Serving Forest View, IL homeowners

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 for remodeling projects

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 used GS Construction for a complete kitchen renovation and are extremely satisfied with the results. Patryk worked closely with our designer to meet and in many cases exceed our expectations. They installed the custom cabinetry made offsite through our designer and coordinated all the necessary craft people (flooring, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, tile, and painting). They were also able to custom build a mudroom bench and cubbies to fit a small space. Bottom line is their craftmanship is really good, they take the time to do it right. There were challenges that came up in our 125 year old house but Greg was able to develop and implement creative solutions and was fair when it came to change orders. There were of course delays but they generally filled us in when needed and were willing to answer any questions we had along the way.
