Elgin Bathroom Remodeling

GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING

GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled bathrooms for Elgin 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 Elgin bathroom usually takes 3–5 weeks. The parts that matter are the ones you never see again once the walls close, so one of us is here while it happens and the village signs off before anything gets covered. You get the scope written out line by line up front, not one number you can't check.

  • Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
  • Waterproofing and shower pans built to spec, not to schedule
  • Plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Elgin
  • Workmanship warranty on every bathroomour commitment never expires

Bathroom remodeling in Elgin, IL

GS Construction provides kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling services to homeowners in Elgin and throughout Kane County. With decades of experience, we bring quality craftsmanship and attention to detail to every project. Let us help you transform your Elgin home.

Remodeling in Elgin starts with the era of the house. On the east side of the Fox River, the Elgin and Spring-Douglas historic districts are lined with late-19th- and early-20th-century homes — Spring-Douglas largely 1886–1920 — while the National Watch Historic District preserves workers' cottages from the watch-factory years. In these houses, kitchen and bath renovations get planned around original trim, plaster, and aging plumbing. That last point matters: Elgin treats its own water, drawn mainly from the Fox River, and is several years into a multi-year lead service line replacement program, so we check the city's service-line map before any plumbing-heavy remodel. West of the river, housing runs newer out to the Randall Road corridor and subdivisions like Bowes Creek Country Club and Edgewater by Del Webb — a natural fit for basement build-outs, primary-suite baths, additions, and whole-home updates. School District U-46, Illinois' second-largest, serves Elgin families, with Metra Milwaukee District West service from Big Timber Road, downtown Elgin, and National Street.

Elgin permits & building codes for bathroom remodels

Remodeling permits in Elgin go through the Community Development Department at 150 Dexter Court, with applications accepted by email at [email protected]; the city quotes roughly 3–5 business days of review for simple trade permits and 10–15 business days for plan-review projects like basement remodels. Every licensed contractor on the job must submit a notarized letter of intent, and plumbing work requires an Illinois 055-licensed plumber. Work that changes the exterior of a home in one of Elgin's five locally designated historic districts also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness reviewed under the city's design guidelines. GS Construction manages the full permit process — applications, contractor paperwork, historic-district coordination, and inspection scheduling — on every Elgin project.

How your Elgin project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

2

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

3

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

4

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

5

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

6

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

Testimonials

Your Neighbours in Elgin Love Us

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.

We had a truly amazing experience with GS Construction remodeling our kitchen and first floor. As remodeling novices, we connected with GS Construction through our designer and were so happy with this match made in heaven. Having heard horror stories from friends about remodels that went on forever and tales of unreliable contractors who don’t communicate, we were nervous when we started and expected the process to be long and painful. Our experience could not have been more different. Greg and Patryk were great at keeping us informed and the total amount of time from demo to the unveiling to friends and family was really reasonable at a little over 2 months. We received great personalized attention and they were great at offering ideas and trouble shooting various things that came up. But the real highlight is the quality of the work. They were so attentive and made sure that we loved every inch of our new space. We have never loved our house more!
