Serving Hometown, IL homeowners

Nearly all of Hometown was built in one stroke: beginning in 1949, J.E. Merrion & Co. laid out roughly 1,500 duplex homes on 300 acres for returning WWII veterans, and the half-square-mile city that incorporated in 1953 — tucked between 87th Street, Pulaski, and Cicero — still lives largely in that stock. Remodeling here means working with duplex floor plans, party walls, and compact lots: our kitchen and bath renovations open tight postwar layouts, whole-home projects replace mechanicals that can date to original construction, and additions get planned around close lot lines. A 1967 tornado destroyed 86 homes and damaged 500 more, so some blocks pair originals with late-'60s rebuilds. Hometown runs its own water system on Lake Michigan water purchased from Chicago and hasn't published a service-line inventory, so plumbing-heavy projects start by confirming service-line material with Public Works. Families attend Hometown Elementary on Duffy Avenue (Oak Lawn–Hometown District 123) and Oak Lawn Community High School; Metra's SouthWest Service stops minutes away at Oak Lawn Patriot Station.

Hometown permits & building codes for remodeling projects

The City of Hometown requires a permit, approved by the Building Commissioner before any work begins, for nearly every project type — the municipal code lists roofing, siding, window replacement, concrete work, fences, garages, and additions among work that needs plans and a permit. Fees run 2% of construction cost (minimum $15) under the city code, applications go through City Hall at 4331 Southwest Highway, and contractors file a city license application. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Hometown clients — licensing, application, plans, and inspection scheduling — through final sign-off.

5 Stars

GS Construction is a reliable contractor who did top quality work at a reasonable price. We completed a first floor remodel (kitchen renovation with wall removal, half bath remodel, new hardwood floors, updated laundry room) which required carpenters, plumbers, hvac and painters. Their attention to detail is amazing and the work was completed right on schedule. We are beyond thrilled with our updated house! I would recommend GS in a heartbeat and will definitely call on them when it is time to update the rest of the house.
