Sheri Sauer of La Grange Park is confident that now is a fine time to be opening her new business.

Despite the economy, or perhaps partly because of it, Sauer is banking on people remodeling their kitchens and coming to her for ideas, expertise, great customer service and a huge selection of kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. Sauer’s new enterprise, TrueSource Cabinets, is open at 6935 Joliet Road, Indian Head Park.

“It’s a challenging time to open the business, but also a good time,” she said. “People are still going to do their kitchens and bathrooms,” she said adding that because she offers a low price guarantee, she’s in a good position to be successful.

Sauer said that TrueSource Cabinets, which has its home office in Atlanta, offers an extensive product line including Kraftmaid, Kemper, Kitchen Craft, Omega/Dynasty and JSI. Her line, she said, accommodates any budget.

Sauer said she sells directly to homeowners, as well as to builders and contractors. Because of the economy, many people are either choosing to or forced to stay in their homes when they might otherwise be planning a move.

“If they’re staying where they are at, they still want the kitchen or bath of their dreams,” she said.

People who are facing a move and are putting their houses on the market, she added, often have to update their kitchens and baths to make their houses marketable.

“Kitchens and baths are what will sell the house best. The kitchen is where people live,” she said adding that an updated kitchen ensures a return on investment when the house does sell.

Sauer said she also works with new construction. She said that TrueSource Cabinets will provide the “best lead time on domestic cabinets for on-site delivery. I also offer free design service and the guaranteed lowest price with cabinet purchase.”
