Serving River Grove, IL homeowners

River Grove is a compact village on the Des Plaines River in Leyden Township, incorporated in 1888 as a blue-collar railroad community and filled in through early subdivisions like the 1920s Chicago Home Gardens. That history shows in the housing stock: brick bungalows, Cape Cods, ranches, and turn-of-the-century frame homes on tight lots, where remodeling means making solid but dated floor plans live larger — opening up compact kitchens, adding a second full bath, finishing basements, and building additions where the lot allows. The village runs its own water system on Lake Michigan water and is replacing lead service lines street by street alongside its annual water-main projects, so a plumbing-heavy kitchen or bath remodel is a natural moment to check your address in the village's published service-line inventory. Triton College anchors the community, elementary students attend Rhodes 84.5 or River Grove 85.5 schools, and the River Grove Metra station offers Milwaukee District West service to Union Station.

River Grove permits & building codes for remodeling projects

River Grove sets a low bar for permits: any remodeling work valued over $100 — windows, doors, decks, concrete, and general construction, plus electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing — requires a building permit. Every contractor working in the village must also hold a current River Grove contractor license, renewed each calendar year. Permits are not issued same-day; plans go through review before pickup and payment at the Building Department on Thatcher Avenue. GS Construction manages the full permit process — application, contractor licensing, plan review, and inspection scheduling — for every River Grove project.

5 Stars

We had a fantastic experience working with Patryk and his team on our kitchen remodel. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work--and it shows in the final result. We're extremely happy with how everything turned out. They managed the project within our budget and even came up with creative solutions along the way to help us stay on track without compromising quality. On top of that, they've been responsive and proactive about coming back for minor fixes or touch-ups when needed, which speaks volumes about their integrity and commitment to their clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patryk and his team, and we fully plan to work with them again in the future.
