Northfield Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Northfield homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.
A Northfield kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Northfield permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Itemized scope — labor, materials, demolition and disposal, line by line
- Building, plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Northfield
- Workmanship warranty on every kitchen — our commitment never expires
"Typically 8–12 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."
Permits in Northfield: Remodeling projects in Northfield go through the Village's Community Development Department at 361 Happ Road, which handles plan review, permit issuance, and inspections.

Kitchen remodeling in Northfield, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Northfield frequently involves updating spaces from the 1950s and 60s, where original layouts often feature separate, enclosed kitchens. Many mid-century ranches and classic colonials present opportunities to transform these more compartmentalized designs into open-concept living areas. A typical project often entails removing walls to integrate the kitchen with dining or living spaces, reflecting a desire for greater flow and modern entertaining capabilities. We commonly encounter kitchens with original cabinetry, dated appliances, and linoleum or vinyl flooring, which are replaced with contemporary finishes, high-efficiency appliances, and durable surfaces. Our work in Northfield focuses on maximizing both aesthetics and functionality within these established home styles, carefully considering the structural implications of opening up an older floor plan.
What Northfield homeowners ask for
Northfield homeowners frequently request expanded kitchen islands that double as dining or prep areas, often incorporating built-in appliances like beverage fridges. Storage solutions are also a high priority, with many seeking custom pantry systems or pull-out shelving to declutter and organize. We also see strong demand for integrated smart home technology, from voice-activated lighting to connected appliance suites, enhancing convenience in their newly remodeled kitchens.
About Northfield
Northfield's housing stock is largely a postwar story: most homes here date from the 1950s onward, spanning mid-century ranches and classic colonials to custom contemporaries on generous wooded lots.
Northfield's housing stock is largely a postwar story: most homes here date from the 1950s onward, spanning mid-century ranches and classic colonials to custom contemporaries on generous wooded lots — including a small enclave of Carl Koch's prefab Techbuilt homes off Old Willow Road. Daily life centers on the Happ Road Village Center just west of the Edens, with Sunset Ridge District 29 schools and New Trier's freshman campus right in town.
The prevalence of mid-century ranches means kitchens often have original footprints with segregated layouts, necessitating wall removal for open concepts. Classic colonials from the same era present similar opportunities to integrate kitchen and dining spaces, requiring careful planning for structural modifications. Homes, including Carl Koch's prefab Techbuilt designs, will often have original gas and electrical service, which need upgrades to support modern appliances and lighting. Venting systems in these postwar homes frequently require modernization or re-routing when kitchen layouts are altered. Finally, the Village's Lake Michigan water supply through Winnetka means older homes may have lead service lines, making a kitchen remodel an opportune time to address water supply line replacement.
Kitchen remodeling in Northfield involves electrical and plumbing inspections, especially when moving fixtures or adding new outlets, along with review for gas line work if relocating ranges. Structural changes, such as removing load-bearing walls to open up a floor plan, require specific engineering plans and additional building permit reviews, all managed by GS Construction & Remodeling.

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
