Basement finishing in Lake Zurich, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Lake Zurich and throughout the surrounding communities of Ela Township. With decades of combined experience, our team delivers beautiful and functional kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home transformations. We're committed to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction in every project.

Lake Zurich grew up around its namesake lake — a summer-resort town after Rand Road (US 12) arrived in 1922 and Route 22 in 1927 — and some homes nearest the water and Paulus Park trace back to cottages later winterized for year-round living. Most of the village was built in subdivision waves from the 1950s onward: Old Mill Grove's split-levels, tri-levels, and raised ranches (US Homes, 1969–1979) west of Quentin Road, and 1980s neighborhoods like Quail Run off Deerpath west of Route 12. That stock calls for exactly what GS Construction does: opening up compartmentalized kitchens, updating primary baths, finishing basements, adding on when a split-level runs out of room, and whole-home remodels that retire dated floor plans for good. Water comes from the village's own deep wells — with first-phase work underway to bring Lake Michigan water to town — worth knowing when a project moves plumbing. Families are in District 95 schools, with Metra's UP-NW line in neighboring Barrington.

Lake Zurich permits & building codes for basement remodels

The Village of Lake Zurich requires permits for most remodeling work — additions, decks, roofing, siding, and any electrical, plumbing, or HVAC changes — through the Building and Zoning Division at the Community Services Facility on Telser Road. Applications go in by email or in person with scaled plans and a certified plat of survey; most reviews run up to 15 business days (7–25 depending on scope), and permits stay valid for a year with inspections booked on 48 hours' notice. GS Construction manages the full permit process for every Lake Zurich project — drawings, survey, application, and inspection scheduling — so homeowners never chase paperwork.

How your Lake Zurich 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.

Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.
