Home additions in Elk Grove Village, IL
Home additions in Elk Grove Village often involve expanding the footprint of the prevalent late 1950s and 1960s ranches and split-levels. These original layouts frequently feature smaller, more segmented rooms that contemporary families find restrictive. A typical addition project aims to alleviate this by extending living areas, adding new bedrooms, or creating dedicated home offices. Many homeowners seek to expand outward, transforming a compact footprint into a more spacious and functional home that better accommodates modern family life. This type of remodel integrates new construction seamlessly with the existing structure, enhancing both aesthetics and utility. We frequently address the need for additional square footage without requiring a complete teardown, preserving the character of these established homes.
What Elk Grove Village homeowners ask for
Elk Grove Village homeowners frequently request family room additions, expanding the living space beyond the original footprint of their 1960s homes. Primary suite additions are also popular, creating larger bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms where none existed before. Many also seek to add mudrooms or larger entryways, especially for homes with direct garage access, to better manage household flow.
About Elk Grove Village
Elk Grove Village homes, primarily ranches, split-levels, and modest two-stories from the late 1950s and 1960s, offer significant remodeling potential due to their original floor plans and construction era.
Elk Grove Village was master-planned from day one: after incorporating in 1956, Centex built out the neighborhoods on the west side while the land along O'Hare grew into the largest consolidated business park in North America. Housing followed that plan quickly — ranches, split-levels, and modest two-stories from the late 1950s and 1960s, joined in the 1970s by sections like Winston Grove and the Elk Grove Estates townhomes. Most of town is served by District 59 schools and Elk Grove High School, with Busse Woods and its resident elk herd on the village's northwest edge.
The master-planned nature of Elk Grove Village means additions must carefully consider the original lot sizes and setbacks established in the late 1950s and 1960s. Tying into the prevalent ranches, split-levels, and modest two-stories requires expertise in matching existing rooflines and foundations. The later 1970s sections like Winston Grove likely present similar, though potentially slightly varied, structural considerations for additions. Given the village's planned development, exterior changes for additions are reviewed to maintain the community's established aesthetic. Expanding these homes often involves navigating the original structural designs to integrate new spaces seamlessly.
Home additions in Elk Grove Village trigger specific inspections for new foundations, framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, ensuring compliance with Village codes. GS Construction & Remodeling handles all necessary permit applications and coordinates these crucial inspections with the Community Development Department.

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!
