Northlake Home Remodeling

GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING

GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled homes for Northlake 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.

Whole-home work lives or dies on the order things happen in. We run it as one job with one schedule and one number to call, with an owner here on site and a portal showing you the schedule, any change orders and your balance — so the trades aren't tripping over each other and you aren't running your own remodel.

  • Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
  • One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
  • Permits and inspections handled with Northlake across every trade
  • Workmanship warranty on the whole projectour commitment never expires

Whole-home remodeling in Northlake, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Northlake and across Leyden Township. We are a family-owned and operated contractor specializing in kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. With decades of experience, we bring quality craftsmanship to every Northlake project.

Northlake's housing story is unusually specific: beginning in the late 1930s, the Midland Development Company sold "semi-finished" Cape Cod and ranch houses near North Avenue and Wolf Road that buyers finished themselves, and after incorporating in 1949 the city filled out through the 1950s and '60s, when the Automatic Electric telephone plant arrived and industry settled the west side while homes stayed east. The result is a town of compact postwar Cape Cods and ranches on modest lots — a natural fit for what GS Construction does: opening up small kitchens, updating tight bathrooms, finishing basements into real living space, and taking on whole-home remodels or additions when the footprint runs out. Worth knowing: Northlake runs its own Lake Michigan water system and is replacing the city's remaining lead service lines at no cost to homeowners — check your line before plumbing-heavy work. Families feed Mannheim District 83 schools and West Leyden High School, with the I-294/North Avenue interchange minutes away.

Northlake permits & building codes for whole-home remodels

Remodeling permits in Northlake go through the City of Northlake Building Department (708-343-8700), and every contractor and subcontractor listed on a permit must carry a current city contractor registration — an annual $100 license backed by a $10,000 bond and a certificate of insurance naming the City. On pre-1978 homes, which covers most of Northlake's postwar housing stock, the city requires proof of EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) certification before it issues a remodeling permit. GS Construction manages the entire permit process for Northlake projects — registration paperwork, application submission, and inspection coordination included.

How your Northlake project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

2

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

3

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

4

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

5

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

6

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

Testimonials

Your Neighbours in Northlake Love Us

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.

Greg and Patryk do amazing work and are incredible to work with! GS Construction completed two extensive bathroom renovations for us, including completely reconfiguring layouts and expanding one. Both bathrooms are absolutely beautiful, and they have significantly improved our family's quality of life in our home. Patryk and Greg are great communicators, take pride in their work, and have good attention to detail. Throughout the project, they really listened to us, took the time to understand what we wanted, kept progress going in a timely manner, and provided expert advice/suggestions and help on specific questions along the way. Every one of their team members did high-quality work. We couldn't be happier with the end result, and definitely will hire them for future renovations!
