Remodeling in Oak Park, IL

GS Construction provides remodeling services to homeowners in Oak Park and throughout Cook County. We offer complete design and renovation services, bringing decades of experience to every kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home project in Oak Park.

Oak Park may be the most architecturally protected place we work. Three local historic districts — Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture, Ridgeland-Oak Park, and Gunderson — cover much of the village, and the Wright district holds the world's largest concentration of Prairie School homes, anchored by the Wright Home and Studio and UNESCO-listed Unity Temple. Much of the housing predates 1940: Victorians, stucco Prairie designs, brick bungalows, and two-flats with plaster walls, original trim, and aging mechanicals. GS Construction works with that fabric rather than against it — kitchens reworked within a landmark envelope, baths and basements modernized around vintage wiring and plumbing, whole-home renovations that keep street-facing character ready for historic review. On the utility side, the village buys Lake Michigan water pretreated at Chicago's Jardine plant, and older blocks may still carry private-side lead service lines — the village replaces the public portion at no cost, so we scope the owner's parkway-to-house run alongside major plumbing work.

Oak Park permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Oak Park routes permit applications through the village's Development Customer Services Department, and if a home sits in one of the three local historic districts — Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture, Ridgeland-Oak Park, or Gunderson — or is a designated landmark, exterior alterations also require a certificate of appropriateness reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. That review targets exterior work, so interior kitchen and bath remodels typically proceed on standard building permits, while structural, electrical, and plumbing changes are all permitted and inspected. GS Construction manages the full permit process, historic-review submittals included, for every Oak Park project.

I cannot say enough good things about GS Constructions / Greg and Patryk Szady. From the start, their proposal and cost estimate was broken down, item by item, which most contractors don't do. It allowed us to alter our project to fit our budget. Patryk also took the time to explain costs to us and help us get what we wanted for the price we could afford. Once we hired GS, they kept to their timeline, and they focused on our project. Each day we knew when to expect workers (who came on time!) and at the end of each day, we could see real progress. The crews that came to do the work were courteous, respectful of our space, and they cleaned up after themselves. Patryk and Greg didn't just show up once or twice; they were there throughout the project, and were alway helpful in answering questions, addressing concerns, and making it feel like my project was their main focus. Most importantly, the finished product was beyond our expectations. Patryk and Greg really pay attention to detail and are willing to go the extra mile to make things perfect. From exact tile or light placement, to thinking about how cabinets will sit near a doorway, to vent color, they thought of and addressed issues I hadn't even considered, and they made it look perfect, even when that meant more work for them. When I picked a paint color I ended up not loving, they offered to repaint even though it was my mistake. When I picked a wall mounted faucet known for being difficult, they spent hours trouble shooting water pressure and placement in order to get it just right. When the project was all done, Patryk and Greg followed up a few weeks later to make sure we were happy, and come back and address small punch list items that we realized only after living in the space again. It is this kind of attention to satisfaction and attention to detail that is rare to find in this industry, and it makes Patryk and Greg an absolute pleasure to work with. I have recommended them to others we have been equally happy. TL;DR: GS Construction was on time and on budget, and their prices are competitive and fair. Their work was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't be more pleased. After this experience, I honestly would not use anyone else. I will be a returning customer for life.
