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

Home additions in Skokie, IL

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 home additions

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.
