Forest Lake permits & building codes for remodeling projects
Forest Lake has no village government, so remodeling permits do not go through a municipal building department — they are issued by the Lake County Planning, Building and Development Department in Libertyville, which requires a building permit for alterations and additions to an existing house. Depending on site conditions, county staff may also require a Site Development Permit, determined when the building permit application is reviewed. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Forest Lake projects, from county application and plan review through final inspections.
Completed projects around Forest Lake
GS Construction crews have completed 224 projects within 10 miles of Forest Lake — part of 410 completed projects across 68 Chicago-area ZIP codes. The map below shows real project density from our records, not a service-area claim.

Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.
