The oldest family owned business in Lake Forest, IL.
Based in Lake Forest, serving Winnetka, Kenilworth, Highland Park, Glencoe, and beyond since 1920.
For over 100 years, the Baldwin family has been trusted with the walls, ceilings, and exteriors of Chicago’s most distinguished homes. What began in 1920 as a family trade in Lake Forest has grown into a fourth-generation tradition of plaster and stucco mastery.
We are not simply contractors, we are artisans. Each project is treated with the care and precision it deserves, from seamless repairs in historic estates to custom Venetian finishes in modern residences. Our reputation is built on discretion, reliability, and results that endure for generations.
Whether in Lake Forest, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Highland Park, or any North Shore community, our work is guided by a single promise: to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your home.
We’ll come to your home, walk the space with you, and talk through your vision. Whether it’s restoring original plaster or creating a custom finish, we want to understand exactly what you’re looking for.
No surprises, no fine print. You’ll know the scope, the finishes, the timeline, and the investment, all upfront.
This is where the magic happens. Our craftsmen work with precision and discretion, keeping your home clean, quiet, and respected at every stage.
When we’re done, you’ll see surfaces that look like they’ve always belonged in your home, elegant, seamless, and built to last for generations.
The final finish determines the entire look and feel of a space. We recognize that our work is the most visible and critical stage in a luxury renovation or build.
