Shiplap & Accent Walls for Evanston, Illinois homes
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.
Evanston's pre-war houses are full of original profiles that have to be matched rather than replaced, and that is most of what we do here. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Evanston job is the one who shows up to do it.
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 in Evanston, answered
Do you do shiplap & accent walls 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.
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.
