Whole-home remodeling in South Barrington, IL
Whole-home remodeling in South Barrington often involves updating substantial custom residences built from the 1970s through the early 2000s, many of which feature more compartmentalized layouts common to their era. These projects frequently target transforming formal living and dining rooms into expansive, open-concept spaces that better suit modern family living and entertaining. We often see requests to integrate existing sunrooms or three-season porches into the main living area, expanding the footprint and natural light. Beyond aesthetic updates, these comprehensive renovations address functional elements, from reimagining entire floor plans to enhancing energy efficiency across the property. Our work in South Barrington ensures these homes retain their grandeur while gaining contemporary comfort and functionality.
What South Barrington homeowners ask for
South Barrington homeowners undertaking whole-home remodels frequently seek to modernize outdated kitchens and primary suites while simultaneously reconfiguring main floor layouts. A common request involves removing walls to connect kitchens with family rooms, often incorporating large islands and dedicated butler's pantries for seamless entertaining. Many also desire to update secondary bathrooms and laundry rooms to match the higher finishes introduced in the main living areas, ensuring a consistent design aesthetic throughout the entire home.
About South Barrington
South Barrington is a village of custom homes on generous lots — minimum lot zoning of one and a half acres has shaped it since incorporation in 1959. Remodeling here means working with substantial custom-built houses.
Since incorporation in 1959, South Barrington has counted 44 subdivisions and roughly 43 private lakes and ponds. These include communities like The Glen, The Coves, Sunset Ridge Farms, and South Barrington Lakes, plus the newer Woods of South Barrington and its 55-plus Regency neighborhood. Families are largely in Barrington 220 schools — Barbara B. Rose Elementary is right in town — with Pace I-90 Express service at Barrington Road and Metra's UP-NW line in nearby Barrington.
Whole-home remodeling in South Barrington, particularly in communities like The Glen, The Coves, and Sunset Ridge Farms, often involves updating custom-built houses with layouts designed before modern open concepts, requiring careful structural planning. For most homes in these subdivisions, kitchen and bathroom remodels must account for private well and septic systems, influencing plumbing reroutes and fixture placement. In newer areas like The Woods of South Barrington and its Regency neighborhood, projects may involve integrating more contemporary construction with Village water and sewer systems. The presence of numerous private lakes and ponds suggests varying soil conditions and potential for water-related considerations in basement build-outs and additions. Sequencing a family living through a whole-home remodel requires meticulous planning to minimize disruption, especially when working with existing well and septic infrastructure for essential services.
Whole-home remodels in South Barrington require careful coordination with the Village's Building and Engineering office for structural changes, significant electrical or plumbing reroutes, and any exterior alterations. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly manages all permit applications and schedules necessary inspections, from foundation and framing through electrical, plumbing, and final occupancy, ensuring your project meets all local building codes.

GS Construction was the contractor recommended to us for our remodeling project by our designer, Jenn Peterson of J. Peterson Design. The project involved gutting most of the first floor and doing a complete remodel of the kitchen and family room on a 53 year-old home. We could not be more pleased with the work, responsiveness, timeliness and the outcome. Greg and Patryk (Greg's son) are great people. They worked seamlessly with Jenn and had no issue with working to change some of the plans on the fly. They identified some structural issues natural to an older home and resolved them quickly and in very cost-effective ways. We had more contact with Patryk, who walked us through the project step by step from beginning to end. He was always available to talk to us and kept the project on schedule. Any change orders or other modifications were handled quickly and professionally. We recommend GC Construction without any reservations. They do great work and were fun to work with as well. Jim and Dana P The quality of the workmanship was first-rate and our space is exactly what we were hoping for. They were very reasonably priced and
