Aqua Pools is a family-owned company that has been transforming backyards since 1978 with custom vinyl and fiberglass pools designed to fit each family’s lifestyle. What began as a love for hands-on work has grown into a passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces where memories are made. Their process emphasizes attention to detail and a smooth experience from the initial design conversation to the final installation.

Families consistently praise the Aqua Family experience — the honest communication, long-term service, and craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Aqua Pools has seen remarkable growth in Naperville and East Highlands, fueled by referrals and returning clients who trust their work year after year.

Their best advice for prospective pool owners is to consider how they want the space to function — relaxation, entertaining, fitness, or all of the above — then partner with a builder who can bring that vision to life. The owner remains inspired by time spent in his own backyard pool, testing ideas that ultimately enhance the designs created for their customers.

For Dan Firks, real estate is about more than buying or selling a home — it’s about helping families build a life and connect to a community they truly love. After more than 30 years in Naperville, Dan has guided countless clients through neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle decisions with deep insight into what makes this area special. Closings are memorable, but the real joy comes from the relationships that last long after the keys are handed over.

Dan’s approach is rooted in treating every client like family and every home as if it were his own. Known for concierge-level service, strong community ties, and a commitment to doing things the right way, he brings full support from Naperville.com, Living in Naperville, his events and network, and Coldwell Banker’s global reach. His favorite experiences include helping families return to East Highlands after growing up here.

Outside of work, Dan enjoys Naperville’s lifestyle with family, friends, and his Giant Schnauzer Valentino—often found on the Riverwalk or at Springbrook Dog Park. His service extends to Loaves & Fishes, Rotary, and community storytelling through his YouTube channel, Living in Naperville.

Anthony and his family have called East Highlands home since 2006, and as both a neighbor and an insurance broker, he brings genuine community connection to Trunnell Insurance Services. Introduced to the industry while helping at his father’s small Iowa agency, he now specializes in home, auto, commercial, and life insurance with a practical, personal approach.

Trunnell stands apart as an independent broker — offering rates and coverage options from multiple top carriers instead of only one. Anthony appreciates that East Highlands homeowners often seek the right protection, not just the lowest price. His biggest advice is to avoid rushing into claims: assess damage, gather repair estimates, and speak with your broker privately to protect your long-term rates.

Outside the office, Anthony enjoys working out, traveling, reading, playing soccer, and spending time with his wife Karen and their children, Summer and Sam. He loves running into neighbors downtown and values the trust families place in him to help protect what matters most.

Best Buy Interior Finishes has been a Naperville remodeling staple since 1992, growing from carpet sales in a van to a full-service showroom featuring premium flooring, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, tile, and complete kitchen remodels. As proud East Highlands residents, the owners have contributed greatly to the community and completed many neighborhood projects. Their reputation is reflected in the newly built Chicago Ave corner home, whose builders insisted on using Best Buy, saying they “only use Best Buy for every home they’ve ever owned” because of their consistent, exceptional craftsmanship.

With the launch of Mart Design Co, the company’s design and remodeling division, they’re expanding their vision and laying the foundation for a 2026 custom home-building program. They now offer a seamless process from inspiration to installation and have opened their space to East Highlands interior designers with a robust rewards program to support collaboration.

Rooted in family ownership and strong community ties, Best Buy Interior Finishes and Mart Design Co offer a true one-stop shop for homeowners and designers alike — bringing curated materials, trusted installation, and elevated design solutions to every project.
