Working in Evanston's Victorian and Craftsman Homes
Evanston has one of the most varied housing stocks on the North Shore, with Victorian and Queen Anne frame homes from the 1890s through the 1920s, Craftsman bungalows, and larger lakefront properties. Moisture exposure from Lake Michigan is a consistent factor in roofing, window, and exterior envelope work throughout the city.
