Whole-home remodeling in Barrington Hills, IL
Whole-home remodeling in Barrington Hills often involves updating custom-built estates from the 1980s through the early 2000s, which frequently feature expansive but sometimes compartmentalized layouts. These projects typically transform original formal living and dining areas into more open, fluid spaces for modern family life and entertaining. We often see requests to integrate existing sunrooms or conservatories into the main living footprint, creating grander, more cohesive entertaining zones. A typical whole-home remodel here might encompass a complete kitchen overhaul, multiple bathroom renovations, primary suite expansion, and a comprehensive refresh of all finishes, millwork, and lighting throughout the entire property. The goal is often to modernize without sacrificing the home's original custom character and scale.
What Barrington Hills homeowners ask for
Homeowners in Barrington Hills frequently request the integration of smart home technology throughout their entire property, from lighting and climate control to security systems, often requiring updated electrical infrastructure. Another common request is to reconfigure bedroom wings, transforming smaller, less used bedrooms into larger, more luxurious primary suite amenities like expanded walk-in closets, sitting areas, or dedicated home offices. Many also seek to re-imagine grand two-story foyers, updating staircases, railings, and flooring to set a more contemporary tone for the entire residence.
About Barrington Hills
Barrington Hills is a unique village of estate properties on five-acre minimum zoning, with a deep equestrian tradition. Remodeling here has its own rules, as nearly every home runs on a private well and septic system.
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. Families here are served by Barrington 220 schools with Metra service from nearby Barrington village.
Whole-home remodeling in Barrington Hills often involves adapting to private well and septic systems, requiring careful planning for kitchen and bathroom plumbing relocations to ensure well capacity and septic-field health. The long private drives and large parcels impact material staging and necessitate meticulous protection of mature landscaping throughout the project. When opening up floor plans, the custom-built nature of these homes means structural considerations are paramount, often requiring engineered solutions to support new expansive layouts. Updating electrical and plumbing infrastructure for modern demands within these custom estates requires detailed planning to integrate with existing systems while minimizing disruption. Sequencing projects for families living through a remodel on these large parcels allows for strategic staging and phased work, ensuring comfort and safety.
Whole-home remodeling in Barrington Hills triggers comprehensive structural, electrical, and plumbing inspections by the Village. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the full permit application process, including all required plan submissions and scheduling for each phase of inspection.

GS Construction was the contractor recommended to us for our remodeling project by our designer, Jenn Peterson of J. Peterson Design. The project involved gutting most of the first floor and doing a complete remodel of the kitchen and family room on a 53 year-old home. We could not be more pleased with the work, responsiveness, timeliness and the outcome. Greg and Patryk (Greg's son) are great people. They worked seamlessly with Jenn and had no issue with working to change some of the plans on the fly. They identified some structural issues natural to an older home and resolved them quickly and in very cost-effective ways. We had more contact with Patryk, who walked us through the project step by step from beginning to end. He was always available to talk to us and kept the project on schedule. Any change orders or other modifications were handled quickly and professionally. We recommend GC Construction without any reservations. They do great work and were fun to work with as well. Jim and Dana P The quality of the workmanship was first-rate and our space is exactly what we were hoping for. They were very reasonably priced and
