Buffalo Grove Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Buffalo Grove 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 Buffalo Grove 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 Buffalo Grove permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.

- Workmanship warranty on every kitchen — our commitment never expires

Kitchen remodeling in Buffalo Grove, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Buffalo Grove often involves transforming the existing footprint of mid-century ranches and split-levels, particularly those built in the 1960s and 70s. These homes frequently feature smaller, enclosed kitchens, a common design choice of the era that homeowners now seek to open up. A typical project involves removing interior walls to create a more expansive, connected living area that flows seamlessly into dining and family rooms. Updating the electrical infrastructure is a critical component, as older wiring often lacks the capacity for modern appliances like double ovens, induction cooktops, and high-wattage microwaves. Plumbing rerouting is also common to accommodate new island sinks or relocated dishwashers, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal within the updated space. The goal is consistently to modernize dated layouts into bright, spacious, and highly functional kitchens that cater to contemporary family life.
What Buffalo Grove homeowners ask for
Buffalo Grove homeowners frequently request large kitchen islands that serve as both prep space and casual dining areas, often replacing peninsula layouts. Another common ask is for integrated pantries and increased storage solutions, particularly in homes where original kitchens had limited cabinetry. Many also prioritize energy-efficient appliance upgrades and smart home technology integration, creating a highly functional and modern culinary environment.
About Buffalo Grove
Buffalo Grove's housing stock, much of it roughly a half-century old, ranges from mid-century ranches and split-levels to slightly larger, more contemporary homes from later development phases. This variety means original kitchens, bathrooms, and unfinished basements are often due for a full rework, offering diverse opportunities for modern transformations.
Buffalo Grove grew up fast after its 1958 incorporation. Throughout the 1960s and '70s, subdivisions like the Levitt-built Strathmore filled in with ranches, split-levels, and two-story family homes, contributing to the village's population jumping 80 percent in the 1970s alone. The varied housing stock across Buffalo Grove means GS Construction approaches each project with an understanding of the specific architectural nuances and homeowner needs, from the more traditional layouts near the Raupp Museum to the slightly newer constructions further north. Homes on the Lake County side, particularly those closer to Stevenson, sometimes feature slightly larger footprints or more contemporary designs from later development phases. Areas near Mike Rylko Community Park and along Lake Cook Road have seen continuous investment and development, reflecting a community that values both its established neighborhoods and modern amenities. With two North Central Service Metra stations — Buffalo Grove and Prairie View — and the Town Center reborn as The Clove, this is a town reinvesting in itself — homes included. The transformation of The Clove, for example, mirrors the desire of many residents to update their own living spaces to better suit contemporary lifestyles while remaining rooted in the community.
The rapid growth of Buffalo Grove in the 1960s and '70s with subdivisions like Strathmore means many kitchens have original footprints and segmented layouts typical of that mid-century era, often requiring wall removals to create open concepts. Homes near the Raupp Museum or in areas developed earlier may have more traditional kitchen layouts, while slightly newer constructions further north or on the Lake County side, particularly closer to Stevenson, might feature kitchens with slightly larger footprints. The roughly half-century age of much of the housing stock indicates that original electrical panels and plumbing frequently require updates to support contemporary appliances and fixtures in kitchen remodels. Buffalo Grove's village-run water system, delivering Lake Michigan water with copper service lines, simplifies planning for extensive kitchen plumbing, as surprises at the service line are rare. The community's ongoing reinvestment, mirrored by the transformation of The Clove, reflects a resident desire to update living spaces, including kitchens, to better suit contemporary lifestyles.
Kitchen remodeling in Buffalo Grove necessitates inspections for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, especially when reconfiguring layouts or upgrading systems. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly handles the entire application process and coordinates all required inspections with the Village's Community Development Department.

We had an excellent experience working with GS Construction on our primary bedroom and bathroom renovation. From the very beginning, they were incredibly thorough and transparent in outlining the scope of work, budget, and timeline. Everything was clearly communicated upfront, and they delivered exactly what they promised. When new things inevitably popped up during construction, we discussed our options and associated costs before proceeding. Throughout the project, Greg, Caesar, and Patryk were proactive, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer our questions, address any concerns, and kept us informed every step of the way. When we had follow-up questions after the renovation was complete, they were just as responsive and addressed our concerns quickly. We also really appreciated the care they took with our home. They went above and beyond to protect our living space during construction and did a fantastic job cleaning up afterward, which made the entire process much less stressful. Most importantly, the quality of their work is outstanding. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the finished project. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend GS Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and detail-oriented contractor.
