Highland Park has some of the most beautiful homes along the North Shore, from the estates along Sheridan Road to the older homes near downtown and the Ravinia neighborhood. The architecture here is diverse, with a lot of high-quality original details that take real care to maintain.

We’ve been painting in Highland Park for close to twenty years. The projects here tend to be larger and more involved, which suits us well. We’d rather take on a project that requires thought and planning than rush through a quick repaint.

Why Highland Park Homeowners Work With Us

Lakefront homes in Highland Park deal with more moisture and wind than homes further west. The east-facing exteriors on homes along the bluffs weather faster, and paint failure shows up sooner on those exposures. We factor that into our product recommendations, using more flexible, breathable coatings on surfaces that take the brunt of lake weather.

The older homes near downtown Highland Park, many built in the early 1900s, have all the classic challenges: multiple layers of lead paint, original wood windows that need restoration rather than replacement, plaster walls with decades of patches, and detailed woodwork that takes time to prep and finish properly. We’re EPA Lead-Safe certified and have the training and equipment to safely handle lead paint.

Ravinia-area homes often feature a mix of traditional and Arts-and-Crafts styles, with stained-wood trim and natural finishes that require specific products and techniques. We know the difference between refinishing a stained surface and painting over it, and we’ll talk through the options with you before anything gets changed.
