Serving Fort Hill, IL homeowners

Fort Hill is one of Lake County's oldest place names rather than a village: settlers standing on a hill along Peterson Road between Route 60 and Alleghany Road named it in 1837, and the name survives at Fort Hill Cemetery on Route 120 and the Fort Hill Trail preserve off Gilmer Road. The unincorporated countryside between Volo, Hainesville, and Round Lake still pairs farmhouses and ranches on acreage with newer subdivision homes inside neighboring villages — Volo alone grew from farm hamlet to 6,000-plus residents after incorporating in 1993. Remodeling here starts with infrastructure: many homes run on private wells and septic or Lake County Public Works service rather than a village utility, so kitchen and bath plans that move plumbing account for well capacity and septic health from day one. GS Construction covers the full range — kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, additions, and whole-home updates — in an area served by Fremont School District 79 and Metra's Milwaukee District North line at Round Lake.

Fort Hill permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Fort Hill has no village hall: unincorporated addresses here are permitted through Lake County Planning, Building & Development in Libertyville, which requires building permits for remodels, additions, and even accessory projects like decks and sheds, with applications accepted through the county's online permit portal. Homes on a private well or septic system also get a concurrent Lake County Health Department review, and adding bedrooms or increasing square footage by more than 50 percent can require bringing the septic system up to current code. Addresses annexed into Round Lake, Hainesville, or Volo follow that village's permit process instead. GS Construction manages the full permit path — county application, Health Department coordination, and inspections — on every Fort Hill project.

5 Stars

After reviewing three contractors for our kitchen and first floor remodel we decided to move forward with GS Construction and were very pleased we did. From the very beginning process, Patryk was very clear and detailed about the quote and communicated next steps and expectations. Both Greg and Patryk came up with solutions when issues came up and made sure the project moved along. Overall we are very pleased with the work done and would highly recommend them for any home remodeling project.
