North Shore-Specific Considerations

Permit Management

Winnetka, Wilmette, Glencoe, and Kenilworth have specific zoning and permit requirements. We handle the entire application process, ensuring all documentation meets local village standards for a smooth approval.

Historic Properties

Many North Shore homes have historic significance. We design systems that complement period architecture—not fight against it.

Premium Finishes

North Shore properties demand attention to detail. We offer upgraded finishes, custom colors, and design elements that match the quality of your home.

Lake Michigan Proximity

Properties close to the lake face salt air, higher winds, and humidity. We specify materials and coatings engineered for these conditions.

Systems for North Shore Properties

Premium systems that complement the caliber of North Shore architecture.

Louvered Pergolas

Clean architectural lines that integrate with traditional and contemporary homes. Full weather control without compromising design.

The most requested system on the North Shore

Motorized Shades

Solar protection that disappears when not needed. Ideal for porches, pool houses, and pergola enclosures.

Preserve lake views while managing sun and wind

Glass Enclosures

Extend your living space year-round. Frameless designs that don't obstruct your property's sightlines.

Popular for three-season rooms and pool areas

"EDG handled everything—the permits, the coordination, and the installation. Our pergola was approved and built without us having to manage a single detail."
