Basement finishing in Long Grove, IL

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.
