After our initial meeting, where I discussed what I wanted to complete during my remodel project, Christine began helping me to specifically define what I wanted to accomplish. We decided on a color scheme and began to pick out flooring, paint, trim and crown molding, countertops, tile and sinks. We also started choosing fabrics for my custom furniture and custom window treatments. Christine provided me with several different options to choose from for each part of this project. If I didn't find something from her samples that I was happy with she worked tirelessly to find new options for me. Once decisions were made Christine and I signed a contract. Christine and I met with each sub-contractor and the specific details of my project were discussed. The actual work began within 1-2 weeks after our contract was signed. My project began on 3/18/13 and was completed by 4/5/13. I was given a schedule by Christine and it specified who and what work was going to be completed each day. During this time my old hardwood flooring was removed, new hardwood flooring was installed throughout my kitchen, dining room and living room and powder room, all my interior walls were painted with 2 coates of paint, new trim was installed throughtout my home and crown molding was installed in my living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and master bath. Along with this new, carpeting was installed in my family room, bedrooms, stairs and hallways, a tile backsplash was installed in my kitchen along with new granite countertops and a new sink. New balusters were installed in my staircase and 2 new tvs were mounted, one in my living room and one in my master bedroom and a new chandelier was hung in my dining room. Each sub-contractor was pleasant, respectful and easy to work with. At the end of each day work areas were cleaned. I choose to remain in my home throughout much of this project and accommodations were made for not only me but also my pets, In the weeks that followed, new living room and master bedroom furniture was delivered, new window treatments were installed in my living room, kitchen, master bedroom and guest bedroom. Christine was available each day for any questions or concerns and usually stopped by my home to see the completed work. Christine is very professional and understands what is needed for a first rate remodel project. I am delighted with the results of my remodel project. My home is now warm comfortable and inviting. I would recommend Christine to any of my friends or family for any size remodel project. The dedication and knowledge Christine and A Classic Approach bring to home remodeling are above all else.
Description of Work: I first met Christine about a year ago when I decided I wanted to do some remodeling in my home. I had a few ideas about what I wanted to change and a few color ideas. I wanted my interior house painted, new crown molding and trim throughout my house, a tile backsplash, new sink and countertops in my kitchen, new hardwood floors in my living room, dining room, kitchen and powder room. Also new sink and vanity in my powder room. I also updated my staircase and recarpeted my hallway, bedrooms and lower family room. Christine worked closely with me and within a few visits we had our plan to work from. She was very respectful of my budget and the time constraints that I was working under. She help me coordinate all the paint colors, helped me pick-out me flooring, both hardwood and carpet. She often visited the Design Center to returning with different fabric samples to help me find exactly the colors and fabrics that I was looking for. I replaced several pieces of furniture and she had wonderful suggestions for that. Once out plan was made she invited in her team of sub-contractors to my home. I met with a carpenter, a floor and tile specialist, a painter, an electrician and a plumber. A contract was drawn up and it identified what was going to be accomplished and by whom. She coordinated and scheduled all the work and my redecorat project began within 6-7 weeks of our first visit. She was always available throughout my project and often stopped by daily to check the progress and check in with me to see if I had any concerns or questions. Christine is very familiar with all that needs to happen for a first rate remodel project and it was no surprise to me that it all went smoothly. Christine has been available since my project was completed to help with adding decorative touches to my home. I am delighted with the way my new home looks and feels. It's now warm and inviting and Christine helped to make this happen. She is truely a professional at what she does and works hard to make sure her clients are happy also. I would recommend Christine to any of my friends for any project. The dedication and knowledge that she brings to home remodeling is above all else.

Response from A Classic Approach Inc
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to compliment and confirm the time and work I contributed to designing and organizing your project. It was such a delight working with you and having the opportunity to design and coordinate such a lovely project from its creation to completion.

We had been thinking of updating our kitchen area for some time. After making the decision to move to the next step we contacted several remodeling contractors in our area. We soon found that we needed to have a solid vision of the design concept for our kitchen. The contractors had many examples of their work and after looking at all of the options with cabinetry, tiles flooring, lighting, ceramics,etc., we felt that we needed help. The contractors very open to our suggestions and offered what they felt were current trends but again we were in the position of putting it all together. We looked at hiring a designer who would layout a plan and then hire a contractor to remodel to that plan. Ideally the designer and the contractor would work together on the project. We found that combination in Christine Stoniecki's a "Classic Approach" company. Christine brought us several design concepts from flooring to lighting that fit our ideas. She not only designed the areas but managed the workers and time lines of all of the trades involved in the project. All of the time lines set out in the initial agreement were met as well as the costs associated with the project. We are very pleased with the results and would look to Christine for future projects.
Description of Work: We contracted for a complete remodel of our kitchen area. This included replacing the cabinetry, sink, appliances, replacing tiles, exhaust fan, electrical update, removing pantry, re-purposing space, updating lighting, replacing an island,refinishing flooring, and extending flooring into an adjacent family room, updating our powder room, updating the laundry room, and painting.

Christine Stoenecki was the lead on our recent bathroom remodeling of the children's 2 bathrooms. At the time, she was employed by another remodeling company. She met with us to discuss design options including layout, products, pricing and scheduling. She was very aware of pricing constraints and concerns. She oversaw the process and the sub contractors that were used for the specific trades that were used. She provided unique and creative design options and products. The project went very well. We were extremely pleased with the final results. In the past, Christine has played a major role in our kitchen, master bath, master bedroom and lower level design, construction and decorating. We will definite use her for future home remodeling projects.
Description of Work: We have used the services of Christine Stoenicki of A Classic Approach for 22 years. We followed her wherever she worked throughout her career. She helped with the initial interior design of our custom home in S. Barrington in 1988. More recently, she worked with us designing and constructing our master bath, master bedroom, kitchen, lower level and son's bath. She helped with the initial design, decorating, and the general construction issues and contractors. She offers creative, attractive and realistic designs that are admired by friends and family. Most of her clients have come from happy referral clients. She is timely, thorough and conscientious. She is very likable and easy to work with on any project. She truly takes pride in her work and follows each job until completion. I highly recommend her for any home remodeling or decorating project.
