Home additions in Deerfield, IL
In Deerfield, home additions frequently transform the village's prevalent mid-century ranches, split-levels, and colonials, expanding living areas that often feel constrained by their original footprints. Many homeowners seek to add substantial square footage, extending outward or upward to create more functional and open layouts. This often involves integrating new construction with existing structures, whether it's expanding a kitchen into a sunroom or adding a second story for new bedrooms. The goal is typically to modernize and enlarge homes without sacrificing the established character of Deerfield's residential streets, ensuring seamless transitions in design and materials. We frequently encounter requests to reconfigure cramped first floors and add dedicated spaces for work or recreation, directly addressing the evolving needs of families in these classic Deerfield homes.
What Deerfield homeowners ask for
Deerfield homeowners often request primary suite additions, expanding compact original bedrooms into luxurious retreats with ample closet space and spa-like bathrooms. Family room bump-outs are also highly sought after, providing expansive gathering areas that connect seamlessly with existing living spaces and often open to outdoor entertaining areas. Another common request involves multi-story additions that add new bedrooms and bathrooms, addressing the need for more private space as families grow within their established Deerfield homes.
About Deerfield
Deerfield's housing stock tells the story of the postwar boom, with ranches, split-levels, and colonials filling former farmland. Remodeling that stock is what we do, opening up mid-century floor plans for how families live now.
The village grew from about 3,300 residents in 1950 to nearly 12,000 by 1960, filling former farmland with the ranches, split-levels, and colonials that still line its streets, with later construction as the population grew toward today's roughly 19,000. Families here anchor around District 109 schools, Deerfield High School, downtown's Deerfield Square, and two Metra MD-N stations at Deerfield and Lake Cook Road.
The rapid growth from 1950 to 1960, filling former farmland, indicates that many homes are on similarly sized lots, meaning additions must carefully consider established setbacks common to that era. The prevalence of ranches, split-levels, and colonials from the initial population boom requires careful planning to tie into diverse existing roof lines and foundation types. Later construction as the population grew suggests some variation in lot sizes and home styles, which can influence the feasibility and design of additions. The Village's review of exterior changes will likely focus on maintaining the character of these established residential streets. Additions to homes built before 1960 may involve coordinating with the lead water service line replacement program, especially for plumbing-heavy additions or whole-home renovations.
For home additions in Deerfield, the Village's plan review process scrutinizes structural integrity, foundation details, and the seamless integration of new and existing building systems. GS Construction & Remodeling meticulously manages all required inspections, from foundation and framing to electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, ensuring every phase meets Deerfield's stringent code requirements.

Greg came highly recommended for my bathroom remodel. From demolition to final product, I was very happy with my choice in contractors! Greg listened to what I wanted done, made some suggestions and even changed tile layout in the tub area after I changed my mind. He wanted me to be completely happy when he was done. He always left the work area clean each day and start each day on time. Because of the workmanship, GS Construction is doing a family member's bathroom remodel. It was an easy choice!
