Home additions in Lake Bluff, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Lake Bluff and throughout Lake County. We bring decades of experience to every kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovation project. Our team is dedicated to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction in Lake Bluff.

Lake Bluff began as an 1875 Methodist camp-meeting resort, and its east side still shows it: cottages and foursquares from the village's hotel era on compact lots near the beach, wooded ravines threading between streets, and a walkable downtown along Scranton Avenue. Elsewhere, newer subdivisions like Tangley Oaks and The Sanctuary add a different housing vintage. GS Construction remodels across both — opening up tight kitchens in century-old cottages, fitting primary baths under original rooflines, finishing basements, and planning additions around ravine and bluff setbacks. One utility note we build into plumbing-heavy projects: the Village pipes Lake Michigan water from the CLCJAWA cooperative through its own 39 miles of mains, and it has identified roughly 116 older lead or galvanized service lines, generally splitting replacement costs 50/50 on village-initiated work. Metra's Union Pacific North Line stops in the village, and the park district runs an 18-hole golf course.

Lake Bluff permits & building codes for home additions

The Village of Lake Bluff's Community Development Department issues residential permits, and the list of work that needs one is broader than many owners expect — remodels and additions, roofing, siding and window alterations, decks, fences, even tree removal and grading. In subdivisions such as Tangley Oaks, Armour Woods, Wimbledon Court, and The Sanctuary, the village's permit guidelines also call for homeowners-association approval as part of the submission. GS Construction manages the full permit process — plans, applications, HOA coordination where needed, and inspection scheduling — for every Lake Bluff project.

How your Lake Bluff project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

2

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

3

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

4

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

5

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

6

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

Testimonials

Your Neighbours in Lake Bluff Love Us

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.

GS Construction & Remodeling is the best of the best. We've hired them to work on 5 different properties (4 were extensive remodels) and continue to be thrilled with their work and have referred them to friends and family. I constantly bring to them pictures/ideas from Houzz & Pinterest and ask how we can duplicate high end looks on a budget and they pull it off - magnificently - every time. Not only do they know their craft, but they have a great design sense as well and make suggestions that always enhance the project. Their communication (providing estimates for changes as we go along, keeping in touch regarding scheduling, etc.) is excellent. They're nice people and incredibly respectful too - top notch all around.
