Nicole Stern – Office Manager / Color and Design Consultant
Nicole, along with her husband Brian, opened Fresh Coat of Vernon Hills in December of 2023. If you call in to the office, there’s a good chance you will hear her voice and she’ll help schedule your free estimate or answer any questions you may have. When not working, you can find Nicole spending time with her husband, three kids, and two pups – most likely at one of the kids’ sporting events. If a spare moment is to be had, she loves to binge HGTV and feed her love for interior design. In addition to assuring that the office is ran smoothly, Nicole is Fresh Coat’s color consultant and takes pride in helping our customers choose exactly the right shade to attain the look and feel they are aiming to achieve. Beautifying spaces is her passion.
