Glenview Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Glenview 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.
A Glenview kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Glenview permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.

Kitchen remodeling in Glenview, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Glenview consistently involves a fascinating blend of eras and architectural styles, from the charming, often compact kitchens of pre-1940s and mid-century homes in Swainwood and Tall Trees, to the more contemporary, yet still adaptable layouts found in The Glen. Many projects center on transforming these kitchens, frequently by opening up enclosed spaces to adjacent dining or living areas, a common request for improving flow and natural light. In mid-century ranches and split-levels, particularly those in areas like Indian Ridge, homeowners often seek to modernize dated finishes and appliances while also reconfiguring awkward pantry or island placements. Even in newer Glenview properties, kitchens built in the late 1990s or early 2000s are now ripe for stylistic updates and enhanced functionality, often involving refreshed cabinetry, countertops, and more efficient storage solutions to match contemporary living. The goal is always a kitchen that feels both current and seamlessly integrated with the home's overall character and the family's lifestyle.
What Glenview homeowners ask for
Glenview homeowners frequently request open-concept kitchen transformations, especially in mid-century homes where removing interior walls between the kitchen, dining room, and sometimes the living room dramatically improves the sense of space and connectivity. Another common demand is for larger, more functional kitchen islands, often incorporating seating, storage, and even prep sinks, catering to the trend of the kitchen as a central gathering point. Modernizing finishes, from custom cabinetry and quartz countertops to energy-efficient appliances and integrated smart home technology, is also a top priority for most Glenview kitchen remodels, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and long-term value.
About Glenview
Glenview offers a diverse tapestry of homes, spanning a full century of housing, which allows us to remodel across various styles and eras. Our deep local expertise helps us navigate these unique characteristics, from preserving historical character to modernizing for contemporary living.
Near downtown and the Depot Street Metra and Amtrak station sit established neighborhoods like Swainwood, where many homes date from before 1940 through the 1960s. The Glen, built on the 1,028-acre former Glenview Naval Air Station which closed in 1995, added an entire district of newer homes around Gallery Park, Lake Glenview, and the Glen Town Center. These homes were typically built from the late 1990s onward. Zooming in past the broad eras, Glenview becomes a map of named subdivisions we know street by street. Tall Trees, built largely in the 1960s north of Lake Avenue west of Waukegan Road, features homes ranging from roughly 2,300 to 4,300 square feet. Glen Oak Acres, off Lake west of Wagner Road, boasts spacious yards. Indian Ridge, on Landwehr north of Lake Avenue, is a 1980s community. In unincorporated pockets like Glenview Countryside, building permits run through Cook County's Building and Zoning department rather than Village Hall.
For kitchen remodeling in Glenview, homes in established neighborhoods like Swainwood, dating from before 1940 through the 1960s, often feature traditional layouts and plaster walls, requiring careful consideration for original footprints, wall removals, and updates to original electrical and plumbing systems. Postwar ranches and split-levels, common in areas spreading outward from the village center, present opportunities for open-concept transformations by removing walls between kitchen and dining or family rooms, while homes in The Glen, built from the late 1990s onward, often benefit from updated kitchen styles that may involve reconfiguring existing layouts or enhancing gas and electrical service. In Tall Trees, built in the 1960s, and Indian Ridge, a 1980s community, updating kitchens often involves modernizing original venting and water supply lines, while Glenview's ban on lead service lines since 1959 and its 50/50 cost-share program for older lines in annexed areas are key considerations for plumbing updates. Understanding these specific local nuances, from zoning to historical context and utility infrastructure, allows us to deliver well-planned and executed remodeling projects that truly fit the character and requirements of each Glenview home.
Kitchen remodeling in Glenview often requires electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits, especially when relocating fixtures, adding new circuits, or installing new ventilation systems, and GS Construction manages all applications and schedules necessary inspections. Any work involving gas lines or significant structural changes, such as removing load-bearing walls to open up a kitchen, also triggers specific review processes and requires specialized inspections to ensure safety and compliance.

We cannot say enough good things about GS Construction and about Greg and Patryk. We hired them on a strong recommendation from a friend and are very pleased with the results. Our project included remodeling a kitchen and master bathroom and adding wood floors to several rooms in our condo. We had definite ideas of what we wanted since we have done many remodeling projects in several previous homes, but both Patryk and Greg added great value with suggestions and ideas of their own based on their experience and talent. Their follow through was excellent and we feel confident that if anything needs attention, they will be there to make it right. P.S. They did a great clean up at the end of the project......i
