Basement finishing in Port Barrington, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Port Barrington and throughout McHenry County. With decades of combined experience, we help Port Barrington families create the homes of their dreams. From kitchen upgrades to whole-house renovations, we're ready to help.

Port Barrington began in 1927 as Fox River Valley Gardens, a Fox River village whose original section still holds roughly 200 homes on quarter-acre lots along the man-made Nielsen's Channels; newer neighborhoods — River Walk, Port Barrington Shores, and the early-2000s Deer Grove and Deer Grove North — came as the village grew. Remodeling spans both eras: opening up compact original-section homes near the water and updating kitchens and baths in the newer subdivisions. Homes here draw water from private wells — Lake and McHenry County health departments handle well permits and testing — while sanitary sewer runs through the Northern Moraine Wastewater Reclamation District, so plumbing-heavy projects get planned around both from day one. Near the river, floodplain review shapes additions and lower levels. GS Construction builds that context into kitchens, bathrooms, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home remodels. Families are served by Wauconda District 118 schools, with Metra's UP-NW line a short drive away at Fox River Grove and Cary.

Port Barrington permits & building codes for basement remodels

The Village of Port Barrington requires permits for new construction, additions, remodeling, electrical work, HVAC and water-heater replacement, roofing, fences, and even tree removal, all reviewed by the village Building and Zoning Officer. The village spans Lake and McHenry counties, so when a project needs a county permit — such as a health-department well permit or a Northern Moraine Wastewater Reclamation District sewer approval — the approved copy must be presented before the village reviews the application, and the village engineer signs off on any work in the floodplain or floodway before a permit can be issued. GS Construction manages the entire permit process for Port Barrington homeowners, from village application and county coordination through final inspections.

How your Port Barrington 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.

Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.
