Kitchen remodeling in Green Oaks, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Green Oaks often involves transforming spaces within custom homes from the 1960s-1980s or later subdivision properties built in the 1990s. Many of these homes, especially the earlier custom builds, feature distinct kitchen zones that homeowners now seek to open up for modern living. A typical kitchen remodel here might involve removing a non-load-bearing wall to create a more integrated kitchen-dining experience, updating the aesthetic from mid-century or traditional to contemporary, or expanding a kitchen's footprint within the generous existing floorplans. We frequently encounter original, well-built but dated cabinetry and finishes that are ripe for a complete overhaul, bringing these spacious Green Oaks kitchens into the 21st century. The underlying infrastructure, from electrical to plumbing, often requires comprehensive upgrades to support today's high-performance appliances and lighting schemes.
What Green Oaks homeowners ask for
Green Oaks homeowners frequently request larger kitchen islands, often incorporating seating and dedicated prep areas, to serve as the central hub of their open-concept designs. We also see strong demand for walk-in pantries and dedicated beverage stations to enhance functionality and storage within these expansive homes. Integrated smart appliances and advanced lighting controls are popular, elevating both convenience and the overall ambiance of the remodeled kitchen.
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 from Green Oaks' 1960s–80s growth wave often feature distinct kitchen layouts that may require significant wall removal to achieve today's open-concept designs. For properties in later 1980s and 1990s subdivisions like Saddle Hill, Reigate Woods, and Lake Somerset, electrical and gas services might be more readily adaptable for modern high-performance appliances. Venting solutions in these custom homes and earlier subdivision properties often need comprehensive upgrades to handle contemporary cooking demands. Water supply lines in much of the village, reliant on private wells, necessitate careful consideration of well capacity and pressure when planning new fixture installations. Additionally, the septic systems prevalent in many areas require thoughtful planning for water discharge when reconfiguring kitchen plumbing. The generous footprints of these homes, whether custom builds or subdivision properties, allow for expanding original kitchen footprints without the need for an addition.
A Green Oaks kitchen remodel requires a building permit, especially for changes involving plumbing, electrical, or structural modifications. The Village of Green Oaks building department reviews these plans and conducts inspections at various stages, which GS Construction & Remodeling fully manages for every project.

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.
