Skokie Home Remodeling

GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING

GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled homes for Skokie homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.

Whole-home work lives or dies on the order things happen in. We run it as one job with one schedule and one number to call, with an owner here on site and a portal showing you the schedule, any change orders and your balance — so the trades aren't tripping over each other and you aren't running your own remodel.

  • Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
  • One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
  • Permits and inspections handled with Skokie across every trade
  • Workmanship warranty on the whole projectour commitment never expires

Whole-home 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 whole-home remodels

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

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.
