Home additions 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 home additions

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

We recently completed a near-total first floor renovation in which we re-drew the original (1963) floorplan. When we selected GS Construction, we had faith that our project would be completed to our specifications but, admittedly, we would not really know for sure until we were finished. Five months later, we can say we were extremely pleased with GS Construction – with the final result and the process itself. From the very beginning, it was clear that Greg and Patryk were “on top” of our project. Before demolition, they offered a clear plan and timeline about what we could expect. When demolition began, they communicated almost daily to tell us what was next, what decisions we needed to make and when workers would be on site. From demolition to final inspection, there were fewer than five days when workers were not actively working on site. Greg and Patryk were also terrific partners in helping us make the best decisions for our home. They considered what we were trying to accomplish and how to best achieve it – for function and for cost savings. They handled our changes easily, always working to minimize costs. One of the other things that we came to appreciate from Greg and Patryk was the quality of the work supplied by their sub-contractors. They were top notch and so respectful to us in our home. That, we believe, is a reflection on Greg and Patryk as well. All the tradespeople had very high standards. It’s clear that Greg and Patryk set an expectation for the highest quality work and their teams delivered. We wholeheartedly would recommend GS Construction for any home renovation project. High quality work – on time – on budget with a fully engaged and contributing father and son team that was a pleasure to work with.
