Serving Highland Park, IL homeowners

Highland Park has been building homes since its 1869 founding, and its streets show it. Prairie School history runs deep here — Frank Lloyd Wright's 1901 Willits House stands on Sheridan Road, and the National Register lists local homes by David Adler, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and Robert Seyfarth — while the Fort Sheridan Historic District turned 1890s officers' quarters into one-of-a-kind residences. Downtown's Central Avenue shops and Metra stop anchor a walk-to-town lifestyle, and neighborhoods like Ravinia, its own village until 1899, and Braeside keep their own UP-N stations. Remodeling this stock means respecting original framing and planning around older plumbing: the City operates its own water plant and is replacing lead service lines in phases through 2028, so a kitchen or bath renovation is a smart time to check your line. GS Construction works across that whole range — vintage-home kitchens, primary bath renovations, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home remodels — for families zoned to District 112 schools and Highland Park High School.

Highland Park permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Highland Park runs all permitting through its online Civic Access Portal, and applications must be complete when submitted — the Building Division does not accept piecemeal submissions — with plan review typically taking 5 to 15 business days. General contractors must be licensed and bonded with the City, and every permit requires a signed Property Owner Authorization Form. Exterior changes to the city's 136 regulated historic structures need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission, though interior remodels are exempt from that review. GS Construction manages the full permit process — portal submission, contractor licensing, plan review, and inspection scheduling — on every Highland Park project.

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.
