- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
- Permits and inspections handled with North Barrington across every trade
- Workmanship warranty on the whole project — our commitment never expires
"One scope, one schedule, one point of contact."

Whole-home remodeling in North Barrington, IL
Whole-home remodeling in North Barrington often transforms the classic layouts of 1950s and 60s ranch and split-level homes, or updates the more expansive footprints of 1980s and 90s custom builds. We frequently reconfigure enclosed living areas for open-concept flow, especially connecting kitchens and family rooms that were originally compartmentalized. For homes with multiple levels, this can involve rethinking staircases and interior walls to improve sightlines and natural light distribution across the entire dwelling. The goal is typically a cohesive aesthetic and improved functionality that respects the home's original character while bringing it firmly into the present day. This trade often addresses the entire envelope, from interior finishes and fixtures to exterior elements that enhance curb appeal and energy efficiency.
What North Barrington homeowners ask for
North Barrington homeowners frequently request comprehensive interior overhauls that unify disparate styles accumulated over decades, often involving full replacement of flooring, trim, and doors throughout the entire home. We also see strong demand for integrating smart home technology seamlessly into existing structures, from lighting and climate control to entertainment systems. Many projects also prioritize creating better connection to the expansive outdoor spaces common in the village, through new patio doors, larger windows, or redesigned transitions.
About North Barrington
North Barrington's housing reads in layers, from 1926 summer cottages to late-1980s golf-course communities. Remodeling here starts with water, as nearly every home runs on a private well and septic field.
The 1926 Biltmore Country Estates subdivision ringed Honey Lake with summer cottages, many adapted into year-round homes after World War II. Late-1950s zoning set one-, two-, and five-acre lots to keep the village semi-rural. The Wynstone golf-course community grew around its Jack Nicklaus course from the late 1980s. Most of the village is in Barrington 220 schools — North Barrington Elementary is the only public school inside the village — and Metra's UP-NW line is minutes south in Barrington.
The adaptation of 1926 Biltmore Country Estates summer cottages into year-round homes means that whole-home remodels often encounter original structures not designed for modern loads, requiring careful structural assessment when opening up floor plans. For late-1950s homes on one-, two-, and five-acre lots, expanding the footprint or reconfiguring interiors must account for the original electrical and plumbing systems, which may not support contemporary demands without significant upgrades. In Wynstone homes from the late 1980s, whole-home remodels benefit from more contemporary layouts but still require updates to finishes and systems to meet current family needs. With no municipal system for most homes, any whole-home remodel involving plumbing, especially in converted cottages or homes on larger lots, necessitates early consideration of private well equipment and septic field capacity. Coordinating a whole-home remodel while families live through it on properties with private wells and septic fields requires meticulous planning to minimize disruption to essential services.
Whole-home remodels in North Barrington frequently involve structural changes, triggering review for beam replacements, wall removals, or new openings, which require engineered plans and specific structural inspections. GS Construction manages all phased permit applications and coordinates every required inspection with the Village's Building Department, ensuring full compliance throughout the extensive project.

Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.
