Meet the faces behind the Opal Exteriors team. Family owned and operated, serving Chicagoland for 23 Years.
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 Exteriors!
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 Exteriors 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.

You’ll feel right at home with Opal Exteriors by your side! We work one-on-one with you to craft a remodeling experience tailored to your needs and wants. You and your home deserve the remodeling experience with beautiful lasting results and plenty of smiles. Discover the Opal experience!
No matter what type of remodeling project we perform for you, we understand that it was the result of your due consideration and diligent research. That’s why we have established a careful process that ensures you receive exactly the top-notch products and installation service you expect.

Opal is a leader in destroying the stereotype of a typical contractor. We care about you, we care about your project, and we care about your home. We stand by our work and make sure that there is open communication every step of the way. Homeowners aren’t just a price tag to Opal, it is a relationship fostered on mutual respect and trust!
The Kolbe Ultra Series Tilt-Turn window gives the homeowner two different options with European hardware for a hinged window and a tilted window. I think it is a really slick and clever product.
I get to talk to people every day to help get their home a little closer to being their dream home. And my amazing co-workers who are always there with an answer and a smile.
