## Local Context

Evanston's century-old housing stock and proximity to the lake create distinctive home improvement challenges - from old-plaster paint prep to roof replacements that respect Tudor character.

The typical Evanston home is about 78 years old, with a median home value near $470,000. Lake & Oak Co. scopes access, finish level, permit timing, and trade coordination around those local conditions.
