River Forest permits & building codes for home additions
The Village of River Forest requires building permits for remodeling work — structural, electrical, and plumbing changes included — with applications submitted through its online permit portal at riverforest.onlama.com. Homes designated as significant properties get one extra step: exterior work affecting more than 20% of a street-facing facade, or street-visible window replacement, triggers an advisory review by the Historic Preservation Commission (up to 30 days, or 7 for windows) before work begins. The Commission's recommendations are non-binding, but the review window belongs in your project schedule. GS Construction manages the full permit process — portal submission, historic-review coordination, and every required inspection.

Testimonials
Your Neighbours in River Forest Love Us

We had a truly amazing experience with GS Construction remodeling our kitchen and first floor. As remodeling novices, we connected with GS Construction through our designer and were so happy with this match made in heaven. Having heard horror stories from friends about remodels that went on forever and tales of unreliable contractors who don’t communicate, we were nervous when we started and expected the process to be long and painful. Our experience could not have been more different. Greg and Patryk were great at keeping us informed and the total amount of time from demo to the unveiling to friends and family was really reasonable at a little over 2 months. We received great personalized attention and they were great at offering ideas and trouble shooting various things that came up. But the real highlight is the quality of the work. They were so attentive and made sure that we loved every inch of our new space. We have never loved our house more!
