Serving Riverside, IL homeowners

Riverside is a National Historic Landmark from edge to edge — Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's 1869 plan gave the village its curving, gas-lit streets, dozens of small triangular parks, and a housing stock that reads like an architecture survey: 1870s Victorians from the original development, Prairie-style landmarks like Frank Lloyd Wright's Avery Coonley House, and solid 1920s brick bungalows. Remodeling here means respecting that fabric — kitchens and baths updated inside historic shells, basement build-outs beneath century-old foundations, and additions scaled to Olmsted-era lots (exterior work on designated landmark homes also gets Preservation Commission review). One practical note: Riverside distributes Chicago water, and more than half of the village's roughly 3,000 water services still have lead lines, with a village replacement program underway — worth checking before a plumbing-heavy remodel. GS Construction handles kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and whole-home renovations for families here, served by District 96 schools and the BNSF Metra stop downtown.

Riverside permits & building codes for remodeling projects

The Village of Riverside requires building permits for remodeling projects, and contractors must be registered with the village before a permit application can be filed; applications go through the Community Development Department, with plan review and inspections handled by the village's consultant, Lakeside Consultants. If a home is a designated local landmark, exterior work that needs a permit also requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Preservation Commission — interior work and painting are exempt. GS Construction manages the full permit process, from contractor registration and application through plan review, landmark coordination where it applies, and final inspections.

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.
