Siding contractors in Naperville, Opal Enterprises, recently began work on a large residential renovation project. The project will replace windows and house siding in Wheaton for Stream Garden Villas.

NAPERVILLE, IL — Opal Enterprises, siding contractors in Naperville and the surrounding areas, recently began a large residential renovation project for Stream Garden Villas in Wheaton, IL.

The project spans 95 different individual residences, replacing over 200,000 square feet of James Hardie Fiber Cement siding and installing new Andersen windows for some units. The Home Owners Association chose three different James Hardie colors for the Stream Garden Villas: Timber Bark, Monterey Taupe and Autumn Tan and each home will be trimmed with Arctic White. The new siding will replace old and rotted cedar siding, which means each of the homes will receive a complete facelift. The work began in January and is scheduled for completion in May, weather permitting.

Seven contractors, including Opal Enterprises, competed for the rights to replace the windows and house siding in Wheaton for Stream Garden Villas. Opal Enterprises was selected to move on to the final step in the selection process and was ultimately chosen because of the value it could provide to the property management company and the homeowners.

“We are really happy to obtain such a large James Hardie job in our backyard of Wheaton. We had many employees working hard to ensure the association was sure that Opal was the best siding company for the project. The association picked out some great Hardie colors and the project is going to look great for a long, long time,” said Tommy Shallcross, Opal Enterprises’ Sales Manager and Lead Estimator for the Stream Garden Villas project (http://www.opalenterprises.net/).

In addition to house siding and window replacement in Wheaton, Opal Enterprises can handle a number of other exterior home remodeling projects. These include exterior door replacement, roofing replacement and new gutter installation. The company has been serving residents of Western Chicagoland for more than 10 years. Opal Enterprises focuses on providing clients with some of the best products in the industry, including James Hardie Fiber Cement siding, GAF roofing and Andersen windows, which means customers can count on their home looking great for years to come.

“As a team member of Opal Enterprises, Inc. I am focusing on providing excellent value, product and experiences to our customers. Utilizing such core values as professionalism, candor/edge, customer satisfaction, public responsibility and results, I am convinced the Streams Gardens Villas project will be an absolute success for the residents, as well as for Opal Enterprises,” said Shem Grafczynski, Project Manager for Opal Enterprises.

About Opal Enterprises: Opal Enterprises (http://www.opalenterprises.net/) is a remodeling company that is family owned and operated with the partnership of some very enriching employees. They have been installing windows, siding, and roofs for over 10 years. Located in Naperville, they are proud to serve the western suburbs of Chicago. Their niche is specific to better serve the homeowner in the needs of replacements and improvements of roofing windows, doors, gutters and house siding in Lisle.

Their focus is for their customers to have a pleasant experience while they tend to the end result of energy efficient beauty.

Opal Enterprises, siding contractors in Naperville, has received the Angie’s List Super Service Award for the third year in a row. The company can also handle sliding door installation in Lisle and other exterior home remodeling services.

NAPERVILLE, IL — Opal Enterprises, a company that can handle sliding door installation in Lisle, window replacement in Hinsdale and other exterior home remodeling projects in the surrounding area, was recently awarded the ‘Angie’s List Super Service Award’ for the third year in a row.

The award is given to just 5% of the businesses listed on Angie’s List. To be eligible, companies like Opal Enterprises need to maintain a superior service rating from customers who have registered on the Angie’s List website. Customers can rate their experience with service providers to help others choose which company is best for their project requirements.

“We’ve been advertising on Angie’s List for three years now and we’re very excited that we’ve received their Super Service award all three years. Although advertising on Angie’s List isn’t cheap, we’ve found that it’s a valuable source of potential customers. These people might have been burned by a poor contracting experience, or maybe learned the hard way that a cheaply priced contractor might produce negative results. Now this homeowner wants to learn from their neighborhood peers about the good and the bad contractors out there. Our ideal customer is the picky, careful to attend to details type of customer! Everyone here at Opal Enterprises excels at customer service and we think it shows!” said Tara D. Opalski, Marketing Manager for Opal Enterprises (http://www.opalenterprises.net/).

Opal Enterprises has 55 reports with Angie’s List and has an overall ‘A’ rating because 47 of those reports are an A. Although Opal Enterprises are well known as siding contractors in Naperville, the company has positive reports for window, roofing, gutters and door installations, as well as other types of exterior remodeling services. However, the company does not pamper Angie’s List customers. Every job is given the same type of excellent customer service and Opal Enterprises realizes that any customer could sign up and leave a review on Angie’s List at any time.

“Once in a while we get a customer who has never contracted for professional remodeling. These are the hardest types of customers to please because they do not yet have a basis of comparison of what a good vs. bad contracting project might entail. When we get ‘A’ reports from these customers, it’s an exhilarating feeling! As we grow as a company, we expect to get a few unhappy customers, simply based on the fact that you cannot please everyone that we encounter, but you better believe we try very hard to please each customer we earn!” said Opalski.

Naperville, IL—Design & Promote, a Naperville Internet marketing firm focused on Web Design and Search Engine Optimization, donated website design and hosting for Naperville Chamber TEAM B2B’s 3^rd Annual Bags Tournament to benefit nonprofit organization KidsMatter. The tournament this year raised over $10,000, which is more than double the funds accumulated last year.

TEAM B2B is a Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce leads group that focuses on business-to-business relationships. This was their third year hosting the Bags Tournament, but this was the first year the event had its very own website.

“Since I was a sponsor at last year’s event I realized the challenges TEAM B2B was having for their registrants. I wanted to make the process smoother by building a website which linked to online registration for both sponsors and players. This was able to give them the ability to not only register for the event but they were also able to upload company logos, send email invitations and more,” said Bruce Jones, owner of Design & Promote.

The tournament was held in Naperville on Saturday, October 22^nd and KidsMatter’s Executive Director Idalynn Wenhold was present for the event.

“KidsMatter is so grateful to Design & Promote for the amazing website and registration process they created for the Team B2B Bags Tournament. The turnout was twice the size of last year and I believe a lot of that should be credited to the tournament’s website,’ said Idalynn.

Chicago SEO firm, Design & Promote is no stranger to assisting the not-for-profit world. Last year the company offered Naperville web design at a nearly fifty-percent discount to all nonprofit organizations in the Chicago area.

“After years of working in the Internet field I know how important it is for a company or organization to have a well presented and functional website. It is a great method to get your message out there and increase exposure. Creating a website for a fundraising event does just the same, and increased exposure will inevitably lead to a more successful turnout,” Jones said.

The 3^rd Annual Bags Tournament had a total of 65 bags team compete, 17 teams in the competitive bracket and 48 in the social. Some of the big winners include:

• Competitive Bracket Winners:  Team Name: Role Models- Dave Sutton & Chris Novy

So many other contractors offer clients $500 off of their project. However, the homeowners we talk to don’t even realize they’re getting any money off since this is taken off their proposal before they ever pay a cent towards their project. Instead, we want our iPad2 to be a tangible thank you for choosing Opal Enterprises as their exterior remodeler!” said Tara D.
