Interior and exterior painting throughout Evanston, with the careful preparation that older North Shore homes and their detailed trim actually require.
Painting and decorating built around Evanston homes
Evanston has some of the oldest housing stock we work on. Victorian and early twentieth-century homes here carry deep trim profiles, picture rails and original woodwork that has often been painted many times over. Stripping back where the detail has been lost, and cutting in cleanly where it has not, is slow work that separates a good finish from a smothered one.
Alongside the period homes we work on apartment buildings, student rentals near the university and newer condos. For rental turnarounds we can work to a fixed handover date; for owner-occupied period homes we take the time the trim deserves.

Built around how Evanston homes are actually built
Evanston interior work is rarely just paint. Older plaster moves with the seasons, and a repair that isn’t stabilized first reopens within months. Deep trim profiles, picture rails and original millwork carry decades of layered finish that needs de-glossing rather than coating over, or the new paint fails to bond.
We treat the woodwork as the part of the job that shows, not a formality before the walls. Doors and casings are hand-brushed rather than sprayed where the profile calls for it, hardware is removed rather than masked around, and staircases get the same attention as the rooms either side of them.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here. Where trim detail has been lost under successive coats we can strip back before repainting, which is slower but the only way to recover the profile.
