Remodeling in Riverwoods, IL
GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Riverwoods and throughout the North Shore. As a family-owned company serving the Chicago suburbs since 2015, we bring decades of experience to every project. We specialize in transforming kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes.
Riverwoods incorporated in 1959 specifically to protect its woodlands, and that origin still shapes every remodel here. Homes sit on large wooded lots governed by the village's Tree and Woodland Protection Ordinance, so additions, decks, and exterior work get planned around protected trees from day one.
The housing stock leans mid-century — including more than 40 nature-infused modernist houses designed by architect Edward Humrich in the 1950s and '60s — alongside later ranches and custom builds along Riverwoods Road and Portwine Road. Families are served mostly by Deerfield District 109 schools and Deerfield High School, with portions attending Stevenson, and Metra's Milwaukee District North nearby in Deerfield.
Most of the village is on municipal Lake Michigan water purchased from Northbrook, but some homes still run private wells with a village-required annual test, something we confirm before a kitchen or bath project moves plumbing. GS Construction remodels with that context in mind: kitchens, bathrooms, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home renovations sympathetic to Humrich-era architecture.
The Village of Riverwoods Building Department requires permits for renovations, additions, structural changes, demolition, decks, siding, and window or exterior door replacement, with plan review handled through the office of the Village Engineer. Exterior projects also need an up-to-date plat of survey and certificates of insurance for every contractor naming the Village as additionally insured. Uniquely for Riverwoods, removing any tree or shrub larger than 1.5 inches in diameter takes a separate Tree Removal Permit reviewed by the Village Ecologist, and no more than 20 percent of a lot's protected woodland may be removed. GS Construction manages the entire permit process — building application, plans, tree review, and inspection scheduling — from start to finish.
What homeowners in Riverwoods ask for

Greg came highly recommended for my bathroom remodel. From demolition to final product, I was very happy with my choice in contractors! Greg listened to what I wanted done, made some suggestions and even changed tile layout in the tub area after I changed my mind. He wanted me to be completely happy when he was done. He always left the work area clean each day and start each day on time. Because of the workmanship, GS Construction is doing a family member's bathroom remodel. It was an easy choice!
