Basement finishing in Long Grove, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Long Grove and throughout the northern Chicago suburbs. With decades of experience, our family-owned business specializes in transforming homes in Lake County. We offer comprehensive kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations.

Long Grove has spent seventy years deliberately not looking like a standard suburb. Incorporated in 1956 behind three-acre zoning, the village still prohibits sidewalks and residential streetlights, and its 1840s German-settled crossroads downtown became Illinois' first local historic district in 1960. The homes came in waves — the village grew from about 1,200 residents in 1970 to more than 8,000 by 2010 — so most remodels here involve custom houses from the 1970s through the 2000s, whether in the gated Royal Melbourne golf community or on wooded acreage along Gilmer and Old McHenry Roads. Utilities drive the planning: only the downtown area and the late-2000s Sunset Grove development sit on the village's small municipal water system, so kitchen, bathroom, and addition projects elsewhere are engineered around private wells and septic fields from day one. GS Construction brings that context to every kitchen and bath remodel, basement build-out, addition, and whole-home renovation — for families zoned to District 96's three in-village schools and Stevenson High School.

Long Grove permits & building codes for basement remodels

The Village of Long Grove requires building permits for most residential projects, with plan review covering structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work plus zoning, Energy Conservation Code, and Village Stormwater Ordinance compliance; applications go to the Building Department at Village Hall on Old McHenry Road. Because most homes outside downtown rely on private wells and septic systems, the Lake County Health Department also reviews additions and alterations on those parcels — and adding a bedroom or expanding the footprint by more than 50 percent can require bringing the septic system up to current code. GS Construction manages the full permit process — village application, engineering and health-department coordination, and inspection scheduling — on every Long Grove project.

How your Long Grove project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

2

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

3

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

4

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

5

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

6

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

I don't even know where to begin, Patryk & Greg are just amazing! We hired them to remodel approximately 4000 sqft of a 1985 house which included an unfinished basement. The whole experience could not have been better. It took about 7 months and for most of it, we lived in the house with two children. They are incredibly professional, can troubleshoot any issue and are 100% dependable. Patryk led the project and he was very detail-oriented. Everything had a purpose and was finished with beautiful extra touches. I changed my mind frequently and they didn't miss a beat. They worked around the changes and kept moving. The materials they used and the teams they brought in were all top notch. They didn't spend money where it wasn't necessary and in fact, they were always trying to find ways to save money. Finally, they are really nice guys. Polite, respectful and very accomodating. After spending so long in my house, we (almost) miss having the around. As I mentioned, we had the whole house remodeled and its impossible to post every picture so I will showcase just a few highlights. The whole house is beautiful! Scott & I THANK YOU!!!
