Just like every good home should, Opal started with a strong foundation. Our foundation began in 2003 with founders, Voytek Opalski and Tara Dawn. With their industry expertise, leadership skills and commitment to their craft, they set out to build an exterior remodeling enterprise, Opal Enterprises!
Opal began with an approach to remodeling centered around teamwork, expert craftsmanship, high-quality building materials, and customer satisfaction. This approach was paramount to our success as we gained new customers through referrals, building our reputation as one of the top contractors in the area.
Today, Opal has an outstanding team that’s dedicated to delivering the same wonderful remodeling experience that built it. Opal Enterprises is a local, family-owned and -operated company improving home in the west and southwest suburbs of Chicagoland. Our focus is on residential exterior renovation with a specialty in curb appeal upgrades, durability, and green remodeling.
