"Your Basement Remodeling project deserves the best—we deliver it."

Basement finishing in Hometown, IL

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 basement remodels

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.
