Green Oaks Bathroom Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled bathrooms for Green Oaks 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 Green Oaks bathroom usually takes 3–5 weeks. The parts that matter are the ones you never see again once the walls close, so one of us is here while it happens and the village signs off before anything gets covered. You get the scope written out line by line up front, not one number you can't check.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Waterproofing and shower pans built to spec, not to schedule
- Plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Green Oaks
- Workmanship warranty on every bathroom — our commitment never expires
"Typically 3–5 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Bathroom remodeling in Green Oaks, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Green Oaks often involves updating spaces originally designed for the village's custom homes of the 1960s–80s or the later subdivisions of the 1990s. These homes frequently feature generously sized primary bathrooms ripe for contemporary transformation, as well as secondary bathrooms that can benefit from more efficient layouts. We commonly encounter original plumbing layouts that, while robust, may not align with modern aesthetic preferences or water-saving fixtures. Transforming these spaces usually means a complete overhaul of finishes, fixtures, and sometimes the internal layout to maximize functionality and visual appeal within the existing footprint. The typical job focuses on bringing dated aesthetics and less efficient designs into the 21st century while respecting the home's overall character and value.
What Green Oaks homeowners ask for
Green Oaks homeowners frequently request the conversion of traditional tub-shower combinations into spacious, walk-in showers with frameless glass enclosures, especially in primary bathrooms. Another common ask involves reconfiguring secondary bathrooms to incorporate double vanities where space allows, or to relocate fixtures for better flow. We also see interest in integrating smart technology, such as heated flooring systems and advanced ventilation, to enhance comfort and energy efficiency.
About Green Oaks
Green Oaks features custom homes on one-, two-, and five-acre wooded lots, a legacy of its incorporation in 1960 as a buffer against dense development. This means generous footprints for remodeling projects, from basement finishing to whole-home updates.
Green Oaks incorporated in 1960 — renamed from the old Village of Oak Grove — as a deliberate buffer against dense development, zoned from the start for single-family homes on one-, two-, and five-acre wooded lots. The housing follows that story: custom homes on acreage from the village's 1960s–80s growth wave along St. Mary's and O'Plaine Roads, then later subdivisions like Saddle Hill (1980s), Reigate Woods, and Lake Somerset (1990s) near Route 137. The K-8 Oak Grove School (District 68) sits inside the village on O'Plaine Road, high schoolers head to Libertyville High School, and commuters reach I-94 in minutes or Metra's MD-N line in Libertyville.
The custom homes on acreage from the 1960s–80s growth wave often feature spacious bathrooms, but their original plumbing likely includes cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines, requiring updates for modern fixtures. Later subdivisions like Saddle Hill from the 1980s or Reigate Woods and Lake Somerset from the 1990s may have more standardized bathroom layouts, but still benefit from reconfigurations to maximize space. Homes on private wells and septic systems require careful planning for bathroom additions or reconfigurations to ensure adequate water pressure and waste capacity. Venting in these older homes may not meet current code, particularly in bathrooms added or expanded within the existing footprint. The generous footprints of these single-family homes on one-, two-, and five-acre wooded lots allow for significant reconfigurations, including carving primary suites from smaller bedrooms or expanding existing bathrooms.
For bathroom remodeling in Green Oaks, changes to drain and vent lines, as well as modifications to the water supply, trigger plumbing inspections from the Village of Green Oaks Building Department. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the entire permit application process, including scheduling all necessary inspections from rough-in to final.

Your Neighbours in Green Oaks Love Us
Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
They did an outstanding job on our complete bathroom renovation! Our bathroom was an icebox due to poor insulation from the original build. They made excellent design recommendations to resolve the poor insulation and also installed heated floors. They converted an outdated tub/ shower combo into a beautiful walk-in shower and we are thrilled with the results . Their team was prompt, courteous and clean, taking off shoes and wiping down the area which with a toddler in the home was extra appreciated. They even helped us install a shower rod in another bathroom that was not part of the project. We are so happy they were recommended to us and we would definitely recommend them for your project.
