Gurnee Bathroom Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled bathrooms for Gurnee 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 Gurnee 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 Gurnee
- Workmanship warranty on every bathroom — our commitment never expires
"Typically 3–5 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Bathroom remodeling in Gurnee, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Gurnee often focuses on homes built from the late 1970s through the 1990s, where original primary baths and hall bathrooms are showing their age. These projects typically involve updating layouts that might feel compartmentalized or feature outdated tilework and fixtures. Homeowners frequently seek to replace fiberglass tub/shower inserts with custom tiled surrounds, convert tubs to walk-in showers, or reconfigure vanity areas for better storage and flow. The shift often means addressing original plumbing configurations and ensuring adequate ventilation in these mature subdivisions.
What Gurnee homeowners ask for
Gurnee homeowners frequently request the conversion of existing tub/shower combinations into spacious, accessible walk-in showers, especially in primary bathrooms. Another common demand is for double vanities with ample storage, replacing single-sink setups or cramped counter spaces. Upgrading to heated floors and integrated smart lighting systems is also a popular choice for enhancing comfort and modernizing the overall bathroom experience.
About Gurnee
Gurnee's housing arrived in waves, with most of the village going up after Six Flags opened in 1976 and Gurnee Mills followed in 1991. Subdivisions from those decades are now at the age where original kitchens, primary baths, and unfinished basements come due.
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. Families feed Gurnee District 56 or Woodland District 50, then Warren Township High School, with Metra a short drive away in Waukegan or Libertyville.
Homes in Stonebrook Estates, Providence Village, and Ravinia Woods often have original primary baths and hall bathrooms, meaning existing layouts may require significant re-imagining to meet modern needs. The age of these subdivisions suggests original cast-iron or galvanized drain lines and copper supply lines are likely, which will be addressed when moving plumbing fixtures. Venting systems in these older homes might be undersized or improperly routed, requiring upgrades when reconfiguring bathroom layouts. Floor structures under original tile in these areas may consist of older subflooring that needs reinforcement or replacement to support new, heavier tile installations. In smaller homes within these subdivisions, creating primary suites might involve carving a bathroom from an adjacent small bedroom, necessitating new plumbing runs and structural considerations.
Bathroom remodels in Gurnee specifically trigger inspections for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work, particularly when moving fixtures, altering drain and vent lines, or adding new circuits for amenities like heated floors. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the full permit application process, including submitting detailed plans and coordinating all necessary village inspections through to final approval.

Your Neighbours in Gurnee 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.
