"Your Home Additions project deserves the best—we deliver it."

Home additions in Elmwood Park, IL

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 home additions

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.
