Home additions in Morton Grove, IL
Expanding a home in Morton Grove often means thoughtfully extending a mid-century footprint. Many residences built in the post-war boom offer solid foundations but compact interior layouts, making additions a popular choice for families needing more space without moving. Whether adding a second story to a ranch or extending a living area, the goal is typically to integrate new construction seamlessly with the existing structure. This involves careful consideration of the original architectural style, ensuring the addition complements the home's character rather than clashing with it. From foundational work to roofing tie-ins, each project aims to enhance functionality and aesthetic appeal while respecting the established neighborhood feel.
What Morton Grove homeowners ask for
Morton Grove homeowners frequently request family room expansions, creating larger gathering spaces often adjacent to the kitchen. Second-story additions are common for single-story ranches, providing additional bedrooms or a primary suite to accommodate growing families. Mudroom additions are also popular, particularly for homes with direct garage access, offering practical entry points and storage solutions.
About Morton Grove
Morton Grove filled in fast after World War II, so most remodels here start with a mid-century house: sensible footprint, compact kitchen, a basement waiting to be finished.
Morton Grove filled in fast after World War II — about 2,000 residents in 1940 became more than 20,000 by 1960 once the Edens Expressway cut the commute. The oldest blocks date to the village's rail-town years; it incorporated along the Milwaukee Road line in 1895. Commuters get a Metra stop on the Milwaukee District North line, and Sawmill Station now anchors Dempster and Waukegan.
The rapid post-war growth means many homes are mid-century, often on lots with established setbacks that additions must respect. Older rail-town era homes from the 1895 incorporation may have unique lot configurations requiring careful planning for expansions. Tying into existing rooflines and foundations is crucial, particularly for the numerous 1950s homes that contribute to the village's housing stock. The village's Building Department will closely examine how additions integrate with these existing structures, ensuring continuity in architectural style and structural integrity. Given the pre-1960 construction of many homes, plumbing considerations for additions should also include checking for potential lead service lines during any remodel.
For home additions in Morton Grove, the village's Building Department meticulously reviews plans for structural integrity, foundation details, and how new roofs integrate with existing ones. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly navigates these specific requirements, managing all applications and coordinating the necessary inspections from start to finish.

We cannot say enough good things about GS Construction and about Greg and Patryk. We hired them on a strong recommendation from a friend and are very pleased with the results. Our project included remodeling a kitchen and master bathroom and adding wood floors to several rooms in our condo. We had definite ideas of what we wanted since we have done many remodeling projects in several previous homes, but both Patryk and Greg added great value with suggestions and ideas of their own based on their experience and talent. Their follow through was excellent and we feel confident that if anything needs attention, they will be there to make it right. P.S. They did a great clean up at the end of the project......i
