege to be able 

to serve customers and 

realizes the best recommendation 

the company 

receive is when customers 

refer Prusak to their 

friends and neighbors. 

Prusak Roofing is a Better 

Business Bureau Accredited 

Business with an 

A+ rating. The company 

is licensed, bonded and 

insured and also offers financing. 

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 company 

promise to stand behind 

its work. Prusak Roofing’s 

success has been built on 

these principles of quality 

over quantity.

Tinley Park Kitchen & Bath Shoppe 

continues to please local 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. 

I would also like to 

thank the carpentry team 

that was assigned to our 

project. These two individuals 

were always polite, 

on time and truly expert in 

their multiple fields. I cannot 

overstate how incredibly 

exceptional the cuts 

were in the crown molding, 

the cabinetry and the 

island. Attention to detail 

was present every day in 

their work. I truly enjoyed 

having them in our home. 

With the utmost sincerity 

and without hesitation, 

I would highly recommend 

Tinley Park Kitchen 

& Bath for any customer 

looking for a great design 

partner who has the capability 

of providing higherend 

cabinetry. The entire 

team was incredible.” 

Jeff and Sharon 

The goal of Tinley Park 

Kitchen & Bath Shoppe is 

to make all of their customers 

feel this way. They 

are committed to customer 

service. They love what 

they do and it shows. 

Thank you for your confidence 

and for voting us 

No. 1 again.

Lawn-Tech Ltd. has 

served customers for 

more than 30 years 

FLOORING 

FOR ALL 

PETS 

Lawn-Tech Ltd. is a 35-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 23 

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 pre-emergent 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 its program and others, whose 

brochures may only mention controlledrelease 

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. Quick-release 

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 10 percent off a 

spring or fall core aeration, contact Lawn- 

Tech at (708) 532-7411.

Evergreen Senior Living’s approach to care offers daily joy 

You are no longer alone in 

caring for your loved one with 

memory loss. Evergreen Senior 

Living in Orland Park offers The 

Legacy: Memory Support. The 

team of trained caregivers offers 

personalized attention and 

a unique approach to caring for 

seniors with memory loss. 

“It’s hard to be a 24-hour caregiver,” 

one resident’s daughter 

said. “[The team at Evergreen 

Senior Living has] learned to 

work with my mom. My relationship 

with her is fabulous 

now.” 

At The Legacy: Memory Support, 

each day gently unfolds, 

taking into account each senior’s 

preferences and comfort levels. 

The person-centered programming 

promotes engagement during 

a time that can feel incredibly 

isolating. Compassionate 

staff takes care of the day to day 

tasks so you can go back to your 

favorite role in your loved one’s 

life – family. 

The Legacy has been created 

to strategically cater to residents 

with memory loss. Every detail 

at The Legacy: Memory Care 

has been designed with your 

loved one in mind. 

Walking paths are designed in a 

continuous figure eight, so residents 

can always find their way 

to their destination. Customized 

memory boxes hang outside of 

apartments, helping residents 

know they are home. Bathrooms 

are set at an angle, so residents 

have a clear idea of how to enter 

and exit. Dining areas are built 

for smaller groups to ensure less 

noise and interruptions and more 

individualized attention. 

Evergreen Senior Living is a 

part of the Heritage Health family, 

one of Illinois’ leading senior 

healthcare providers. With 55 

years of successful care for seniors 

and 54 nursing home and 

assisted living centers across 

the state, Heritage Health’s 

memory care expertise is extensive. 

Throughout the years, 

the company has taken the time 

to refine approaches so seniors 

with memory care needs can be 

their best selves and families can 

have peace of mind. This unique 

approach is called Life Unrehearsed. 

Evergreen Senior Living in 

Orland Park is a community 

where independence thrives, and 

compassionate care is always 

present.

Phil & Amy motorcoach 

travel trips explore the US 

Phil & Amy are most 

known for their musical 

recordings, Chicagoland 

performances and recent 

string of sold-out shows at 

Starved Rock Lodge, since 

2016. But did you know 

that they have been offering 

travel tours for more than 

25 years? Yes, Phil & Amy 

offer deluxe motorcoach 

travel trips to destinations 

both near and far. With each 

trip, their “family” of followers 

continues to grow. 

