Remodeling in Barrington, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Barrington and throughout Cook County. We're a family-owned and operated contractor specializing in kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations for discerning clients in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Our 5-star rated team ensures a seamless and stress-free remodeling experience.

Barrington, with its charming, walkable historic downtown centered around the iconic Catlow Theater, the bustling Metra UP-NW station, and the vibrant shops along Main Street and Northwest Highway, boasts a rich tapestry of established neighborhoods. From the classic colonials and ranches built through the mid-20th century to newer custom homes, GS Construction has been privileged to transform residences across this diverse landscape.

The village's housing stock tells a story spanning decades. Many of the homes built in the mid-century, often found in areas like the neighborhoods surrounding Citizens Park, feature sturdy construction but frequently come with smaller, more compartmentalized layouts and aging mechanical systems. For these properties, we excel at opening up kitchens for modern entertaining, transforming builder-grade bathrooms into spa-level retreats, and upgrading electrical and plumbing to meet contemporary demands. As the village expanded, subdivisions emerged with more contemporary designs, and even these can benefit from our expertise in whole-home renovations that thoughtfully update interiors while preserving the character that makes these blocks so desirable.

Later developments introduced custom homes with larger footprints, yet even these often present opportunities for personalized touches, from luxurious kitchen islands to master bathroom remodels that reflect individual style. The distinct architectural styles and varying lot sizes across Barrington mean that our additions are often tailored to complement existing structures, whether it's expanding a family room or adding a new primary suite.

For Barrington 220 families, finished basements are a popular way to add significant living space, perfect for playrooms, home offices, or media rooms, providing valuable square footage without the need for an addition. We understand the local nuances, including the presence of historic districts where exterior changes may require appearance review, ensuring our work respects the village's heritage while meeting modern needs. While specific flood-prone areas exist, our experience informs smart design choices and robust construction practices to mitigate potential issues where applicable.

Just beyond the village line, our work seamlessly extends to the grand estate properties of Barrington Hills, where whole-home renovations often involve extensive remodeling of multiple wings and the integration of sophisticated systems. We also serve the surrounding Barrington-area communities, bringing our 40+ years of combined experience and 5-star rated service to every project. Whether it’s a kitchen remodel in a classic colonial, a bathroom renovation in a contemporary home, or a comprehensive whole-home transformation, GS Construction understands the unique character and remodeling challenges of Barrington's varied housing stock.

What homeowners in Barrington ask for

Homeowners in Barrington frequently seek comprehensive kitchen and primary bathroom remodels to elevate their living spaces. Given the prevalence of custom homes, we often undertake projects that involve reconfiguring layouts to create more open entertaining areas or adding luxurious spa-like features to master suites. Basement finishing also remains a popular request, transforming unused lower levels into functional family rooms, home offices, or guest suites.

Having done a fairly large amount of “research” online I concluded that it was time to get an excellent contractor team and not second rate. GS is A + excellent. From bottom to top, their people care about doing the right thing, they are active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence in the little matters which leads to big beautiful renovations. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra, said a prominent fb coach, and its true in renovations. Greg Szady and Patryk Szady have high quality people and actively work with my selected and excellent designer Jenn Peterson to put my first floor into the 21st century and beyond my expectations. The designer selected very high quality materials and Patryk and Greg delivered excellent renovations installations and detail. Kudos especially to GS flooring experts because everything transformed beautifully. No one has paid me for this review or told me what to say.
