Basement finishing in Libertyville, IL

Libertyville's housing stock reads in layers. The oldest homes date to the 1880s railroad boom around downtown's Milwaukee Avenue historic district — a commercial core rebuilt in brick after the 1895 fire. Postwar neighborhoods like Copeland Manor, where more than 300 homes went up between 1947 and 1949, filled in as the village's population tripled between 1950 and 1980, and later subdivisions carried growth through the 1990s. Remodeling here spans that whole range: opening up a compartmentalized kitchen in a century-old two-story near Cook Memorial Park, reworking a 1950s ranch bath, finishing a basement, or building an addition where the lot allows. One local wrinkle: the Village distributes Lake Michigan water from CLCJAWA, and it has confirmed a few hundred remaining lead service lines, with a Village-funded replacement program slated to begin in 2027 — worth knowing before plumbing-heavy work. GS Construction delivers kitchens, baths, basements, additions, and whole-home remodels for families anchored by District 70 schools, Libertyville High School, and the downtown Metra station.

Libertyville permits & building codes for basement remodels

Libertyville's Building Division takes a broad view of what needs a permit — its own guidance is "if you have to go to the hardware store, you probably need a permit" — and that covers remodeling, plumbing, roofing, siding, window replacement, and structural work, with fees based on construction cost and a cash bond of $500 to $5,000 on some projects. The Village has no contractor registration or fee, but contractors must file a certificate of insurance naming the Village, licensed electricians and plumbers must submit a signed letter of intent for each project, and construction hours are limited to 7 am–6 pm on weekdays with later starts on weekends. GS Construction manages the full permit path in Libertyville — application, license and insurance paperwork, plan review, and inspection scheduling — from start to final sign-off.

5 Stars

Having done a fairly large amount of “research” online I concluded that it was time to get an excellent contractor team and not second rate. GS is A + excellent. From bottom to top, their people care about doing the right thing, they are active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence in the little matters which leads to big beautiful renovations. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra, said a prominent fb coach, and its true in renovations. Greg Szady and Patryk Szady have high quality people and actively work with my selected and excellent designer Jenn Peterson to put my first floor into the 21st century and beyond my expectations. The designer selected very high quality materials and Patryk and Greg delivered excellent renovations installations and detail. Kudos especially to GS flooring experts because everything transformed beautifully. No one has paid me for this review or told me what to say.
