Home additions in Highland Park, IL

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 home additions

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 were so fortunate to have been directed to GS Construction (Patryk, Greg, and the crew) for our home remodel. My wife's parents did a complete first floor remodel, which turned out amazing. The attention to detail was obvious and that was enough for my wife and I to feel completely at ease when we hired GS to do our project as well. From consultation to finish, Patryk and Greg were completely professional and reliable, and able to turn our lofty vision into a reality. In fact, they employed their knowledge and expertise to make our project far better than expected. Besides a kitchen demo and remodel, essentially an entire first-floor remodel, and multiple second-floor projects, we even unexpectedly made the decision halfway through the project to completely refinish the basement and turn this portion of the home from an unusable space, or at best a storage area, to a beautiful, functional area that matches the beauty of the rest of the home. In summary, GS Construction's knowledge, workmanship, creativity, and customer service make it a pleasure to write this review and unyieldingly recommend GS Construction for a construction project of any size! Thank you, Patryk and Greg!
