Carpenter · Evanston

Your Evanston carpenter for finish work and everything wood

Evanston's housing stock is old and it shows in the trim. Foursquares, Victorians and brick two-flats built well before the war, most with plaster walls, tall baseboards and casing profiles that were milled a century ago and are not sitting on a shelf at any lumberyard. Matching an existing profile matters more here than anywhere else we work, and that means knife-cut or built-up from stock rather than pretending a modern colonial profile is close enough. Add a large rental and condo market where landlords need repairs done properly rather than patched, and a steady run of kitchen and bath remodels in the older houses near the lake.

Evanston homeowners call us when the carpentry has to look right and last. We handle the detailed interior finish work — trim, crown, built-ins, doors, stairs — plus framing and the repairs other carpenters leave half-done.

The carpenter who quotes your Evanston job is the one who does it. We show up on time, keep the site clean, and give you an honest written price before we start. 10+ years in the North Shore means we've seen what Evanston's homes need.
