Basement finishing in Melrose Park, IL

Melrose Park is one of the west suburbs' oldest villages — incorporated in 1882 and renamed Melrose Park in 1893 — but much of its housing dates to the boom after World War II, when manufacturers like International Harvester and Zenith drew thousands of new residents and subdivisions like Winston Park filled former farm fields with Ashley, Beverly, and Canterbury model homes between 1952 and 1964. GS Construction plans remodels around that midcentury stock: kitchen and bathroom renovations that open up compact postwar layouts, basement build-outs, and additions that add the second bath or primary suite these floor plans never included. The village runs its own water system on Lake Michigan water purchased from Chicago and publishes a lead service line inventory, so we check service-line status early whenever a project moves plumbing. Three elementary districts (89, 88, and 83) serve different parts of town, teens head to Proviso East or West, and the Melrose Park Metra station reaches Ogilvie in under half an hour on the UP-W line.
