Wood Beam & Plank Ceilings in Evanston, IL

A ceiling is the biggest uninterrupted surface in a room and usually the emptiest. Beams or planking is what changes that, and the layout has to be set off the room rather than a drawing.

Common questions

Wood Beam & Plank Ceilings in Evanston, answered

Do you do wood beam & plank ceilings in Evanston?

Yes. Evanston is inside our regular service area and we work there every month. Call (224) 944-8652 and we'll set a time to look at the job and put a written price on it.

Do box beams need structural support?

No. They're hollow and light, fastened to a cleat that's screwed into the joists, so no structural work is involved. Real timber beams are a different job and we'll be clear about which one you're asking for.

How much does it cost?

Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
