Basement finishing in Wheeling, IL

GS Construction provides remodeling services to homeowners in Wheeling and throughout Cook County. We are a family-owned and operated design-build firm specializing in kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. Let our 40+ years of combined experience transform your Wheeling home.

Wheeling grew fastest from the 1950s through the 1980s, and most of its housing shows it: ranches, split-levels, and two-story homes in subdivisions like Dunhurst, Meadowbrook, Hollywood Ridge, and Eastchester, plus townhome and condo communities added in later decades. That vintage is exactly where remodeling pays off — kitchens still on their original footprints, bathrooms due for full gut renovations, and basements that were never properly finished. One practical advantage here: Wheeling receives Lake Michigan water through the Northwest Water Commission, and the Village reports that all lead service lines in town have been removed, so plumbing-heavy remodels start from a clean municipal baseline. GS Construction handles kitchens, bathrooms, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home renovations across town, from homes near Restaurant Row on Milwaukee Avenue to the blocks around the Metra North Central Service station and the newer Wheeling Town Center. Families here are served by CCSD 21 schools feeding Wheeling High School in District 214.

Wheeling permits & building codes for basement remodels

The Village of Wheeling's Community Development Department (847-459-2620) reviews plans and issues permits for remodeling, and a building permit is required for any project that replaces, remodels, or alters an existing kitchen or bathroom. Interior remodel submittals include the permit application, a contract or scope of work with construction cost, and drawings showing the existing and proposed layout — cabinets, appliances, framing, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical. All contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a permit is issued, which GS Construction maintains. We manage the full permit process for every Wheeling project, from application and plan submittal through final inspections.

How your Wheeling project runs

Process

The same six stages on every job — free in-home estimate through warranty.

Free in-home estimate

Greg or Patryk — the owners, not a salesperson — walk your space, take real measurements, and give you honest feedback on what your budget buys.

Itemized scope & contract

Labor, materials, demolition and disposal priced line by line, not one mystery number. Payment terms and warranty are in the written contract.

Design & selections

Bring your own designer, use our architects and designers, or choose everything yourself. Selections are scheduled ahead so lead times never stall the site.

Permits & scheduling

We pull and manage building, plumbing and electrical permits with your village — typically 1–2 weeks — and hand you a written schedule before demo day.

The build, owner-supervised

Long-standing trade partners working in sequence under daily owner supervision. Your client portal shows the schedule, change orders and current balance.

Walkthrough & warranty

We walk the finished job together, close out every punch-list item, hand over manufacturer paperwork, and your written workmanship warranty starts. Our commitment never expires.
