Kitchen remodeling in Barrington Hills, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Barrington Hills often involves updating custom-built estates from the 1970s through the 1990s, characterized by generously sized but sometimes compartmentalized layouts. These homes frequently feature kitchens that, while substantial, may lack the open-concept flow and modern amenities desired by today's families. A typical project for GS Construction & Remodeling transforms these spaces, often removing non-load-bearing walls to connect the kitchen with formal dining areas or family rooms, creating expansive, light-filled environments. We specialize in reconfiguring original footprints to accommodate larger islands, professional-grade appliances, and dedicated pantry spaces. The goal is always to enhance the kitchen's functionality and aesthetic, ensuring it complements the grandeur of these unique properties.
What Barrington Hills homeowners ask for
Barrington Hills homeowners frequently request gourmet kitchen expansions that integrate high-end, commercial-style appliances and custom cabinetry. Many seek to replace original, smaller kitchen footprints with larger, open-plan designs that flow seamlessly into entertainment areas. Another common request is the addition of oversized islands, serving as both prep space and casual dining, often incorporating specialized features like beverage coolers or warming drawers.
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.
Given that nearly every home relies on a private well and septic system, kitchen projects that relocate plumbing must consider well capacity and septic-field health from the outset. The long private drives and large parcels in Barrington Hills influence site logistics for kitchen remodels, impacting material staging and the protection of mature landscaping. The original footprints of these custom-built estates often featured spacious kitchens, which now present opportunities for modernizing layouts while respecting the home's character. Gas and electrical service in these homes were designed for their original configurations, meaning updates for new appliances or island placements will require careful planning around existing infrastructure. Venting, water supply lines, and other utilities are integral to these custom builds, and any modifications for new kitchen designs must integrate seamlessly with these established systems.
Kitchen remodeling in Barrington Hills necessitates specific permits for electrical, plumbing, and gas line alterations, along with structural changes like removing load-bearing walls. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly manages all village permit applications and coordinates necessary inspections for these specialized trade elements.

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.
