Libertyville Home Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled homes for Libertyville 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.
Whole-home work lives or dies on the order things happen in. We run it as one job with one schedule and one number to call, with an owner here on site and a portal showing you the schedule, any change orders and your balance — so the trades aren't tripping over each other and you aren't running your own remodel.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
- Permits and inspections handled with Libertyville across every trade
- Workmanship warranty on the whole project — our commitment never expires
"One scope, one schedule, one point of contact."

Whole-home remodeling in Libertyville, IL
Whole-home remodeling in Libertyville often focuses on bridging the architectural styles across decades, transforming properties from the 1950s and 60s with enclosed floor plans into open, flowing contemporary living spaces. Many residences in subdivisions like Copeland Manor and Countryside feature distinct, smaller rooms that homeowners now seek to unify, creating expansive great rooms for modern family life. This typically involves removing load-bearing walls, reconfiguring kitchen and dining areas, and updating all bathrooms to align with a cohesive design vision. For homes from the 1980s and 90s, particularly in areas like Cambridge Estates, the emphasis shifts to updating aesthetics, refreshing dated finishes, and improving energy efficiency throughout the entire structure. The goal is a complete transformation that respects the home's original character while delivering a fully modernized and personalized environment.
What Libertyville homeowners ask for
Libertyville homeowners frequently request whole-home remodels that open up compartmentalized living areas, especially merging kitchens, dining rooms, and family rooms into a single, cohesive space. Updating all bathrooms and the primary suite simultaneously is a common request, ensuring a unified design and modern functionality throughout the entire home. Many also seek to integrate smart home technology and improve energy efficiency across all systems during these comprehensive renovations.
About Libertyville
Libertyville's housing stock reads in layers, from 1880s railroad boom homes to 1990s subdivisions. Remodeling here spans that whole range, from opening up a compartmentalized kitchen to building an addition.
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.
Whole-home remodeling in Libertyville means navigating the unique challenges of homes from various eras, from the 1880s railroad boom structures around the Milwaukee Avenue historic district to subdivisions built through the 1990s. For century-old two-story homes near Cook Memorial Park, opening up compartmentalized kitchens often involves addressing older framing and potentially original wiring or plumbing that may not be up to modern code. Reworking a 1950s ranch bath in a Copeland Manor home typically requires updating all plumbing and electrical systems to accommodate new layouts and fixtures. The confirmed presence of a few hundred remaining lead service lines, even with a Village-funded replacement program slated for 2027, makes it crucial to assess plumbing infrastructure before extensive, plumbing-heavy work. Sequencing whole-home remodels in these diverse properties, especially for families living through the process, demands careful planning around the structural and system upgrades inherent in each era's construction.
Whole-home remodeling in Libertyville triggers extensive structural, plumbing, and electrical inspections, as nearly every aspect of the home's interior is impacted and subject to review. GS Construction & Remodeling meticulously manages all necessary permit applications, plan submissions, and coordinates every required inspection with the Village Building Division.

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.
