Remodeling in Elmwood Park, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Elmwood Park and surrounding areas of Cook County. We specialize in transforming homes with beautiful, functional designs and quality craftsmanship. As a family-owned and operated contractor, we bring decades of experience to every project in Elmwood Park.

Elmwood Park's housing stock still tells the story of its 1920s boom, when John Mills & Sons built Westwood — a 245-acre subdivision of brick bungalows fanning out from the Conti Parkway circle — and postwar construction filled in the remaining blocks with solid brick homes on compact lots. Remodeling here means masonry walls, modest footprints, and vintage mechanicals. The Village runs its own water utility and is working through a village-funded Lead Service Line Replacement Program (about 6,200 lead lines identified in its 2024 plan), so a kitchen or bath remodel is a natural time to check your service-line status with the Village. GS Construction helps Elmwood Park families open up bungalow kitchens, remodel bathrooms, finish basements — often the only way to add living space on these lots — and plan additions and whole-home updates. Commuters ride Metra's Milwaukee District West line from the Elmwood Park station on Grand Avenue, and kids stay local in District 401 schools.

Elmwood Park permits & building codes for remodeling projects

The Village of Elmwood Park's Code Administration/Building Department (708-452-3920) reviews remodeling permits under the current International Building and Residential Codes, the National Electrical Code, and the Illinois State Plumbing Code, and submittals typically require four sets of architect-stamped plans plus a plat of survey when applicable. Most permits are issued within about a week — larger scopes can take one to three weeks — inspections need two working days' notice, and no permit is released until the property's water bill is current. Contractors must also be licensed and insured with the Village. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Elmwood Park projects, from stamped drawings and application through inspections and final approval.

I cannot say enough good things about GS Constructions / Greg and Patryk Szady. From the start, their proposal and cost estimate was broken down, item by item, which most contractors don't do. It allowed us to alter our project to fit our budget. Patryk also took the time to explain costs to us and help us get what we wanted for the price we could afford. Once we hired GS, they kept to their timeline, and they focused on our project. Each day we knew when to expect workers (who came on time!) and at the end of each day, we could see real progress. The crews that came to do the work were courteous, respectful of our space, and they cleaned up after themselves. Patryk and Greg didn't just show up once or twice; they were there throughout the project, and were alway helpful in answering questions, addressing concerns, and making it feel like my project was their main focus. Most importantly, the finished product was beyond our expectations. Patryk and Greg really pay attention to detail and are willing to go the extra mile to make things perfect. From exact tile or light placement, to thinking about how cabinets will sit near a doorway, to vent color, they thought of and addressed issues I hadn't even considered, and they made it look perfect, even when that meant more work for them. When I picked a paint color I ended up not loving, they offered to repaint even though it was my mistake. When I picked a wall mounted faucet known for being difficult, they spent hours trouble shooting water pressure and placement in order to get it just right. When the project was all done, Patryk and Greg followed up a few weeks later to make sure we were happy, and come back and address small punch list items that we realized only after living in the space again. It is this kind of attention to satisfaction and attention to detail that is rare to find in this industry, and it makes Patryk and Greg an absolute pleasure to work with. I have recommended them to others we have been equally happy. TL;DR: GS Construction was on time and on budget, and their prices are competitive and fair. Their work was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't be more pleased. After this experience, I honestly would not use anyone else. I will be a returning customer for life.
