Home additions in Green Oaks, IL

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. Utilities shape remodels here: much of the village runs on private wells and septic, while a small village system supplies Lake Michigan water purchased from Waukegan — its service-line inventory shows zero lead lines. GS Construction plans kitchen and bathroom renovations around well capacity and septic health where that applies, and puts generous footprints to work with basement finishing, additions, and whole-home updates. 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.

Green Oaks permits & building codes for home additions

The Village of Green Oaks issues its own building permits from Village Hall on O'Plaine Road, and its required-permit list reaches further than many owners expect: structural changes, decks and sheds, detached garages, fences, re-roofing, driveway replacement, and sprinkler systems all need one before work begins. Inspections are scheduled through the village's building line as each phase completes, and on the many well-and-septic properties a remodel that moves plumbing can add Lake County health-department review. GS Construction manages the entire permit path — application, village review, inspections, and final sign-off — on every Green Oaks project.

5 Stars

GS Construction was the contractor recommended to us for our remodeling project by our designer, Jenn Peterson of J. Peterson Design. The project involved gutting most of the first floor and doing a complete remodel of the kitchen and family room on a 53 year-old home. We could not be more pleased with the work, responsiveness, timeliness and the outcome. Greg and Patryk (Greg's son) are great people. They worked seamlessly with Jenn and had no issue with working to change some of the plans on the fly. They identified some structural issues natural to an older home and resolved them quickly and in very cost-effective ways. We had more contact with Patryk, who walked us through the project step by step from beginning to end. He was always available to talk to us and kept the project on schedule. Any change orders or other modifications were handled quickly and professionally. We recommend GC Construction without any reservations. They do great work and were fun to work with as well. Jim and Dana P The quality of the workmanship was first-rate and our space is exactly what we were hoping for. They were very reasonably priced and
