Remodeling in Wilmette, IL

GS Construction provides complete remodeling services to homeowners in Wilmette and throughout New Trier Township. We are a family-owned and operated remodeling contractor with decades of experience serving the northern suburbs of Chicago. Call us for kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home renovations.

East Wilmette is pre-war to its brick streets: the CAGE neighborhood — named for Chestnut, Ashland, Greenwood, and Elmwood — holds colonials, Tudors, Victorians, and foursquares built from the 1890s to the 1930s, a short walk from Gillson Park and the 1928 Spanish Court arcades of Plaza del Lago. Farther west, the stock turns mid-century near Edens Plaza. GS Construction remodels both eras: kitchens that open compartmented pre-war plans, baths and basements that retire galvanized supply lines and tired drain tile, and additions and whole-home projects scaled to Wilmette lots. One Wilmette-specific note: the Village's 2024 policy replaces its roughly 2,200 remaining lead service lines at no cost through the village-wide program — but a replacement triggered by an addition or service upgrade is the owner's expense, so we time that piece deliberately. Most of the village feeds District 39 and then New Trier, with the Metra UP-N and the Purple Line's Linden terminal handling the commute.

Wilmette permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Wilmette permits go through Community Development at 1200 Wilmette Avenue — paper submittals are preferred (electronic filings take longer to issue) — with a published goal of 10 business days per reviewer for first review. Plans need an Illinois architect's or structural engineer's stamp for structural work or projects over $25,000, reviewers can require one even below that for kitchens, baths, and basement remodels, and every contractor on the permit must hold a Wilmette contractor license before issuance. Exterior work on a designated Wilmette landmark needs a no-fee Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission first, and the village also maintains an Appearance Review Commission for design review. GS Construction manages the full permit process — applications, stamped drawings, contractor licensing, and phone-scheduled inspections — on every Wilmette project.

We cannot say enough good things about GS Construction and about Greg and Patryk. We hired them on a strong recommendation from a friend and are very pleased with the results. Our project included remodeling a kitchen and master bathroom and adding wood floors to several rooms in our condo. We had definite ideas of what we wanted since we have done many remodeling projects in several previous homes, but both Patryk and Greg added great value with suggestions and ideas of their own based on their experience and talent. Their follow through was excellent and we feel confident that if anything needs attention, they will be there to make it right. P.S. They did a great clean up at the end of the project......i
