Lake Forest permits & building codes for remodeling projects
The City of Lake Forest issues its own building permits, and homes in the city's five local historic districts — or designated landmarks — also need a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission before exterior alterations, additions, or demolition can proceed. One homeowner-friendly wrinkle: the city waives permit fees when a project includes replacing a lead water service line. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Lake Forest projects, from historic-review submittals through final inspections.

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.
