Basement finishing in Harwood Heights, IL

Harwood Heights squeezes a lot of postwar suburbia into 0.83 square miles — together with Norridge, it forms an enclave surrounded by the City of Chicago. Beyond a small pocket of 1930s Durocraft homes south of Foster Avenue, nearly all of the housing arrived between the late 1940s and the 1970s: brick ranches and bungalows on compact lots, plus 1960s high-rises like Parkway Towers. Remodeling here works within tight footprints, so finished basements, reworked kitchens, and well-planned additions often beat moving. One local wrinkle: the Village runs its own water system and publishes an address-by-address service line inventory — about 200 of its 2,225 service lines were still lead as of 2026, worth confirming before plumbing-heavy kitchen or bath work. Most families are served by one-school Union Ridge District 86 and Ridgewood Community High School, though portions of the village fall in Pennoyer District 79, Norridge District 80, and Maine Township District 207; the CTA Blue Line at Harlem on the Kennedy serves commuters. GS Construction brings kitchen, bath, basement, addition, and whole-home remodeling matched to exactly this housing stock.

5 Stars

We had a fantastic experience working with Patryk and his team on our kitchen remodel. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work--and it shows in the final result. We're extremely happy with how everything turned out. They managed the project within our budget and even came up with creative solutions along the way to help us stay on track without compromising quality. On top of that, they've been responsive and proactive about coming back for minor fixes or touch-ups when needed, which speaks volumes about their integrity and commitment to their clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patryk and his team, and we fully plan to work with them again in the future.
