Painters Serving Evanston, IL Since 1969
Evanston has some of the prettiest old homes on the North Shore, and a lot of them come with the headaches that come with age. We have painted Victorians, foursquares, and century-old two-flats a few blocks from the lake. Old houses talk to you if you listen, and we have been listening for over fifty years.
Homes this old almost always have lead paint underneath, so we are lead-safe certified and we take it seriously. That means containment, careful prep, and a cleanup that leaves your yard the way we found it. The lake air is hard on exterior wood too, so the prep is where the job is won or lost.
What We Paint in Evanston
- Interior painting: walls, trim, ceilings, and cabinetry, with the prep that makes the finish last.
- Exterior painting: siding, soffits, fascia, brick, and stucco that can take the North Shore weather.
- Deck and fence staining: stripped, cleaned, and sealed so it holds up season after season.
- Front door and garage door refinishing: brought back to life, grain and all.
- Commercial painting: offices, storefronts, schools, park district buildings, and multi-unit properties.
- Color guidance: honest advice so you still love the color years after we pack up.
