Home additions in Riverdale, IL

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 home additions

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

We were so fortunate to have been directed to GS Construction (Patryk, Greg, and the crew) for our home remodel. My wife's parents did a complete first floor remodel, which turned out amazing. The attention to detail was obvious and that was enough for my wife and I to feel completely at ease when we hired GS to do our project as well. From consultation to finish, Patryk and Greg were completely professional and reliable, and able to turn our lofty vision into a reality. In fact, they employed their knowledge and expertise to make our project far better than expected. Besides a kitchen demo and remodel, essentially an entire first-floor remodel, and multiple second-floor projects, we even unexpectedly made the decision halfway through the project to completely refinish the basement and turn this portion of the home from an unusable space, or at best a storage area, to a beautiful, functional area that matches the beauty of the rest of the home. In summary, GS Construction's knowledge, workmanship, creativity, and customer service make it a pleasure to write this review and unyieldingly recommend GS Construction for a construction project of any size! Thank you, Patryk and Greg!
