Serving Forest Park, IL homeowners

Forest Park packs its housing into 2.4 square miles along the Des Plaines River, and the stock is genuinely old: nearly half of the village's homes were built before 1940, with a median build year of 1949. Queen Annes and frame worker cottages share the oldest blocks with brick two-flats and Chicago-style bungalows, while condo buildings — roughly a quarter of all housing units — line the busier corridors. GS Construction plans remodels around that reality: opening up compact bungalow kitchens, adding a second bathroom where one still serves the whole house, finishing century-old basements with moisture control handled first, and taking on whole-home renovations or additions when a family outgrows the footprint. Worth knowing before plumbing-heavy work: the village runs its own Water Department and is replacing lead service lines in phases, currently at no cost to homeowners. Families here get District 91 schools, the selective-enrollment Proviso Math and Science Academy, Madison Street's restaurant row, and the CTA Blue Line's western terminal.

Forest Park permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Forest Park requires a building permit before work begins on most remodeling — structural alterations, moving or adding plumbing fixtures, electrical panel or wiring changes, new windows, roofs, and decks — while like-for-like cabinet swaps, countertops, flooring, and painting are exempt. Contractors must hold a village job license and carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance naming the Village of Forest Park plus a $10,000 surety bond, and electrical and plumbing work each require separate permits. Remodel inspections run in a fixed sequence — rough plumbing with a pressure test, rough electrical, rough framing and insulation, then finals — each on 24 hours' notice to the Building Department at 517 Desplaines Avenue. GS Construction manages the full permit process, from application and insurance paperwork through the final inspection sign-off.

5 Stars

A spectacular experience from beginning to end. Greg & Patryk are attentive, communicative, and very detail oriented. They put significantly thought into every piece of work and help resolve any lingering concerns in a timely manner. They were on site consistently and worked to finish the project in a very reasonable timeline. I would highly recommend their work to anyone looking to complete a full kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom renovation.
