Evanston is one of the most architecturally diverse markets we work in. From 1890s Victorians near the lake to 1960s ranches further west to brand-new condos near the L, the housing variety here keeps our work interesting and our skill set sharp.
In a single week we might install a pivot door in a Victorian on Forest Avenue, a bypass slider in a condo near Davis Street, and a frameless walk-in in a mid-century ranch in West Evanston. The geometry, the wall construction, and the design vocabulary change completely between projects.
What's consistent in Evanston is that homeowners tend to be design-aware and detail-oriented. The remodels we glass are usually thoughtful, the conversations are substantive, and the glass choices reflect real consideration.
A short tour of the pockets we work in most often.
Historic homes — Victorians, Prairie School, Tudors. Pivot doors and inline panels in character baths.
Mix of older homes and newer condos. Frameless walk-ins and bypass sliders.
Mid-century housing. Tub-to-shower conversions and frameless 90-degree returns.
Bypass sliders over alcove tubs, frameless hinged doors on standalone showers.
Mix of older single-family and townhomes. Range of project types.
