- One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
- Permits and inspections handled with Barrington across every trade
- Workmanship warranty on the whole project — our commitment never expires
"One scope, one schedule, one point of contact."

Whole-home remodeling in Barrington, IL
Whole-home remodeling in Barrington often addresses the architectural evolution evident throughout the village. Many residences, especially those built in the mid-to-late 20th century, feature solid construction but with interiors designed for a different era, often characterized by smaller, more defined rooms. A typical whole-home transformation involves reconfiguring these layouts to create expansive, open-concept living areas that flow seamlessly between kitchen, dining, and family spaces. We frequently update original finishes, modernize aging electrical and plumbing infrastructure, and integrate smart home technologies to bring these classic Barrington homes into the 21st century. This comprehensive approach allows us to not only enhance aesthetics but also improve functionality and energy efficiency across the entire property.
What Barrington homeowners ask for
Barrington homeowners undertaking whole-home remodels frequently prioritize creating larger, more open kitchen and living areas, often by removing non-load-bearing walls to merge previously separate rooms. Another common request involves expanding or completely reconfiguring primary suites, incorporating walk-in closets, luxurious en-suite bathrooms, and sometimes even dedicated sitting areas. We also see strong demand for integrating functional spaces like mudrooms, home offices, and dedicated laundry rooms into existing footprints, optimizing every square foot for contemporary family life.
About Barrington
Barrington boasts a rich tapestry of established neighborhoods, from classic colonials and ranches to newer custom homes. GS Construction has been privileged to transform residences across this diverse landscape, understanding the unique character and remodeling challenges of Barrington's varied housing stock.
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. 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. As the village expanded, subdivisions emerged with more contemporary designs. Later developments introduced custom homes with larger footprints. Just beyond the village line, our work seamlessly extends to the grand estate properties of Barrington Hills. We also serve the surrounding Barrington-area communities.
The sturdy construction of mid-century homes around Citizens Park often means load-bearing walls require careful planning for open-concept layouts, while their aging mechanical systems necessitate full electrical and plumbing upgrades during whole-home remodels. More contemporary designs and custom homes, while newer, still benefit from whole-home renovations that thoughtfully update interiors while preserving their existing character. Expanding family rooms or adding new primary suites in subdivisions with varying lot sizes requires additions tailored to complement existing structures. For Barrington 220 families, finishing basements offers a way to add significant living space without an addition, which impacts the sequencing of living through a remodel. In Barrington Hills, extensive remodeling of multiple wings and integrating sophisticated systems means complex project management for families living through the transformation.
Whole-home remodeling projects in Barrington involve multiple layers of inspection, from structural modifications and electrical system upgrades to plumbing rough-ins and final finishes. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the entire permit process, including preparing detailed plans for review and coordinating all necessary inspections with the Village of Barrington building department.

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
