Bathroom remodeling in Great Lakes, IL

Great Lakes is not a typical suburb: the entire community is Naval Station Great Lakes — a federal installation with its own ZIP code (60088) inside North Chicago's city limits — home of the Navy's only boot camp at Recruit Training Command and the largest military installation in Illinois, sitting in Shields Township between North Chicago and Lake Bluff. Housing on base is privatized — Great Lakes Family Housing, managed by Hunt Military Communities, maintains more than 1,460 duplexes, triplexes, and single-family homes across six neighborhoods, including Forrestal Village beside the newly rebuilt Forrestal Elementary School (North Chicago District 187). Even the water is Navy-run, drawn from Lake Michigan and treated at the base's own plant rather than by a village utility. So when Great Lakes families plan a remodel, it is usually for an owner-occupied house just outside the gates, and that is where GS Construction comes in: kitchen and bathroom renovations, basement finishing, additions, and whole-home updates for Navy households and base civilian staff putting down roots near the Great Lakes Metra stop on the UP-N line.

Great Lakes permits & building codes for bathroom remodels

Great Lakes is a federal installation (within North Chicago's city limits), so no municipal permit office operates on the base: construction on the installation itself, including its privatized family housing, is governed by the Navy and its housing partner rather than a local permit office. Remodels on nearby owner-occupied homes fall under the City of North Chicago or the Village of Lake Bluff, and any unincorporated Lake County parcel is permitted through the county's Planning, Building & Development department in Libertyville, which handles plan review, permits, and inspections. GS Construction manages the entire permit process — confirming the right jurisdiction, preparing the application, and coordinating inspections through final sign-off.

5 Stars

Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.
