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.
How your Skokie project runs
ProcessThe same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.
Free in-home estimate
Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.
Itemized scope & contract
Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.
Design & selections
Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.
Permits & scheduling
We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.
The build, owner-supervised
Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.

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.
