Barrington Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Barrington homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.
A Barrington kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Barrington permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Itemized scope — labor, materials, demolition and disposal, line by line
- Building, plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Barrington
- Workmanship warranty on every kitchen — our commitment never expires
"Typically 8–12 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Kitchen remodeling in Barrington, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Barrington often addresses the architectural evolution of the village. Many mid-century homes, particularly those surrounding Citizens Park, feature smaller, more enclosed kitchens that we frequently open up to adjacent dining or living areas, creating expansive, contemporary spaces for entertaining. For homes built in later subdivisions, our focus shifts to updating finishes, optimizing workflow with custom cabinetry and larger islands, and integrating smart home technology. We transform often dated layouts into bright, functional kitchens tailored to modern family life, whether it's a traditional colonial or a more contemporary residence. This often involves reconfiguring wall placements and updating all aspects of the kitchen's infrastructure to meet current demands and aesthetic preferences. The goal is always a kitchen that feels both luxurious and perfectly suited to the home's individual character.
What Barrington homeowners ask for
Barrington homeowners frequently request larger kitchen islands that double as casual dining and prep areas, often incorporating built-in appliances and ample storage. For homes from the 1960s and 70s, integrating pantry solutions and expanding existing kitchen footprints to accommodate more open-concept living are common. We also see strong demand for high-end appliance packages, custom cabinetry with specialized storage solutions, and improved lighting schemes to brighten previously dim spaces.
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.
For mid-century homes, often found in areas like the neighborhoods surrounding Citizens Park, original kitchen footprints were typically smaller and more compartmentalized, often necessitating wall removals between the kitchen and adjacent rooms to create open layouts. The aging mechanical systems in these properties mean that gas and electrical service, venting, and water supply lines often require significant upgrades to meet contemporary demands during a remodel. Later subdivisions, with their more contemporary designs, may still present kitchens with layouts that can be optimized for larger islands and updated finishes. Custom homes, while having larger footprints, still offer opportunities for personalized kitchen touches, often involving reconfiguring existing layouts or enhancing service lines for modern appliances. The distinct architectural styles across Barrington's housing stock mean that each kitchen remodel must be tailored to the existing structure, whether it's a classic colonial or a more contemporary home, often addressing original infrastructure limitations based on its era.
Kitchen remodeling in Barrington necessitates specific inspections for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, particularly when gas lines are moved or new ventilation systems are installed. GS Construction & Remodeling manages all permit applications and coordinates every required inspection with the Village of Barrington, ensuring full compliance throughout the project.

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.