Their travel motto is “Like 

Family, We Visit Authentic 

America.” Instead of piling 

into your family vehicle, 

you board a motorcoach for 

a one-day or more excursion 

to a fabulous destination. 

For overnights, one might 

think that spending all that 

time on a bus, even with 

a comfortable washroomequipped 

motorcoach, 

would be a bit much, but 

the motorcoach ride itself is 

part of the enjoyment of the 

overall experience. 

Travelers start the day 

with a safe travels prayer, 

snacks, games and fun. 

They watch movies and 

videos together and have 

quiet time, too. The camaraderie 

aboard the coach 

on a Phil & Amy trip is 

unbeatable and is a large 

part of why these trips are 

so popular. All on board 

may start out as strangers 

but they end up as “family” 

and friends. 

Upcoming Phil & Amy 

musical performances at 

Starved Rock include three 

days in both August and 

December. New this year is 

an overnight stay option at 

the lodge. The next one-day 

theater trip is set for “Lyric 

Opera”/”West Side Story.” 

Overnight travelers are 

looking forward to a June 

trip to Cape Cod. Later in 

June, St. Christopher Tours 

visits a favorite treasure, 

Mackinac Island, Mich., 

including the Mackinac 

Bridge, bikes, horses and 

carriages, famous fudge 

and the historic Grand 

Hotel. Upon arrival in the 

Upper Peninsula, enjoy a 

meal overlooking beautiful 

Lake Huron. On Mackinac 

the group enjoys a horse 

drawn carriage tour of the 

Island and then feasta at the 

famous Grand Hotel Luncheon 

Buffet. Spend the afternoon 

touring the Grand 

Hotel, enjoying views of 

The Straights from the 

world’s largest porch. With 

two nights, three days on 

the island, there is plenty of 

free time to shop, explore 

Main Street, ride a bike, 

tour historic Fort Mackinac 

or just find a spot to relax 

on the shoreline taking in 

the surrounding beauty. 

There is still time to 

join the April overnight 

journey down Route 66 

highlighting attractions 

through Illinois to the St. 

Louis, Mo. area. It even 

includes a visit to famous 

Route 66 stop Ted Drew’s 

Frozen Custard. Looking 

ahead to October, there is 

a three-day visit to Frankenmuth, 

Mich., a great 

Bavarian getaway. And in 

2020, there is a breathtaking 

scenic trip to the Grand 

Canyon and the Southwest 

Canyonlands. The everchanging 

landscapes of 

Canyon Country are something 

that everyone should 

witness in their lifetime. 

Each stop will leave you in 

awe of its unique beauty, 

which only the forces of 

nature can accomplish over 

centuries of time. 

Nothing brings family 

and friends together more 

than a motorcoach bus tour.

New beginnings for Interiors by Diane DeCero 

After five incredible 

years in Historic Downtown 

Lockport, Interiors 

by Diane De Cero has taken 

on a new direction that 

will no longer require a 

retail space. As of the end 

of April, the business will 

be relocating to a home 

office. Lockport and the 

surrounding communities 

have been very good 

to Interiors, and though 

the company will miss 

the beautiful space, nothing 

other than the address 

will be changing. Interiors 

will still offer all the same 

services as it has for the 

past 26 years. However, 

now the company is moving 

toward more kitchen 

and bath design, from 

full remolding to simple 

facelifts. Visit Interiors on 

Facebook and Instagram 

to see the development of 

some of the most current 

projects. The company 

prides itself on making 

the whole remolding process 

fun instead of stressful. 

Let Interiors’ talented 

team of professionals help 

you to reimagine your 

space. 

Enhancing the quality 

of life can sometimes 

be as simple as designing 

a beautiful and comfortable 

home that fulfills the 

needs of the family that 

lives there. Interior design 

is all about improving 

the physical aspects of 

the environment to reflect 

personal styles and functionality 

within various 

spaces. Whether the goal 

of the project is to incorporate 

clashing tastes of 

traditional and modern 

elements into a complete 

transitional look and feel, 

or whether it is rearranging 

or replacing furniture 

pieces to offer more storage 

space or accommodate 

a growing family, Interiors 

by Diane De Cero has 

done it all. Interiors has 

worked with all types of 

homeowners – those who 

have a very specific vision 

in mind and need assistance 

in making it a reality, 

as well as those who 

are not yet able to pinpoint 

what they are looking for 

and need Interiors to guide 

them through their many 

options. 

