Remodeling in Vernon Hills, IL
GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Vernon Hills and throughout Lake County. Founded by a father-and-son team, we bring decades of experience to every kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovation project. We're committed to delivering exceptional results for our Vernon Hills clients.
Vernon Hills grew in distinct waves, and remodeling here means matching the wave. This mix maps cleanly to our work, from kitchen and bath updates to whole-home renovations and additions.
The village incorporated in 1958 around a single 125-home subdivision, then boomed in the 1970s when New Century Town rose around Hawthorn Mall as a planned community of condominiums, townhomes, and single-family streets. A later wave built Gregg's Landing on the former Cuneo estate from the late 1990s — custom and semi-custom homes wrapped around White Deer Run Golf Club. Families here feed Hawthorn District 73 and Vernon Hills High School, with Metra's North Central Service running to Union Station.
Kitchen and bath updates and basement finishing are common in the 1970s–80s housing near the mall and Big Bear Lake. Whole-home renovations, primary suites, and additions are typical in Gregg's Landing homes now past the 25-year mark. One local wrinkle: Lake County Public Works, not the village, runs Vernon Hills' Lake Michigan water system, and it asks owners of homes built in 1986 or earlier to verify their service line material — worth checking before plumbing-heavy projects.
Vernon Hills' Community Development Department turns residential permits around in about 7–10 business days when plan review is needed, while simple over-the-counter permits like roofs and water heaters release immediately. The village doesn't register general contractors, but it requires copies of state roofing, plumbing, and electrical licenses for the applicable trades, a refundable completion bond, and — on projects over $100,000 — a certificate of insurance naming the village. Inspections are scheduled by phone for the next business day. GS Construction manages the full permit process, from application and bond through final inspection sign-off.
What homeowners in Vernon Hills ask for
Given the age range of many Vernon Hills homes, popular projects frequently involve opening up enclosed kitchens to create more expansive, open-concept living areas. Primary suite renovations, including updated bathrooms and walk-in closets, are also common requests. Many homeowners also seek to finish or remodel basements to add valuable living space, home offices, or entertainment areas.

For Vernon Hills homeowners, a GS Construction & Remodeling project operates under a single contract, managed by a dedicated project lead.

GS Construction & Remodeling is the best of the best. We've hired them to work on 5 different properties (4 were extensive remodels) and continue to be thrilled with their work and have referred them to friends and family. I constantly bring to them pictures/ideas from Houzz & Pinterest and ask how we can duplicate high end looks on a budget and they pull it off - magnificently - every time. Not only do they know their craft, but they have a great design sense as well and make suggestions that always enhance the project. Their communication (providing estimates for changes as we go along, keeping in touch regarding scheduling, etc.) is excellent. They're nice people and incredibly respectful too - top notch all around.
