- One itemized scope and one schedule across every room
- Permits and inspections handled with Vernon Hills across every trade
- Workmanship warranty on the whole project — our commitment never expires

Whole-home remodeling in Vernon Hills, IL
Whole-home remodeling in Vernon Hills often centers on revitalizing the village's diverse housing stock, particularly the 1970s and 80s homes near Hawthorn Mall and Big Bear Lake. These projects frequently involve updating dated floor plans, moving walls to create more cohesive living spaces, and addressing original materials that have reached the end of their lifespan. We commonly see homeowners seeking to modernize interiors, from kitchens and bathrooms to living areas, transforming homes that are now 40-50 years old into contemporary spaces that better suit today's families. For homes in Gregg's Landing, built from the late 90s, whole-home renovations often focus on enhancing existing layouts, adding high-end finishes, and expanding functionality as families evolve. A typical whole-home job here might entail a complete gut and remodel of the main living areas, often including a primary suite refresh and basement finishing, to achieve a unified aesthetic and improved flow throughout the entire property.
What Vernon Hills homeowners ask for
Vernon Hills homeowners undertaking whole-home remodels frequently request comprehensive interior transformations, often targeting a more open-concept main floor by integrating previously separate kitchen, dining, and living areas. Many also prioritize creating dedicated home office spaces or multi-functional bonus rooms within their existing footprint. There's also a strong demand for cohesive design schemes that tie together updated finishes and fixtures across all renovated spaces, ensuring a harmonious aesthetic from entryway to primary suite.
About Vernon Hills
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.
The initial 1958 subdivision and the 1970s New Century Town homes often present opportunities to open up floor plans, requiring careful consideration of original structural elements and potential electrical and plumbing upgrades. For these earlier homes, particularly those built in 1986 or earlier, verifying service line material with Lake County Public Works is a critical first step for any plumbing-heavy whole-home project. Whole-home remodels in Gregg's Landing, built from the late 1990s, typically involve enhancing existing layouts and integrating modern finishes, often with less concern for fundamental structural or utility overhauls. Sequencing whole-home projects in the older Hawthorn Mall and Big Bear Lake areas often means preparing for extensive utility work, while Gregg's Landing renovations might focus more on cosmetic and functional enhancements for families living through the process.
Whole-home remodeling projects in Vernon Hills often trigger structural plan reviews for load-bearing wall modifications or significant layout changes, requiring professional engineering stamps. GS Construction & Remodeling manages all necessary applications, including those for structural work, and coordinates all required inspections with the village's Community Development Department.

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.
