It's not every day that you reconstruct your kitchen or bathroom, so when you make that decision, you want to do it right. The professionals at Hans' Kitchens & Baths have staked their reputations on job after job, making both their clients and themselves proud.

STAFF PHOTOS BY JOE SARNO

Hans' Kitchens & Baths is a specialized remodeling and cabinet company that customers have been trusting for over 60 years. Pictured here are business partners Don Fichtler and Glenn Corrigan, president of Hans' Kitchens.

The company specializes in kitchen and bath design and remodeling. It is located on 10 Colfax Ave. Established in 1948, the store is lined with the latest cabinets of different styles and color options, modeled with countertops and faucet fixtures, and makes it easy for homeowners to imagine the same setup inside their homes.

"We do not mislead people," said Hans' Kitchens & Baths President Glenn Corrigan. "We know our business well and know what it takes to get jobs completed in a timely manner with the right materials."

Corrigan, who partners with his brother-in-law Don Fichtler, said the original "Hans" is his father-in-law.

Hans Fichtler, C.K.D., founded the business, and according to HansKitchens.com, he was dedicated to providing quality craftsmanship and making a name for himself in the community where he planned to raise his family. His family went on to carry out his dedication to high quality services and products. Corrigan said he has been working in construction since college, so becoming involved in the family business was "an easy fit."

"We've seen many new cabinet shops opening that cater to the new consumer who simply shops for the lowest price," Corrigan said. "We've stuck to our guns over the years and not given in to imported cabinetry that doesn't last long and inevitably breaks down."

All of the products that Hans' offers to its customers are made in America unlike other companies which offer foreign products of inferior quality. According to Corrigan, the cabinets from Asia and Europe only come with a one to two year warranty and usually start breaking down in that time frame as opposed to his American-made cabinets that come with a lifetime warranty. He explained that Chinese cabinet styles are always changing, so that when customers call him asking to replace or fix them, he's is unable to do so because that style has already been discontinued.

"We really try to promote the fact that the products are better, last longer, and look better."

Roof

The William Allen High School gymnasium floor will have to be replaced due to water damage sustained while the roof there was being repaired this summer.

The district will have to pay $295,000 for an entirely new floor after heavy rains and winds led to water infiltration through the new roof, ruining the gymnasium floor.

That means sports events and practices will have to be held at other schools, and gym classes will be moved to other portions of the building, said Director of Facilities Services Bob Sperling Jr.

"I think it goes without saying it'll be inconvenient," said Superintendent Russell Mayo. "It's certainly not an ideal situation, but we can accommodate it."

The new floors will not be finished until the end of October.

Water seeped through the roof above the gymnasium when the contractor doing the work there failed to properly shore up the roof in two separate locations, Sperling said.

The boards of the floor now appear wavy, Sperling said, and the damage was so extensive it cannot be repaired without leaving large patches on the floor.

"You can't use it for basketball, and you can't use it for gym," he said. "It would be a safety hazard."

The district will likely have to pay for the new floor, but will then seek reimbursement from the company that had been doing the roofing work: the Philadelphia-based Mike Kobithen Roofing.

That company had been installing a $392,000 new roof above the gymnasium, but the district originally only planned to spend about $50,000 for repairs to the 20-year-old gym floor, officials said.

BRAGGS School starts Monday with new roofing and windows six months after Braggs voters agreed to fund them.

Braggs Superintendent Mike Broyles said roof replacement over the main classroom buildings was completed July 12 and the new steel frame windows and Corian window panes were installed Aug. 1. The roof over the main gym also was repaired over the summer, he said.

The windows and roofing were part of a $635,000 bond issue Braggs voters approved Feb. 12. The bond issue also included replacing roofs over the cafeteria and some adjoining classrooms, but those roofs are to be replaced over Christmas break or next summer, Broyles said.

Broyles said he had been optimistic about finishing most of the projects before the 2013 school year started, but he wanted to be sure.

Thats why we pushed the start of school back two weeks, he said, explaining that the Board of Education voted in April to start school Aug. 19 instead of Aug. 7.

Preparation before the bond issue also helped.

We had already talked about how the project was supposed to look like, Broyles said. We were able to start the project May 28. We had our specs ready for the roofing and our specs ready for the windows.

The only delay has been getting window blinds delivered, he said.

The schools main building dates to 1939 and had not been renovated since the 1970s. The previous classroom windows were single pane, providing little insulation.

In the summer time, it was so hot in here, you couldnt stand it, said school secretary Sue Berryhill. The old windows were really cold in the winter time, you could feel winter coming through them.

The 43-year-old Hemmens Cultural Center in Elgin needs new boilers, which are expected to cost the city $273,000. And the Elgin Symphony Orchestra owes the city more than $300,000 in back rent for use of the facility. | Sun-Times Media File

ELGIN A city council vote to pay to replace three boilers at the Hemmens Cultural Center led to heated rhetoric about the Elgin Symphony Orchestras lingering debt to the city.

The council Wednesday night unanimously approved a contract with F.H. Paschen for the new boilers in the amount of $273,232. According to supporting material for the meeting, earlier this summer staff found the that one of three 18-year-old boilers had failed beyond repair and the other two were in poor condition.

This is a distasteful bid that I have to support, Councilman John Prigge said.

Prigge said the bill for the replacement boilers should be sent to the ESO. He noted that the money being used is coming from the parks and recreation budget and that it could go to other worthy projects.

I hate being forced to play into this insanity, and I hate myself for supporting this, Prigge said.

The symphony owes the city more than $300,000 in back rent for its use of the 44-year-old Hemmens. The ESOs finances and financial arrangement with the city have been discussed at past council sessions dating back to January and are set to be brought up again either in two weeks or at the first council meeting in September.
