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

Home additions in Riverside, IL

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 home additions

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.
