Serving Vernon Hills, IL homeowners

Vernon Hills grew in distinct waves, and remodeling here means matching the wave. 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. That mix maps cleanly to our work: kitchen and bath updates and basement finishing in the 1970s–80s housing near the mall and Big Bear Lake, and whole-home renovations, primary suites, and additions 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. Families here feed Hawthorn District 73 and Vernon Hills High School, with Metra's North Central Service running to Union Station.

Vernon Hills permits & building codes for remodeling 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.

5 Stars

After reviewing three contractors for our kitchen and first floor remodel we decided to move forward with GS Construction and were very pleased we did. From the very beginning process, Patryk was very clear and detailed about the quote and communicated next steps and expectations. Both Greg and Patryk came up with solutions when issues came up and made sure the project moved along. Overall we are very pleased with the work done and would highly recommend them for any home remodeling project.
