Home additions in Northbrook, IL

Northbrook's housing maps to its postwar boom — the village grew from about 1,265 residents in 1940 to more than 25,000 by 1970 — so much of its stock is mid-century homes on mature lots, now joined by newer infill and rebuilds. The Village pumps its own Lake Michigan water, and only a few hundred lead service lines remain, mostly at homes built before the mid-1950s; on plumbing-heavy kitchen and bath remodels in older houses that's worth checking early, since Northbrook runs a cost-share program that reimburses up to half the private-side replacement cost. Expansion is common enough here that projects growing a home's floor area by more than 115% get their own "Major Renovation" permit category. GS Construction brings kitchens, bathrooms, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home renovations to Northbrook households, from houses near the downtown Shermer Road Metra station to the streets around Glenbrook North and Techny Prairie Park.

5 Stars

Patryk, Greg and their team were great to work with. They did our kids bathroom several years ago and we were so pleased with their work we used them again for our primary bathroom. They showed up when they were supposed to, answered calls/emails very timely, had an amazing work ethic and pride in their work. Patryk suggested adding a window that looks better than I could have imagined. They were accommodating to several tweaks to the project and absolutely wonderful. I LOVE my new bathroom. We wouldn't hesitate to use GS Construction again.
