Serving Riverdale, IL homeowners

Riverdale sits along the Little Calumet River just south of Chicago's city limits, and its housing stock is solidly mid-century: the median home here dates to around 1957, ranging from prewar frame and brick houses in the older blocks near the Riverdale Metra Electric station at 137th Street to the postwar single-family homes that make up most of the village, plus the Pacesetter subdivision, built in 1959, that Riverdale has worked for years to revitalize. Remodeling homes of this age is rarely just cosmetic — kitchen and bathroom projects often mean replacing original supply lines and drain stacks and upgrading undersized electrical service while the walls are open, and basement finishing near the river gets planned around moisture control first. The village runs its own water system on Lake Michigan water purchased from Chicago. GS Construction brings kitchens, baths, basements, additions, and whole-home renovations to this stock, in a community served by Dolton District 148 and General George Patton District 133 schools, with two Metra Electric stops to the Loop.

Riverdale permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Building permits in Riverdale run through the village's Inspectional Services Department at 725 W. 138th Street, and they're required for virtually any improvement or repair beyond yard work and painting — additions, garages, roofs, fences, electrical upgrades, and plumbing installations all qualify. Applications carry a $35 filing fee, with remaining permit fees set during the village's review. Contractors must also be registered with the Village of Riverdale ($175, with a surety bond and certificate of insurance on file, plus proof of state license for plumbing, electrical, and roofing work). GS Construction handles all of it — contractor registration, permit application, and inspection scheduling — as part of every Riverdale project.

5 Stars

I did not realize I haven't written a review of GS yet. We remodeled our kitchen during the summer of 2020. Patryk was outstanding. He was even ahead of our estimated timeline by the end of the project (we were held up a little because of our cabinets - Patryk obviously couldn't control that, but he did make sure that other tasks were completed so that when the cabinets did come in, we still basically finished on time). The professionalism was top notch, and the quality was outstanding. I would recommend GS for any project.