Regardless of the challenge, 

you can count on 

Interiors’ professional 

experience to help you 

achieve the exact look you 

have always been dreaming 

about. The choices 

in custom window treatments 

are truly endless – 

from options in draperies 

and valances to blinds, 

shades and shutters. Window 

treatments can be 

aesthetically pleasing and 

functional at the same 

time. Window treatments 

are the ball gowns of every 

room. Interiors by Diane 

De Cero takes pride in 

the company’s extensive 

knowledge and experience 

in assisting homeowners 

in making the 

most of their investment 

in custom window treatments. 

Interiors focuses 

on the goals for each room 

– whether it be adding a 

soft touch to the décor, allowing 

more natural light 

into the space or creating 

a desired level of privacy. 

Consequently, Interiors 

clients truly fall in love 

with the transformation 

that can be achieved within 

their home with custom 

window treatments. They 

gain new appreciation 

for the unique features of 

each room in their prop-

erty as they start to see 

their home in a whole new 

light. 

People who choose to 

invest in reupholstering are 

usually driven by the wish 

to preserve the quality of 

the furniture they already 

own or the need to hold 

on to the sentimental value 

associated with the different 

pieces in their home. In 

some cases, reupholstering 

can be costlier than replacing 

the furniture. But 

nowadays, it can be nearly 

impossible to obtain comparable 

quality at a reasonable 

cost. Widely available 

furniture has gone down 

in price but also in value. 

Consequently, even though 

it can be very easy to replace 

a dining room set 

or a sofa as far as initial 

cost, the return on investment 

will likely decrease 

exponentially with time 

as furniture made today is 

not usually meant to last. 

Interiors by Diane De Cero 

recommends considering 

reupholstering as a great 

option to make the most 

of the valuable pieces the 

homeowners already have 

in their possession. Most 

often, some professional 

assistance in preserving 

them can add many more 

years of use. 

Many people enjoy 

making their homes reflect 

their personal décor tastes; 

however, there are also 

those homeowners who 

absolutely dread the process 

out of fear of getting 

it all wrong. Regardless 

of the category our clients 

fit in, most have a difficult 

time navigating through 

the immense pool of 

choices when it comes to 

colors, fabrics, and styles. 

At Interiors by Diane De 

Cero, the goal is to meet 

and exceed our clients’ expectations 

in regard to professional 

home décor. Interiors 

dissects every room 

while keeping in mind the 

overall look and feel of 

the home to make every 

space inviting and comfortable. 

In the process, 

Interiors often inevitably 

helps homeowners fall in 

love with their property all 

over again. After all, home 

décor reflects the life of 

the family that lives in the 

home and it should tell a 

story of who you are. Let 

Interiors help you to write 

your story.

This philosophy has

As many satisfied customers

with a focus on customer 

satisfaction. Today, 

it maintains that unwavering

Schaaf Window is a onestop 

distributor of highquality 

windows (wood,

its products with years of

From its facility in Tinley

Its 91,000-square-foot facility 

is a home base for its 

employees to serve all of 

Chicagoland. The business 

serves each customer personally, 

with a suite of professional 

resources to offer. 

As the business has continued 

to grow, so has its 

reach. Schaaf recently acquired 

Area Glass Co. out 

of St. John, Indiana, which 

has allowed the company

of customers and expand 

the business’s capabilities.

New Lenox-based business works 

to make clothes dryers safer 

Hidden buildup in 

clothes dryer vent 

is fire hazard 

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 

U.S. 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 to $24 per 

month to energy costs. 

“Improper venting 

causes problems, as well,” 

he 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 accordiontype 

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 & 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 your dryer hot 

to the touch while running. 

• There’s 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 un-kinked and having 

the dryer exhaust duct 

cleaned regularly. Dryer 

manufacturers recommend 

inspection and cleaning at 

least annually. 

Something to watch for 

in spring is that 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 your clothes dryer 

run when you are out of the 

house or asleep.
