The work

Shiplap & Accent Walls services across Lake County, IL

A shiplap wall lives or dies on the first board. Set that one dead level and the rest of the wall stacks true; start off a floor or ceiling that isn't, and every gap grows as you go up.

We snap a level line rather than working off the floor, keep a consistent reveal between boards, and stagger the seams so the joints don't line up in a column down the middle of the wall.

Shiplap goes on more than walls. Kitchen islands and peninsulas, the back of a bar, fireplace surrounds and ceilings all take it, wrapped with a base and cap so the ends are finished rather than exposed.

Common questions

Shiplap & Accent Walls, answered

Do you offer shiplap & accent walls across Lake County?

Yes. Shiplap & Accent Walls is one of our core services and we cover all of Lake County, from Lake Forest and Highland Park up to Zion and Antioch. Call (224) 944-8652 for a free estimate.

Is shiplap the same as board-and-batten?

No. Shiplap is horizontal boards with a small gap between them; board-and-batten is vertical strips over a flat panel or the drywall itself. They read very differently in a room, and we can mock either up on the wall before you decide.

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.
