Des Plaines specifics: An accent wall in Des Plaines starts with the wall itself: brick bungalows, Cape Cods and postwar ranches make up most streets, many within blocks of the Des Plaines River, so I check flatness, old patches and stud spacing before any slat or board-and-batten layout is drawn. Here river proximity and older grading make moisture a recurring theme in basements and exteriors, so I plan the layout and fastening around the construction era of your specific house rather than a generic template. Recent accent-wall installs have run from Cumberland to downtown Des Plaines.
