Kitchen remodeling in Vernon Hills, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Vernon Hills often centers on revitalizing spaces from the village's distinct growth periods. Homes in the 1970s and 80s subdivisions around Hawthorn Mall frequently feature enclosed, galley-style kitchens, ripe for opening up into adjacent dining or living areas. In contrast, properties in Gregg's Landing, now reaching the 25-year mark, might involve updating original builder-grade finishes with more contemporary designs and higher-end materials, or reconfiguring layouts to enhance flow for modern family life. A typical kitchen remodel here transforms a dated or inefficient space into a bright, functional hub that complements the home's overall aesthetic and accommodates today's lifestyle, often involving significant layout changes.
What Vernon Hills homeowners ask for
Vernon Hills homeowners frequently request larger kitchen islands that incorporate seating for casual dining and entertaining, a significant upgrade from older, smaller peninsula designs. Many also prioritize integrating smart appliances and advanced storage solutions like pantry pull-outs and soft-close drawers to maximize utility. Another common request is for enhanced lighting schemes, moving beyond single overhead fixtures to include recessed lighting, under-cabinet illumination, and decorative pendants.
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.
What that means for kitchen remodeling in Vernon Hills: The 1970s boom around Hawthorn Mall often means original kitchen footprints were enclosed, requiring wall removal to open up spaces into adjacent dining or family rooms. Homes from the 1958 subdivision or the 1970s–80s housing near the mall may have gas and electrical services that need upgrading to accommodate modern appliances. Venting in these older homes is frequently inadequate for today's cooking needs, often requiring new ductwork. Water supply lines in homes built in 1986 or earlier, particularly relevant due to Lake County Public Works' system, should be verified before plumbing-heavy projects. Gregg's Landing homes, now past the 25-year mark, may have layouts that can be reconfigured to enhance flow for modern family life, often involving significant layout changes to original builder-grade designs.
Significant kitchen remodels in Vernon Hills, particularly those involving changes to electrical circuits, plumbing layouts, gas lines for new appliances, or modifications to load-bearing walls for an open-concept design, require plan review and inspections from the Community Development Department. GS Construction & Remodeling expertly manages all permit applications and coordinates necessary inspections for these specialized trade requirements.

Our project turned out better than we expected and as things were going along, we added more projects. Patryk, Greg and their team did a fantastic job. They were always so nice to work with, even suggesting things which was helpful. They never left a project until they thought it was perfect. We did a full kitchen remodel, even closing off a window to move a fridge and pantry to the other side to allow more cabinets and much needed counter space. They widen the entrance and the kitchen seems so much bigger. We think it’s Beautiful! They did laminated floors throughout the first floor, painted all walls and new baseboards. They created a wine bar which was just a cubby hole. They put in a pantry like cubby hole in our laundry room and added cabinets and above wall unit. One of the projects we had them add is new wooden stairs to the 2nd floor, white spindles and railing that curves instead of a wall and laminate floors on the 2nd floor. Other odd and ends that they never hesitated to do. We appreciate all they have done in our home, To us, it’s amazing how nice it is and how it should have been all the years we have lived here. Its exciting to show it off, it feels like a new house. These guys are amazing and would definately recommend them to anyone. Very reliable and easy to get in contact with when needed.
