GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING

GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled homes for Fox River Grove homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.

Whole-home work lives or dies on the order things happen in. We run it as one job with one schedule and one number to call, with an owner here on site and a portal showing you the schedule, any change orders and your balance — so the trades aren't tripping over each other and you aren't running your own remodel.

  • Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
  • One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
  • Permits and inspections handled with Fox River Grove across every trade
  • Workmanship warranty on the whole projectour commitment never expires

Whole-home remodeling in Fox River Grove, IL

GS Construction provides kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home remodeling services to homeowners in Fox River Grove and throughout McHenry County. With decades of combined experience, our family-owned team delivers exceptional craftsmanship and personalized design solutions. We're dedicated to transforming homes in Fox River Grove to reflect your unique style and needs.

Fox River Grove began as a resort town — the old Picnic Grove drew Chicagoans by the trainload, and Czech families built cottages on the hills above the Fox River — and that history still shapes the housing: compact cottage-era homes on the blocks near the river and the Metra station, the Picnic Grove subdivision on the former resort grounds, and newer stock like Foxmoor off Algonquin Road, built from the late 1970s into the 1990s. We plan for both: opening up small cottage kitchens, fitting full baths into tight footprints, finishing basements, and building additions where a vintage home needs real square footage, alongside kitchen and primary-bath updates in Foxmoor-era two-stories. The Village runs its own water and sewer utility and launched a multi-year water-main replacement program in 2024 that also swaps out lead service lines — worth knowing when a remodel touches older plumbing. District 3 schools, Cary-Grove High School, and the UP-NW Metra stop anchor daily life.

Fox River Grove permits & building codes for whole-home remodels

Fox River Grove asks homeowners to check with the Building Department at Village Hall (305 Illinois Street) before making any interior or exterior changes, and remodeling that involves structural, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work requires a permit. Simple like-for-like replacements such as re-roofs, siding, water heaters, and furnace or AC swaps can be issued over the counter, while additions and larger remodels go through Building Department review before a permit is issued. GS Construction manages the entire permit process for your Fox River Grove project, from application through final inspection.

How your Fox River Grove project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

2

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

3

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

4

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

5

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

6

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

Testimonials

Your Neighbours in Fox River Grove Love Us

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.

Having done a fairly large amount of “research” online I concluded that it was time to get an excellent contractor team and not second rate. GS is A + excellent. From bottom to top, their people care about doing the right thing, they are active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence in the little matters which leads to big beautiful renovations. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra, said a prominent fb coach, and its true in renovations. Greg Szady and Patryk Szady have high quality people and actively work with my selected and excellent designer Jenn Peterson to put my first floor into the 21st century and beyond my expectations. The designer selected very high quality materials and Patryk and Greg delivered excellent renovations installations and detail. Kudos especially to GS flooring experts because everything transformed beautifully. No one has paid me for this review or told me what to say.
