Lake Zurich Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Lake Zurich homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.
A Lake Zurich kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Lake Zurich permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Itemized scope — labor, materials, demolition and disposal, line by line
- Building, plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Lake Zurich
- Workmanship warranty on every kitchen — our commitment never expires
"Typically 8–12 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Kitchen remodeling in Lake Zurich, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Lake Zurich frequently involves transforming the compartmentalized layouts common in homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s. Properties in areas like Old Mill Grove, with their split-levels and raised ranches, often feature kitchens that feel disconnected from living and dining spaces. Our work typically focuses on opening up these constricted areas, creating expansive, integrated kitchens that serve as the true heart of the home. This often means removing interior walls to foster better flow and natural light, while thoughtfully updating the infrastructure to support modern appliances and family needs. We encounter everything from mid-century ranches needing a complete overhaul to 1980s traditional homes seeking a more contemporary aesthetic and improved functionality for today's busy households.
What Lake Zurich homeowners ask for
Lake Zurich homeowners frequently request large kitchen islands for both prep and casual dining, often as a central feature in their newly opened-up spaces. Integrating smart storage solutions, such as pantry pull-outs and custom cabinetry, is also a common priority, especially for homes that previously lacked efficient storage. We also see strong demand for high-performance ventilation systems, particularly when kitchens are opened to main living areas, to keep the air fresh and clear.
About Lake Zurich
Lake Zurich homes range from expanded early cottages near the lake to distinct subdivision waves from the 1950s onward, presenting unique opportunities and challenges for modern renovation. This diverse housing stock calls for thoughtful updates and comprehensive remodels to suit contemporary family life.
Lake Zurich truly grew up around its namesake lake, evolving from a summer-resort town after the arrival of Rand Road (US 12) in 1922 and Route 22 in 1927. Some of the homes nearest the water and Paulus Park still trace their origins back to those early cottages, which were later winterized and expanded for year-round living. The majority of the village, however, was built in distinct subdivision waves from the 1950s onward. West of Quentin Road, Old Mill Grove, developed by US Homes between 1969 and 1979, is a prime example, characterized by its prevalence of split-levels, tri-levels, and raised ranches. Similarly, 1980s neighborhoods like Quail Run, located off Deerpath west of Route 12, often present similar opportunities for modernization, with layouts that can be opened up and updated for a more cohesive flow. While Lake Zurich does not have an extensive historic district that significantly impacts most residential remodels, the village’s growth has also seen some teardown and infill patterns, particularly closer to the lake and in areas with larger lots, allowing for new construction that still respects the character of the neighborhood. For families in Lake Zurich, the excellent District 95 schools are a major draw, and the convenience of Metra's UP-NW line in neighboring Barrington is a significant benefit. With Paulus Park and Old Mill Grove Park serving as community focal points, and the evolving downtown Main Street, Lake Zurich continues to be a vibrant community where homes are continually being adapted and improved for modern living.
The early cottages near the water and Paulus Park, later winterized, often have original kitchen footprints and infrastructure that require significant updates to plumbing, electrical, and insulation for year-round living. Homes in subdivisions like Old Mill Grove (1969-1979) and Quail Run (1980s), with their split-levels and raised ranches, frequently have walls separating kitchens from dining or family rooms, necessitating structural considerations when opening up these spaces. Gas and electrical service in these mid-to-late 20th-century homes may require modernizing electrical panels and upgrading HVAC systems to support today's power demands and appliances. Venting and water supply lines in these older properties often require thoughtful updates, especially with the village's deep-well water supply, which is a crucial consideration for plumbing alterations. The compartmentalized layouts of homes built in distinct subdivision waves from the 1950s onward mean that kitchen remodels often involve removing non-load-bearing walls to create open-concept living areas and improve overall flow.
Kitchen remodels in Lake Zurich always trigger permit review for electrical and plumbing alterations, and potentially for gas line work or structural changes if walls are removed. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly manages all necessary applications, drawings, and inspection scheduling with the Village of Lake Zurich's Building and Zoning Division.

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.
