Basement finishing in Barrington Hills, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Barrington Hills and throughout Cook County. We're a family-owned and operated contractor specializing in kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. Our team brings decades of experience to every project in the Barrington area.

Barrington Hills is unlike anywhere else we work: a village of estate properties on five-acre minimum zoning, spread across four counties (Cook, Kane, Lake, and McHenry), with a deep equestrian tradition of barns, paddocks, and riding trails. Remodeling here has its own rules — nearly every home runs on a private well and septic system, so kitchen and bathroom projects that move plumbing get planned around well capacity and septic-field health from day one. Long private drives and large parcels change site logistics too, from material staging to protecting mature landscaping. GS Construction remodels these estate homes with that context built into the plan: spacious kitchens designed for entertaining, primary-suite and bathroom renovations, basement build-outs, and whole-home updates that respect the character of a custom-built house. Families here are served by Barrington 220 schools with Metra service from nearby Barrington village.

Barrington Hills permits & building codes for basement remodels

The Village of Barrington Hills issues its own building permits, and because parcels span Cook, Kane, Lake, and McHenry counties, county-level requirements can differ from one property to the next. Homes on private wells and septic systems add health-department review when a remodel moves or adds plumbing. GS Construction manages the full permit path — village application, county coordination, septic/well considerations, and inspection scheduling — as part of every Barrington Hills project.

How your Barrington Hills project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

2

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

3

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

4

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

5

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

6

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

Testimonials

Your Neighbours in Barrington Hills Love Us

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.

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.
