North Shore painters who treat your home like our own
I’Art is a family-owned company based in Evanston, led by Edwin Salazar. For more than a decade we’ve built our name on meticulous work, honest communication, and turning home projects into something you’ll truly enjoy.
We’re a small, local team — the people who quote your job are the people who do it, and we leave your home cleaner than we found it. We hire local talent and give back to the early-childhood community we care about, and we finish every project with premium, low-odor materials from trusted makers like Benjamin Moore. Choose I’Art and you’re supporting a neighbor who treats your home like their own.

What homeowners say
Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what homeowners across Evanston and the North Shore say about working with us.
“Edwin did a tremendous job. We live in a 100+ year old house with a bedroom that had crumbling lathe-and-plaster walls and ceiling. Edwin came up with a solution that used existing architectural elements and accounted for the many puzzles an old house presents. He was prompt and kept to our timeframe, clear in his pricing with no surprises, friendly and courteous. He worked steadily, quickly, with minimal dust, and was meticulous about daily cleanup. The result is a transformed room that is bright, clean, and usable. I recommend Edwin highly and without reservation — a fine craftsman and a good man.”
“It went very, very well. Everything was done to perfection. Edwin matched the color already on the walls and touched up the marks without having to repaint the whole room. Every painting job I’ve had Edwin do was always done to perfection — and he always cleaned up afterward.”
