Remodeling in Des Plaines, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Des Plaines and throughout Cook County. As a family-owned company with decades of experience, we're committed to bringing your remodeling vision to life. Contact us for kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations.

Des Plaines is a postwar boom town — its population nearly quadrupled between 1950 and 1970 as ranches, Cape Cods, split-levels, and bi-levels filled in around a downtown centered on Miner and Ellinwood Streets since the 1870s, while the Cumberland neighborhood mixes 1920s Tudors into that stock. Remodeling here usually means opening up compartmentalized floor plans, rebuilding original bathrooms to the studs, or adding space with an addition or whole-home project. Two local factors shape the work. Most homes get Lake Michigan water through the City's own system, but thousands of service lines are known or suspected lead or galvanized — a city-funded replacement plan has been proposed — so we verify the line before plumbing-heavy remodels. And with the Des Plaines River just east of downtown, we plan basements around flood protection: overhead sewers, backwater valves, and backup sump pumps that can qualify for the City's Flood Rebate Program. Families are served by District 62 schools and Maine West, with Metra UP-NW stops downtown and at Cumberland.

Des Plaines permits & building codes for remodeling projects

The City of Des Plaines requires building permits for remodeling, additions, repairs, and demolition, issued through the Community and Economic Development Department's Building Division. Contractors must be licensed, bonded, and insured with the City before a permit can be issued. If a basement project adds flood-control measures such as an overhead sewer or backwater valve, the City's Flood Rebate Program can reimburse 30 percent of eligible costs up to $2,000. GS Construction manages the full permit process — application, plan review, and inspection scheduling — as part of every Des Plaines project.

Greg and Patryk do amazing work and are incredible to work with! GS Construction completed two extensive bathroom renovations for us, including completely reconfiguring layouts and expanding one. Both bathrooms are absolutely beautiful, and they have significantly improved our family's quality of life in our home. Patryk and Greg are great communicators, take pride in their work, and have good attention to detail. Throughout the project, they really listened to us, took the time to understand what we wanted, kept progress going in a timely manner, and provided expert advice/suggestions and help on specific questions along the way. Every one of their team members did high-quality work. We couldn't be happier with the end result, and definitely will hire them for future renovations!
