Lincolnshire kitchen, bathroom & whole-home remodeling

Lincolnshire began as a 1955 subdivision — Ladd Enterprises' 280 acres carved from the historic Half Day settlement — and grew into a village of wooded, half-acre-and-larger lots concentrated east of the Des Plaines River. The earliest homes date to 1956, most of the village filled in through the 1960s–80s, and later luxury builds like Whytegate rose on the former Florsheim estate along Riverwoods Road. With Stevenson High School and District 103 schools in town and Metra's North Central Service at nearby Prairie View.

In the older stock, kitchen and bathroom renovations often mean opening up compartmentalized floor plans; the generous lots leave room for additions, and basements convert well to finished living space. Plumbing-heavy projects start from a solid base — the Village has supplied Lake Michigan water purchased from Highland Park since 1982 and reports no lead service lines identified to date. GS Construction plans kitchens, baths, basements, additions, and whole-home remodels around how these houses actually live.

The Village of Lincolnshire requires a building permit before any construction, alteration, addition, or demolition — including interior remodels that touch structure, electrical, plumbing, or mechanicals — reviewed by the Community and Economic Development Department under the 2018 International Residential Code with local amendments. Village Code sets a three-week turnaround for residential permits, with initial plan-review comments targeted within 10 business days. Lincolnshire does not license contractors at the village level, but plumbers and roofers must hold Illinois state licenses, and electricians must be licensed through a recognized municipality. GS Construction manages the full permit process — application, plan sets, revisions, and inspection scheduling — for every Lincolnshire project.
