Home additions in Western Springs, IL

Western Springs grew in distinct rings: Victorian-era Old Town from the 1870s around the landmark 1892 limestone water tower, Field Park and Ridge Acres platted from land Marshall Field once held, Forest Hills with its deep front lawns, and the postwar Ridgewood and Springdale neighborhoods built on farmland between 1955 and 1973 — plus Timber Trails, new construction on the former country club site since 2005. That range maps neatly to what GS Construction does: kitchen and bath renovations in century-old Old Town houses, basement build-outs and additions in mid-century brick homes, and whole-home updates for families staying near District 101's three elementary schools, McClure Junior High, and Lyons Township High School's South Campus. One local wrinkle: the village pumps its own deep-well water through a reverse-osmosis plant and is replacing lead service lines through 2037, with up to $5,000 in cost-share reimbursement — a remodel that opens up plumbing is the right moment to check your line. Downtown and the BNSF Metra station anchor it all along Hillgrove Avenue.

Western Springs permits & building codes for home additions

The Village of Western Springs requires building permits for new construction and alterations to existing structures, handled through the Community Development Department at 740 Hillgrove Avenue; applications and permit guides are posted on the village website and accepted by email at [email protected]. Kitchen, bath, basement, and addition work that touches plumbing, electrical, gas, structure, or ventilation falls under permit review, and even a private-side lead service line replacement requires its own building permit. GS Construction manages the full permit process — preparing and submitting the application, coordinating with village staff, and scheduling every required inspection.

5 Stars

We recently completed a near-total first floor renovation in which we re-drew the original (1963) floorplan. When we selected GS Construction, we had faith that our project would be completed to our specifications but, admittedly, we would not really know for sure until we were finished. Five months later, we can say we were extremely pleased with GS Construction – with the final result and the process itself. From the very beginning, it was clear that Greg and Patryk were “on top” of our project. Before demolition, they offered a clear plan and timeline about what we could expect. When demolition began, they communicated almost daily to tell us what was next, what decisions we needed to make and when workers would be on site. From demolition to final inspection, there were fewer than five days when workers were not actively working on site. Greg and Patryk were also terrific partners in helping us make the best decisions for our home. They considered what we were trying to accomplish and how to best achieve it – for function and for cost savings. They handled our changes easily, always working to minimize costs. One of the other things that we came to appreciate from Greg and Patryk was the quality of the work supplied by their sub-contractors. They were top notch and so respectful to us in our home. That, we believe, is a reflection on Greg and Patryk as well. All the tradespeople had very high standards. It’s clear that Greg and Patryk set an expectation for the highest quality work and their teams delivered. We wholeheartedly would recommend GS Construction for any home renovation project. High quality work – on time – on budget with a fully engaged and contributing father and son team that was a pleasure to work with.
