Basement finishing in Lake Villa, IL

Lake Villa began as a resort town — E.J. Lehmann's 1880s retreat between Cedar Lake and Deep Lake, incorporated in 1901 — and its housing still tells that story. Near Cedar Avenue downtown and the Metra North Central Service depot, older village homes and converted lake cottages reward whole-home remodeling: reworked floor plans, added bathrooms, kitchens built for year-round living. The subdivisions that followed — Painted Lakes off Deep Lake Road (Centex, late 1990s), Cedar Crossing (1998–2003), and the 1970s–90s Fox Chase and Lakewood Hills area — are now at prime remodel age, where we update builder-era kitchens and primary baths and finish basements. The village runs its own water system and reports lead-free water mains; in pre-1986 homes we still confirm service-line material before plumbing work begins. With District 41 schools, Lakes Community High School, and a direct Metra ride to Union Station, Lake Villa families remodel to stay — and GS Construction builds the additions when they need more room.

Lake Villa permits & building codes for basement remodels

The Village of Lake Villa requires a building permit or registration for most remodeling work — its Common Permits list covers kitchen and bathroom fixtures, cabinet installation, basement build-outs, partition walls, decks, additions, and any plumbing, electrical, or heating changes. Applications go through the Building Department at Village Hall, 65 Cedar Avenue (847-356-6100), which asks homeowners to check in before making interior or exterior changes; homes in unincorporated Lake Villa Township permit through Lake County Planning, Building & Development instead. GS Construction manages the full permit process on every Lake Villa project, from application and documents to inspection scheduling and final sign-off.
