Skokie Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens 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.
A Skokie kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Skokie permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Itemized scope — labor, materials, demolition and disposal, line by line
- Building, plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Skokie
- Workmanship warranty on every kitchen — our commitment never expires
"Typically 8–12 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Kitchen remodeling in Skokie, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Skokie frequently involves transforming the compartmentalized layouts common in 1940s and '50s Georgian and ranch homes. These projects often entail opening up walls to create more fluid transitions between cooking, dining, and living areas. For townhomes and condos near the Skokie Swift, kitchen updates prioritize maximizing efficiency and storage within existing footprints, often introducing contemporary finishes and smart appliance integrations. We frequently update kitchens that have seen little change since original construction, bringing them into the 21st century with modern aesthetics and functionality. Our work typically involves a complete overhaul of cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances, along with significant electrical and plumbing upgrades.
What Skokie homeowners ask for
Skokie homeowners frequently request island installations or peninsula additions to improve workflow and provide casual seating in their newly opened kitchen spaces. We also see strong demand for expanding pantry storage, whether through custom built-ins or reconfiguring existing closet spaces. Another common request is for enhanced lighting solutions, moving beyond single overhead fixtures to include recessed lighting, under-cabinet illumination, and decorative pendants.
About Skokie
Skokie built out fast in the postwar decades, so most blocks are lined with the georgians, ranches, and split-levels of the 1940s and '50s boom. That stock shapes our work here.
Skokie earned the nickname "World's Largest Village" in the postwar decades. 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. Skokie has received Lake Michigan water purchased from Evanston since 1944. Families here feed Niles North and Niles West high schools, both inside the village, and Old Orchard anchors the retail end of town.
The prevalence of 1940s and '50s Georgians, ranches, and split-levels in Skokie means kitchen remodels frequently encounter original footprints with separate kitchen spaces, often requiring wall removal to achieve open-concept layouts. Homes from this postwar boom era may have original gas and electrical service that needs updating to support modern appliances and lighting. The installation of Lake Michigan water since 1944 ensures a consistent water supply, but the vintage of these homes means lead service lines may still be present, warranting inspection and potential replacement during plumbing-heavy remodels. Venting solutions in these older homes often need to be upgraded to accommodate modern cooking demands and improve air quality. For townhomes and condos near the Skokie Swift, kitchen remodels often focus on optimizing existing layouts due to space constraints, requiring careful planning for appliance placement and storage.
Kitchen remodels in Skokie require permits for electrical, plumbing, and any structural changes, triggering inspections at various stages to ensure safety and code compliance. Moving gas lines also necessitates specific permits and inspections. GS Construction & Remodeling manages all permit applications, plan submissions, and coordinates inspection scheduling for your Skokie kitchen 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.
