Basement finishing in Countryside, IL

Countryside grew up along historic Route 66 — Joliet Road still runs right through town — and incorporated as a city in 1960 after a post-war building boom that began with LaGrange Terrace, the area's first subdivision, in 1947 and continued through 1950s developments like Edgewood Park and Don L. Dise. Much of the housing stock dates to that era — brick ranches and split-levels now 60-plus years old, with the compact kitchens and single hall baths typical of the period. That is exactly the work GS Construction does best here: opening up galley kitchens, adding a second bath or primary suite, finishing basements, and building additions for families who want to stay near La Grange District 105 schools and Lyons Township High School. Plumbing projects tie into the city's own municipal water system, which delivers Lake Michigan water and reports service lines that are mainly copper. Commuters catch the Metra BNSF at nearby La Grange Road, with Pace Route 330 linking the station to Countryside Plaza.

Countryside permits & building codes for basement remodels

The City of Countryside requires building permits for any structural change, major alteration, or new construction — room additions, decks, porches, garages, and retaining walls all qualify — with applications filed at the Community Development Department in the Municipal Complex at 803 Joliet Road. Most permits are issued within about ten working days, though projects that need engineering or fire-prevention review take longer, and plans frequently must be prepared by a licensed architect or engineer. Permits are valid for 180 days with one 180-day extension available, and inspections are held on designated weekdays. GS Construction manages the entire permit process — drawings, application, and every inspection — for Countryside remodels.
