Remodeling in Gurnee, IL

GS Construction brings decades of combined remodeling experience to homeowners in Gurnee and throughout Lake County. We're a family-owned contractor providing kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovation services. Our team is ready to help you transform your Gurnee home.

Gurnee's housing arrived in waves. The oldest homes cluster near the historic river-town core along Grand Avenue and the Des Plaines, but most of the village went up after Six Flags opened in 1976 and Gurnee Mills followed in 1991 — the population roughly doubled in the 1990s alone. Subdivisions from those decades, like Stonebrook Estates, Providence Village, and Ravinia Woods, are at the age where original kitchens, primary baths, and unfinished basements come due — exactly the work GS Construction does, along with additions and whole-home renovations. Two local factors shape planning. The Des Plaines floodplain is Gurnee's historic core, so basement and addition projects near the river corridor start with a floodplain check. And the village's water system — Lake Michigan water via CLCJAWA — reports no known lead or galvanized service lines, a clean starting point when a remodel moves plumbing. Families feed Gurnee District 56 or Woodland District 50, then Warren Township High School, with Metra a short drive away in Waukegan or Libertyville.

Gurnee permits & building codes for remodeling projects

The Village of Gurnee's Building Safety Division, part of Community Development, reviews plans and issues permits for remodeling: kitchen and bath remodels go through the short-form application, additions and other major construction use the long-form, and some permits can be submitted through the village's OneStop online portal. Submittal requirements are specific — kitchen and bath remodels call for two sets of complete plans showing existing and proposed layouts plus electrical locations, and basement finishes need a full layout covering mechanicals, HVAC, electrical, and any new plumbing, along with a list of the contractors on the job. GS Construction prepares the documents, files the application, and manages every village inspection through final sign-off.

GS Construction & Remodeling is the best of the best. We've hired them to work on 5 different properties (4 were extensive remodels) and continue to be thrilled with their work and have referred them to friends and family. I constantly bring to them pictures/ideas from Houzz & Pinterest and ask how we can duplicate high end looks on a budget and they pull it off - magnificently - every time. Not only do they know their craft, but they have a great design sense as well and make suggestions that always enhance the project. Their communication (providing estimates for changes as we go along, keeping in touch regarding scheduling, etc.) is excellent. They're nice people and incredibly respectful too - top notch all around.
