About Us
Serving River Forest with Quality Craftsmanship
GS Construction & Remodeling is a family business serving River Forest homeowners. Run by Gregory and Patryk, a father-son duo with over 40 years of combined experience.
From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, we're personally involved in your River Forest project. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients, not just beautiful spaces.
Our Mission in River Forest
To transform River Forest houses into dream homes while building genuine relationships with every homeowner we serve. We believe that a remodel should be an exciting journey, not a stressful ordeal.
With deep roots in River Forest and throughout Chicagoland, Northwest Suburbs, and North Shore, we understand the unique needs of local homeowners. From historic home renovations to modern kitchen makeovers, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to every project—big or small.
Our approach is simple: treat every home as if it were our own. That means attention to detail, transparent communication, and always being on-site to ensure everything meets our high standards.

Meet the Team
Gregory & Patryk
GS Construction & Remodeling is run by Gregory and Patryk, a father-son team with more than 40 years between them. Greg built his name installing custom cabinetry in New York City; Patryk has worked alongside him for two decades.
One of them is on your job personally — the estimate, the site visits, the walkthrough. Your proposal is an itemized scope rather than a single number, permits are ours to pull and manage, and a private client portal shows your schedule, change orders and current balance while the work runs.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Itemized scope — labor, materials, demolition and disposal, line by line
- Permits pulled and managed with your village
- Workmanship warranty, with the owners a phone call away — our commitment never expires
"The owners are on your job — that is the whole difference."
How we work in River Forest
For River Forest homeowners, GS Construction & Remodeling operates under a single contract, with one dedicated project lead overseeing all aspects. We manage all necessary permit applications and coordinate with our licensed and insured trade partners for specialized work. This streamlined process ensures efficiency and clear communication from start to finish.
What River Forest homeowners bring us
River Forest homeowners frequently request kitchen remodels that open up floor plans while respecting the home's original design. Bathroom updates, often involving historical reproductions or elegant modernizations, are also common. Basement finishing projects are popular for creating additional living space without altering the exterior.
