Kitchen remodeling in Libertyville, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Libertyville often navigates the distinct architectural styles present across the village. For homes near Cook Memorial Park or in older sections, this frequently means reimagining compartmentalized layouts from the early 20th century, opening up galley kitchens to create more fluid living and dining spaces. In postwar neighborhoods like Copeland Manor, kitchens from the 1940s and 50s typically require updates to integrate modern appliances and improve workflow, often involving reconfiguring existing footprints rather than extensive structural changes. Newer subdivisions from the 80s and 90s, while more open, still present opportunities to enhance functionality, upgrade finishes, and personalize a space that might feel dated, whether updating oak cabinetry or expanding islands for better family interaction. A typical project transforms a functional but often isolated kitchen into the heart of the home, tailored to contemporary family life and entertaining.
What Libertyville homeowners ask for
Libertyville homeowners frequently request larger kitchen islands that serve as both prep space and casual dining areas, particularly in homes where the original kitchen lacked a central gathering point. Demand is high for custom cabinetry solutions that maximize storage and integrate seamlessly with a new open-concept layout, moving away from utilitarian designs. Many also prioritize energy-efficient appliance upgrades and enhanced task lighting to brighten spaces that were once dimmer, especially in homes with smaller, original windows.
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.
For homes from the 1880s railroad boom near Milwaukee Avenue, original kitchen footprints often involve compartmentalized layouts that necessitate wall removal to open up spaces, impacting existing gas and electrical service. Postwar neighborhoods like Copeland Manor, built between 1947 and 1949, frequently require updates to gas and electrical systems to support modern appliances, often within the original footprint. Later subdivisions from the 1990s may have more open layouts, but still benefit from reconfiguring water supply lines and improving venting for contemporary kitchen designs. The Village's upcoming lead service line replacement program beginning in 2027 is a crucial consideration for plumbing-heavy work across all eras of homes.
Kitchen remodels in Libertyville require permits for electrical, plumbing, and any structural modifications, including the removal of walls, to ensure safety and compliance with building codes. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the full permit process for your kitchen project, from initial application and plan submission to coordinating all necessary inspections with the Village’s Building 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.
