Gurnee Home Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled homes 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.
Whole-home work lives or dies on the order things happen in. We run it as one job with one schedule and one number to call, with an owner here on site and a portal showing you the schedule, any change orders and your balance — so the trades aren't tripping over each other and you aren't running your own remodel.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
- Permits and inspections handled with Gurnee across every trade
- Workmanship warranty on the whole project — our commitment never expires
"One scope, one schedule, one point of contact."

Whole-home remodeling in Gurnee, IL
Whole-home remodeling in Gurnee frequently targets residences from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, particularly those in subdivisions like Stonebrook, Providence Village, and Ravinia Woods. These homes often feature segmented floor plans, smaller kitchens, and primary bathrooms that no longer meet modern standards. A typical whole-home renovation here involves opening up living spaces, updating multiple bathrooms, and transforming kitchens into central gathering areas. We often address outdated finishes, inefficient layouts, and a desire for more cohesive design across the entire property. This comprehensive approach revitalizes the entire living environment, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality throughout homes that are now reaching several decades old. We focus on creating a seamless flow from one room to the next, reflecting contemporary living while respecting the home's original character.
What Gurnee homeowners ask for
Gurnee homeowners undertaking whole-home remodels frequently request significant layout reconfigurations, often involving the removal of load-bearing walls to create expansive, open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas. Another common request involves reimagining entire primary suites, integrating larger, spa-like bathrooms with custom walk-in closets. Many also seek to modernize every surface and fixture throughout the home, from flooring and trim to lighting and interior doors, ensuring a consistent, updated aesthetic. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows and improved insulation is also a frequent component of these comprehensive projects.
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.
Whole-home remodeling in Gurnee frequently addresses homes in subdivisions like Stonebrook Estates, Providence Village, and Ravinia Woods where original kitchens and primary baths are due for updates. The Des Plaines floodplain in the historic core means basement and addition projects near the river corridor necessitate an initial floodplain check. The village's clean water system, drawing from Lake Michigan via CLCJAWA, provides a favorable starting point for plumbing updates, as there are no known lead or galvanized service lines. The family-centric nature, with residents feeding into Gurnee District 56 or Woodland District 50, then Warren Township High School, often means sequencing remodels to accommodate families living through the construction.
Whole-home remodeling projects in Gurnee necessitate extensive review by the Village's Building Safety Division, encompassing structural changes, significant electrical overhauls, and comprehensive plumbing updates across multiple areas. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly manages all long-form permit applications, coordinates required engineering documents, and schedules every village inspection from framing to final occupancy.
How your Gurnee project runs
ProcessThe same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.
Free in-home estimate
Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.
Itemized scope & contract
Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.
Design & selections
Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.
Permits & scheduling
We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.
The build, owner-supervised
Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

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.
