Long Grove Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Long Grove 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.
A Long Grove kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Long Grove permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.

Kitchen remodeling in Long Grove, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Long Grove often involves transforming spaces within custom homes from the 1970s to the 2000s, many of which feature more traditional, often enclosed layouts. We frequently update kitchens in homes around Long Grove Lakes or Hidden Lake Estates, where early designs might have separated the kitchen from dining and living areas. For these residences, a typical kitchen remodel often opens up the floor plan, integrating the kitchen more seamlessly into the home's primary living spaces. This shift creates a more expansive, modern feel, particularly for homes built before the open-concept trend became widespread. Whether it’s a home near Royal Melbourne or one on acreage along Gilmer Road, our projects focus on enhancing functionality and aesthetic flow within these established properties, ensuring the new kitchen aligns with contemporary living while honoring the home's original character.
What Long Grove homeowners ask for
Long Grove homeowners frequently request larger kitchen islands for entertaining and meal prep, often replacing smaller, less functional designs common in older custom builds. We also see strong demand for expanded pantry solutions and integrated smart appliance systems, particularly in homes from the 1980s and 90s that are ready for a technological update. Another common request is for enhanced natural light, often achieved through larger windows or improved lighting schemes, especially in kitchens that were originally designed with fewer or smaller windows.
About Long Grove
Long Grove has spent seventy years deliberately not looking like a standard suburb, a character deeply ingrained in its homes and remodeling needs. This means its diverse housing stock offers unique opportunities and considerations for any remodeling project.
Incorporated in 1956 behind three-acre zoning, the village still prohibits sidewalks and residential streetlights, fostering a rural aesthetic that homeowners cherish. Its 1840s German-settled crossroads downtown, anchored by landmarks like the Robert Parker Coffin covered bridge and Long Grove Community Church, became Illinois' first local historic district in 1960.
The village’s housing stock came in waves, creating a diverse range of remodeling opportunities. Long Grove grew from about 1,200 residents in 1970 to more than 8,000 by 2010. This rapid growth meant an influx of custom houses primarily from the 1970s through the 2000s, often built on expansive, wooded lots. Many of these homes, whether in the upscale Royal Melbourne golf community or on acreage along Gilmer and Old McHenry Roads, were designed with more traditional layouts. Early 1970s and 80s homes might feature smaller, enclosed kitchens or less elaborate primary suites.
The rapid growth of custom houses from the 1970s through the 2000s in Long Grove means many kitchens were originally designed with traditional, often enclosed layouts, presenting opportunities for open-concept remodels. Early 1970s and 80s homes, which may feature smaller kitchens, often require significant reconfigurations of original footprints, including modifications to walls between kitchen and dining or family rooms. Given that much of the village relies on private wells and septic fields, kitchen remodels must carefully consider water supply lines and plumbing system capacities from the outset. Venting solutions often need to be integrated into existing structural frameworks, especially in homes built on expansive, wooded lots that predate modern kitchen ventilation standards. Electrical service and gas lines in these established properties frequently require upgrades to accommodate contemporary appliances and kitchen designs, ensuring functionality aligns with current homeowner needs.
For kitchen remodeling in Long Grove, permits are essential for any electrical, plumbing, or structural changes, including modifications to gas lines or alterations to load-bearing walls. GS Construction manages the full permit application process with the Village of Long Grove, coordinating all necessary inspections for these critical components.

Testimonials
Your Neighbours in Long Grove Love Us
Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
We learned of GS Construction through acquaintances who had hired them for two kitchen remodels, and subsequently hired them for our new hardwood oak floors, kitchen remodel, and conversion of a half bath to a full bath. Greg and Patryk were fantastic and so was everyone on their team. Incredible workmanship, respect, and attention to detail. Every project will have a few unexpected curveballs, but not every project will have a contractor who deals with them so seamlessly. We were proactively told of any timeline adjustments or accelerations and always kept in the loop. The level of communication was fantastic. We are extremely happy with our remodeled home and would definitely hire GS Construction again!
