"Your Home Additions project deserves the best—we deliver it."

Home additions 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.

Melrose Park permits & building codes for home additions

The Village of Melrose Park requires a building permit before any construction or remodeling project begins, and every contractor on the job — general and subs alike — must hold a current Melrose Park contractor registration. The Building Department at 1000 N. 25th Avenue reviews applications and conducts rough and final inspections as the work progresses. GS Construction manages the full permit process — application, contractor registration, and inspection scheduling — for every Melrose Park project.
