Don't Want to Move? Consider Remodeling: Steps to Make it Simple
Remodeling your bathroom can give you an in home spa.
Many people consider remodeling rooms in their home as a viable alternative to packing up their family and livelihood to move to a new home, although it’s possible you won’t always save money if you decide to do a remodel. Selecting an under-qualified contractor and inadequate management can lead to a number of problems including poor craftsmanship or financial stress. Having a general idea of what you want to accomplish with the remodeling — whether it’s additional living space, an updated design or a new layout — can help save money and time in the end.
Airoom Designer’s Q&A – Bill Sattler
Today we’d like to highlight Airoom Designer Bill Sattler. Bill has been with Airoom as an Architectural Designer for two and a half years. Prior to that, he was a Project Manager for a home builder where he handled planning, zoning changes, plan development and oversaw the construction process.
1. What is your favorite project you’ve worked on and why?
McCune kitchen before
It’s hard to pick a favorite because every single project has been a unique and exciting experience. If I had to narrow it down, I would say the McCune kitchen is one of my favorites. I am still in awe when I look at the before and after photos. The transformation was incredibly dramatic, and the family was thrilled with the results, which always make a project feel like a success.
Our Work Reflects Our Reputation
Just like everybody else, our reputation is very important. We take pride in being the best resource for your remodel in the Chicagoland area. Below is a recent customer testimonial about how our reputation preceded us in all aspects of their remodel.
I have to say that Kevin, Marv, Gina and Anna have all been wonderful. Gina was fabulous to work with in making selections for the bathrooms and kitchenette layout. She was also a great resource both in and out of the showroom. She was always ready to answer questions and give opinions about anything, especially the light fixtures. Marv was also a true asset to the project, his knowledge of the scope of the plans and being able to explain things in a language I would understand were invaluable. He was fair in making any adjustments to plans and budget, whether it was from a change in layout to selections and costs associated thereof.
Reclaim Your Space With a Custom Garage
Maybe you’ve turned your basement into a home gym, kid’s playroom or an extension of your house to include a high-end entertainment set-up and wet bar. Basements have been transformed from workrooms or extra storage to a key living space in today’s home. These days, building or remodeling your garage into a custom garage is a new way to combat the loss of space.
It used to be that the only function of a custom garage was to house a collection of cars, motorcycles and workspace. Recently, more home owners are seeking extra workspace for functionality and organization. Here are just a few key components to consider with a custom garage:

Making the Right Move
With the housing market in a current downturn, it may be tough to sell your home and move into a larger one to gain more living space. If you enjoy your current home but feel that space is becoming an issue, you have now another option — a home addition. Here at Airoom we have the expertise to integrate a new addition perfectly into your current home.
Karen and Tom decided to go the home addition route with the help of our design experts and sent us this letter about their experience:
Last month, Airoom finished a family addition and office remodeling project at our home in Naperville and we wanted to let you know how happy we are with the results.
After living in our home for almost six years, we debated over moving because our home seemed too small for our growing family. We especially liked the area surrounding our home and we were torn over the idea of leaving the neighborhood. In working with the great people at Airoom, we were able to create the additional living space needed and the rooms blend almost seamlessly with our homes existing structure. We have already received numerous compliments from our friends and family on the completed job.

1. What is your favorite project you’ve worked on and why?
My favorite projects are whole house expansions and renovations. I love to take an old house and make it into something new; to take a rundown, tired home and update it and bring in modern design and make it something special. The recent projects I’ve worked on like this would be a residence in Oak Brook and another in Winnetka.
