Exterior Remodeling Services in Evanston, IL
Innovative Home Concepts proudly serves Evanston and the surrounding North Shore communities. Based in Crystal Lake at 4410 IL-176, our office is approximately 39 miles northwest of Evanston — about a 55 to 60 minute drive via I-94 or the Edens Expressway. Evanston is home to Northwestern University and some of the most distinctive residential architecture on Chicago’s North Shore, with housing stock ranging from Victorian-era homes to mid-century bungalows and modern construction.
Since 2005, IHC has been providing siding, roofing, windows, gutters, and storm damage restoration across the greater Chicagoland area. Whether you’re in Evanston itself or a nearby community like Wilmette, Skokie, or Winnetka, you get the same manufacturer-certified installation, the same extended warranties, and the same women-led, family-owned service that has earned us 400+ Google reviews and an A+ BBB rating.
Evanston’s older homes present unique exterior remodeling challenges — original wood siding, non-standard window sizes, and architectural details that require experienced crews. With 21 years in business and six manufacturer certifications, IHC has the expertise to work with historic and character homes while delivering modern performance and energy efficiency.
