FOUNDER OF WEST DuPAGE GRANITE, CABINETRY & FLOORING – 5,000 SQ FT SHOWROOM
BATAVIA–With a background in construction and interior design, owner Catherine Sanzeri saw a need for affordable quality cabinetry and kitchen design, so she opened West DuPage Cabinets and Granite in 1997, and has been leading the market as a custom home builder since.
Her talented team continues to fill a niche in the west suburban home design marketplace by providing a full range of products to fit every budget while providing lifestyle-focused designs with top industry designers. As a proud member of the NKBA and KCMA, this women-owned establishment guarantees absolute satisfaction.
“I just love what I do, so every day is a dream for me,” Catherine says.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
The talented design team will visit your home for a consultation, take measurements and look at the lifestyle components of the home and family; then create a custom masterpiece, incorporating the latest products that meet the specific needs of each homeowner.
The entire process is coordinated by West DuPage Cabinets & Granite providing total satisfaction and the end result is a stress-free process from design to build, including designer privilege discounts on appliances and fixtures.
INDUSTRY TRENDS
Catherine noted that the industry is always changing with future trends leaning towards larger islands, coffee bars and entertainment spaces, including a wine refrigerator in the kitchen and more features to accommodate larger groups. She also says that natural woods and stains are trending for 2023.
LEADING THE WAY
One of Catherine’s most cherished projects was when her team designed and built a first floor master suite for a client whose husband had MS and could no longer walk up the stairs.
“The improved quality of both of their lives was a gift to see!” shared Catherine.
Stories like this are why the company has received many awards and accolades through the years including Best of the Best in Kitchen and Bath Remodeling 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, in addition to Glancer Magazine’s ‘Best of the Best’ Kitchen Designer for Kane County in 2021.
