"I know my clientele",
says Frank Zanotti, who learned to cut marble at his grandfathers knee in Italy, and who has been passing down the art since he arrived in Chicago from Modena in 1959. "Our North Shore clients are sophisticated and well traveled. They know and understand what good quality and workmanship is. Therefore I must pick the best and the finest materials from all over the world, whether stones or ceramic tiles, to satisfy their desires."

Frank Zanotti started his business with a cousin helping him as an installer. Here you will find a selection like no where else. He also fabricates counters, vanity tops, and fireplaces, etc. from natural marbles, granite and limestone.

"Todays stone is very popular and competitively priced compared to synthetic materials. This is why you see many large, beautiful homes in the surrounding areas with marble designer tile in the bath and marble slab counter tops to match in color and design.

One needs to be a craftsman to work with marble, a natural product and subject to many variations. We just don't take the tiles out of the box at random when we are installing marble. We carefully select the tiles. Zanotti Tile in Highwood imports marbles granite and ceramic tiles from Italy, Spain, Brazil and Portugal."

"I am proud about having the kind of control I have over the installation and fabrication of stones." Zanotti says. "It pleases me to see the blending and matching of the marble tile and slab on the counter tops, and I train my apprentices in the typically fine stone work that my grandfather and father taught me. When your clientele is as knowledgeable as ours is, you go beyond their expectations, giving it our best.."

Dear Frank,

My wife and I send our sincere thanks to you and your workers for the wonderful remodeling jobs they did to our North Shore Evanston house. The work on three bathrooms began on June 5, 2002 and was finished by the end of October, 2002. During those days Miguel worked himself and supervised the work of Ronnie and Luis and Jose and several others day after day, and the end result is three bathrooms that are beautiful, functional, and just what we wanted.

A master bath, built in 1986, was completely altered as were a bath from 1941 and an original bath from 1928. The work involved a total gutting of every room with blocking up of two windows, new drywall and cement drywall for the showers, concrete base for the showers, tile on floors and walls, plus installation of all new plumbing and electric lines and appliances.

What was especially satisfying about the work that Miguel did was his attitude toward it all: he was interested, responsible, talented, personable, helpful, no problem was too hard for him to solve–and anything that was done that for some reason needed to be redone, he did it, without question or complaint. Miguel was a true gentleman to work with and was a real model of a professional for his co-workers. It was a pleasure to be with him.

We were lucky to find you–we just picked your ad from the yellow pages, called you, and you immediately sent faxes of letters praising your work. Miguel was at our house the next day to look at what we needed done and sent us an estimate the next day. Other estimates we got for this work were higher, but I do not believe that any company could have done a better job, no matter what they charge. Once my wife and I began spreading the word among our friends about the high quality of your work, we found others who had turned to you in the past and had been happy.

Please feel free to use our name as a reference and our bathrooms as models for your excellent work.

Thanking you, every day.

C. and M. Crotty
