Glencoe permits & building codes for basement remodels
Glencoe's Development Services Department runs permitting, and since January 2025 building plan reviews and inspections have been handled by SAFEbuilt, with new applications filed through the Village's online Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal. Certified local landmarks carry real protection — no exterior alteration or demolition without Historic Preservation Commission approval — and in 2026 the Village adopted additional ordinances to discourage teardowns of historic homes. Helpfully, Glencoe waives the permit fee when a project includes replacing a lead water service line under its cost-share program. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Glencoe projects, from portal submittal through final inspection.
How your Glencoe project runs
ProcessThe same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Glencoe Love Us

We have used GS for two bathroom projects-the first a small update; the second a complete remodel. We were thrilled with both. Everything was as promised; the timeline, price, and what it would look like. We were able to buy our own tile and fixtures and were not tied to any company's showroom. We got what we wanted and likely saved money doing so. GS also installed interior doors. The workmanship was great. The only downside is that now the bathrooms are the two nicest rooms in the house! I would heartily recommend GS construction!
