Wheeling Kitchen Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled kitchens for Wheeling homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.
A Wheeling kitchen usually takes 8–12 weeks, and Greg or Patryk is here for those weeks — not a project manager passing your questions along. We pull the Wheeling permits, bring in the trades we've worked with for years in the right order, and price every line of it before demo day.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Itemized scope — labor, materials, demolition and disposal, line by line
- Building, plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Wheeling
- Workmanship warranty on every kitchen — our commitment never expires
"Typically 8–12 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Kitchen remodeling in Wheeling, IL
Kitchen remodeling in Wheeling often transforms the distinct layouts found in homes from the mid-20th century. Many properties, particularly ranches and split-levels, feature kitchens originally designed as self-contained spaces, separate from living and dining areas. Our work frequently involves reconfiguring these traditional layouts to create open-concept kitchens that flow seamlessly into adjacent rooms, enhancing both functionality and social connectivity. This typically includes updating dated finishes, improving lighting, and optimizing storage solutions to meet contemporary household needs. From the subdivisions near Heritage Park to the quieter streets closer to the Des Plaines River, these homes present an ideal canvas for modern kitchen makeovers.
What Wheeling homeowners ask for
Wheeling homeowners frequently request custom cabinetry solutions to maximize storage and integrate modern appliances within their existing kitchen footprints. There's a high demand for large kitchen islands, often with seating, to serve as central gathering points in homes where the original layout lacked such a feature. We also see many requests for enhanced lighting schemes, moving beyond single overhead fixtures to incorporate recessed lighting, under-cabinet illumination, and stylish pendant lights to brighten and define the space.
About Wheeling
Wheeling's residential landscape largely reflects its most significant growth periods from the 1950s through the 1980s, creating a rich tapestry of housing styles that are perfectly ripe for modern remodeling. You'll find a prevalence of ranches, split-levels, and traditional two-story homes in established subdivisions, each offering unique opportunities for transformation.
Wheeling's residential landscape largely reflects its most significant growth periods from the 1950s through the 1980s. You'll find a prevalence of ranches, split-levels, and traditional two-story homes in established subdivisions like Dunhurst, Meadowbrook, Hollywood Ridge, and Eastchester. Beyond these classic subdivisions, later decades brought townhome and condo communities, particularly around areas like the bustling Wheeling Town Center. Throughout Wheeling, from the charming blocks near the Metra North Central Service station to homes closer to Restaurant Row on Milwaukee Avenue, GS Construction’s services are ideally suited to the local housing stock. While Wheeling doesn't have a broad historic district that significantly impacts typical residential remodels, areas near the Des Plaines River, while beautiful, may have specific considerations for basement finishing or additions due to potential flood plain regulations. The diverse family-oriented communities, served by CCSD 21 schools feeding Wheeling High School in District 214, often seek to optimize their homes for growing families. Whether it's a home near the greens of Chevy Chase Country Club or closer to the recreational opportunities at Heritage Park and the Wheeling Park District Community Recreation Center, families here appreciate modern, functional living spaces that reflect their lifestyle.
The prevalence of ranches, split-levels, and traditional two-story homes from the 1950s through the 1980s means kitchens often have original footprints that are enclosed and separate from living areas. These solid, durable homes from their era frequently require opening up walls between the kitchen and dining or family rooms to create modern, functional living spaces. Gas and electrical service in these vintage homes often need significant updates to support contemporary appliances and lighting schemes during a full gut renovation. Venting systems may also need reconfiguring to accommodate new kitchen layouts, particularly when opening up the space. The municipal water supply, now free of lead service lines, provides a clean baseline for water supply lines in plumbing-heavy remodels, simplifying updates to fixtures and finishes.
For kitchen remodels in Wheeling, the Village's Community Development Department reviews plans covering electrical, plumbing, and structural changes. GS Construction & Remodeling manages all permit applications and coordinates required inspections, including rough-in and final inspections for these critical systems.

Testimonials

We had an excellent experience working with GS Construction on our primary bedroom and bathroom renovation. From the very beginning, they were incredibly thorough and transparent in outlining the scope of work, budget, and timeline. Everything was clearly communicated upfront, and they delivered exactly what they promised. When new things inevitably popped up during construction, we discussed our options and associated costs before proceeding. Throughout the project, Greg, Caesar, and Patryk were proactive, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer our questions, address any concerns, and kept us informed every step of the way. When we had follow-up questions after the renovation was complete, they were just as responsive and addressed our concerns quickly. We also really appreciated the care they took with our home. They went above and beyond to protect our living space during construction and did a fantastic job cleaning up afterward, which made the entire process much less stressful. Most importantly, the quality of their work is outstanding. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the finished project. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend GS Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and detail-oriented contractor.
