Dorman Home Remodeling, owned and operated by CJ Dorman along with his collaborator in chief Donna Dorman, has been successful in making a great first impression time and time again, at their Frederick, Maryland, location. “Our showroom sets us apart from other remodelers and adds tremendous value to our clients,” said Donna Dorman. “Through our showroom, which we opened in 2012, we have the unique ability to turn the intangible into the tangible by helping our clients with their design and finish selections.” This advantage was illustrated in 2013, when Dorman Home Remodeling received the “Best Showroom” award from the Frederick County Builders Industry Association. “As a full-service remodeling company, we are skilled in the design and construction of all aspects of home remodeling,” said Dorman. Specializing in a long list of homeowner must-haves, the company focuses on “high-quality residential additions, kitchen and bath remodeling, whole house remodels, finished basements, large decks,

porches, home offices, and custom homes.” Dorman Home Remodeling prides itself on its ability to complete any home remodeling project to a high quality, working with tradespeople who share the same values. “Recognizing that remodeling one’s home can be a daunting process, our design and selection center was built to help our homeowners make sense out of the options — offering clear choices and direction while providing a comfortable place to talk remodeling,” Dorman said. “Clients are welcome to peruse literature, view samples of all remodeling products both interior and exterior, and see and feel everything from fixtures to flooring. Our display kitchens, bath, living room, and exteriors inspire imaginations and help bring our clients’ remodeling dreams to life.” Dorman Home Remodeling had the freedom to customize the showroom to suit its needs, as well as the needs of its clients. “As remodelers and builders, we were able to design and outfit the space using our own resources,” said Dorman, noting that “St. John Properties was always ready to help,

should the need have arisen.” Along with the showroom that demonstrates the variety of product options available to clients, an open- concept office space for team members was essential for the business as well, housing office cubbies and an employee kitchen. Finally, warehouse space offers a home for Dorman Home Remodeling’s production office and provides storage for tools, supplies and equipment. Designing the perfect commercial space was a must for Dorman Home Remodeling, but the location and the ease of working with St. John Properties have been positives as well. “The location was important to us, as well as the flexible process in working through the initial lease,” said Dorman. “St. John Properties representatives have always been amicable, as well as professional. We love that they keep in contact with us throughout the year, and they are very responsible in resolving any issues that may arise.” With St. John Properties following through on any necessary maintenance, Dorman Home Remodeling can focus on making their clients’ renovation dreams come true.
