Basement finishing in Palatine, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Palatine and throughout Cook County. As a family-owned and operated contractor, we bring decades of experience to kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovation projects in the Palatine area. Let us help you transform your Palatine home.

Palatine's housing maps its growth rings: a core platted in 1855 around today's downtown Metra station on the UP-NW line, 1920s subdivisions like Palatine Manor, then the postwar boom that built most of the village — Winston Park platted from 1957, Reseda and Virginia Lake in the 1960s, Peppertree from 1967 onward — full of the ranches, split-levels, and two-stories we remodel most. In that stock, kitchen walls come down, hall and primary baths get rebuilt on smarter footprints, and basements become real living space (one local wrinkle: a remodel that exposes engineered wood floor joists can trigger a residential sprinkler requirement). Water is Lake Michigan supply through the Village's own system, and older homes may still have lead or galvanized service lines the Village cost-shares replacing — worth bundling with any plumbing-heavy project. With District 15 schools, Fremd and Palatine High, and Harper College anchoring family life, whole-home remodels and additions often beat moving.

Palatine permits & building codes for basement remodels

Palatine runs permitting entirely online through its Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal — paper applications are not accepted — and kitchen, bath, and basement remodels all take a standard permit, with the Village's published review goal of 10-15 business days (5 for express items like roofs and water heaters). Contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village, plans are reviewed against the 2021 codes with Illinois amendments, and sequencing matters: every trade rough inspection must pass before the rough-frame inspection, though interior-only remodels skip the plat-of-survey requirement. GS Construction manages the full permit process — CSS submittal, drawings, contractor registration, and inspections through the final certificate — on every Palatine project.

How your Palatine 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.

We had a bathroom renovation. GS Construction did a fantastic job! They led us in the right direction to choose materials for the shower and floor tiles. The installation was great. They worked on schedule and we could not be happier! Thank you GS Construction
