Remodeling in Skokie, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Skokie and throughout Cook County. As a family-owned business with deep roots in the Chicago suburbs, we understand the unique needs of Skokie residents. Our team brings decades of experience to every project, ensuring quality and satisfaction.

Skokie built out fast in the postwar decades — the era it earned the nickname "World's Largest Village" — so most blocks are lined with the georgians, ranches, and split-levels of the 1940s and '50s boom, joined by townhomes and condos near downtown Skokie's Oakton Street corridor and the CTA Yellow Line, the Skokie Swift. That stock shapes our work here: opening up compartmentalized postwar kitchens, adding a second full bath to a georgian, finishing basements, and designing additions when a ranch or split-level runs out of room. Skokie has received Lake Michigan water purchased from Evanston since 1944, and homes of this vintage can still have lead service lines — the Village's cost-share program caps a homeowner's private-side replacement at $3,090, worth checking during any plumbing-heavy remodel. Families here feed Niles North and Niles West high schools, both inside the village, and Old Orchard anchors the retail end of town.

Skokie permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Most remodeling projects in Skokie require a building permit from the Village's Community Development Department, submitted through the online Skokie Permits portal. Both homeowner and contractor sign the application, contractors must be licensed and bonded, and plans plus a plat of survey are typically required. Small projects are usually reviewed in 3–5 business days, while larger work may also need Appearance Commission or zoning review before a permit is issued. GS Construction manages the entire permit process — application, plan submission, and inspection scheduling — for every Skokie project.

My designer and I chose GS Construction for the rehab of my kitchen and other small projects in my newly purchased condo. They were recomended by a client of the designer, Mark Zancanaro Design, who raved about their professionalism and communication, as well as their skill. It was the best decision I made. Greg and Patryk were prompt, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. They listened to what I wanted and their attention to detail was greatly appreciated. They were not satisfied until everything was absoutley perfect. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled construction company to complete any size project in their home or office. They will definitley be called for any future projects in my new home.
