"Your Home Additions project deserves the best—we deliver it."

Home additions in River Grove, IL

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 home additions

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.
