Remodeling in Forest View, IL

GS Construction provides remodeling services to homeowners in Forest View, Illinois, and throughout Cook County. We are a family-owned and operated contractor specializing in kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. Our experienced team delivers quality craftsmanship and personalized service to Forest View residents.

Forest View is one of the smallest towns we serve — fewer than 800 residents on a compact grid beside Harlem Avenue and the Stevenson Expressway, where homes fill only about a tenth of a village otherwise given over to industry and trucking. Founded by World War I veterans in 1924, it grew fastest after World War II, when developer Walter Baltis built the modest, easily recognizable houses that still fill the blocks around Wenonah and Maple avenues; the whole residential district is zoned single-family. Remodeling here means making tight postwar floor plans live larger: opened-up kitchens, updated bathrooms, finished basements, whole-home updates, and the occasional addition where the lot allows. One local wrinkle: the village runs its own water department on treated water purchased from the City of Chicago, and it publishes an address-by-address service-line material inventory worth checking before any plumbing-heavy remodel. Kids here attend Lyons District 103 schools and Morton West High School, and the Chicago Portage National Historic Site sits just across Harlem Avenue.

Forest View permits & building codes

The Village of Forest View requires building permits for most construction, remodeling, and home-improvement projects, indoor and outdoor, with applications processed at Village Hall on West 46th Street in roughly a week. Contractors must file proof of insurance with the village, and any project over $2,500 also requires a $10,000 surety bond; starting work without a permit triggers a $100 fine plus a penalty of double the permit cost. GS Construction handles the full permit process for Forest View homeowners — application, insurance and bond paperwork, and inspection scheduling — from start to finish.

5 Stars

We recently completed a near-total first floor renovation in which we re-drew the original (1963) floorplan. When we selected GS Construction, we had faith that our project would be completed to our specifications but, admittedly, we would not really know for sure until we were finished. Five months later, we can say we were extremely pleased with GS Construction – with the final result and the process itself. From the very beginning, it was clear that Greg and Patryk were “on top” of our project. Before demolition, they offered a clear plan and timeline about what we could expect. When demolition began, they communicated almost daily to tell us what was next, what decisions we needed to make and when workers would be on site. From demolition to final inspection, there were fewer than five days when workers were not actively working on site. Greg and Patryk were also terrific partners in helping us make the best decisions for our home. They considered what we were trying to accomplish and how to best achieve it – for function and for cost savings. They handled our changes easily, always working to minimize costs. One of the other things that we came to appreciate from Greg and Patryk was the quality of the work supplied by their sub-contractors. They were top notch and so respectful to us in our home. That, we believe, is a reflection on Greg and Patryk as well. All the tradespeople had very high standards. It’s clear that Greg and Patryk set an expectation for the highest quality work and their teams delivered. We wholeheartedly would recommend GS Construction for any home renovation project. High quality work – on time – on budget with a fully engaged and contributing father and son team that was a pleasure to work with.
