Lake Cook Exteriors Inc. opened our doors in 1987 here in Palatine, IL. As local long-time residents of Palatine, we have enjoyed years of providing exterior remodeling solutions to homeowners all around the area. We want to extend our thanks and gratitude to all of our customers over the years.
Bill Sheetz, President
Bill founded Lake Cook Exteriors Inc in 1987. However, he began in the trades as a siding installer for a contractor where he gained his expertise in exterior remodeling. Bill was promoted into a Sales position in 1978 where he found his “nitch” helping homeowners find solutions to their remodeling needs. Then in 1987, Bill along with his wife, Karen, partnered up in their joint venture called Lake Cook Exteriors. The family owned business has now expanded when their son, Nolan Sheetz, joined the staff in 2014 with plans to carry on Lake Cook Exteriors Inc. Bill is an avid sports fan, enjoys spending time with family and traveling.
Karen Sheetz, General Manager
Karen runs the internal office operations which involve everything from the accounting, marketing and technology needs. Karen has been at Lake Cook Exteriors since day one. She is extremely hands-on and constantly involved in brainstorming, learning, and teaching skills to the staff required to keep small businesses up-to-date in operations and especially customer’s needs. Bill and Karen live downtown Palatine and have two grown children and one grandson: Nolan and Kara and Ray. Karen enjoys many outdoor activities, gardening, fiber arts, travel and entertaining.
