GS Construction provides complete remodeling services to homeowners in Winnetka and the surrounding North Shore communities. With decades of experience, we help Winnetka residents transform their kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes. Contact our team for a free consultation.

Winnetka's housing runs from 1890s-1920s Tudors and colonials on the tree-lined blocks east of Green Bay Road to the storefront charm of Hubbard Woods, in a village that takes architecture seriously — Crow Island School here is a National Historic Landmark. Most remodels start inside vintage construction: plaster and lath, generations of patched wiring, and water services the Village's own utility reports are still lead or partially lead at roughly a third of its 4,494 connections. GS Construction builds those realities into the plan — kitchens opened up within pre-war floor plans, primary baths reworked from compartmented layouts, basements dried in and finished under original foundations, additions coordinated with Winnetka's landmark and demolition review when it applies, and whole-home renovations that fold service upgrades in while walls are open. District 36 schools feed New Trier's Winnetka campus, and three Metra UP-N stops — Hubbard Woods, Winnetka, and Indian Hill — serve the village.

Winnetka permits & building codes for remodeling projects

Winnetka has no online permit portal — applications are Village PDF forms filed with Community Development at 510 Green Bay Road, and interior remodels typically clear plan review in two to three weeks (additions closer to three). Since January 1, 2024, major permit fees run 3% of estimated construction value, and a permit is triggered by structural work, any electrical, plumbing, or mechanical changes, or removing 100 square feet or more of drywall or plaster. The Landmark Preservation Commission reviews alterations to designated landmarks and weighs in on demolition applications. GS Construction manages the full permit process — scope-of-work packets, trade worksheets, and phone-scheduled inspections — on every Winnetka project.

We have used GS for two bathroom projects-the first a small update; the second a complete remodel. We were thrilled with both. Everything was as promised; the timeline, price, and what it would look like. We were able to buy our own tile and fixtures and were not tied to any company's showroom. We got what we wanted and likely saved money doing so. GS also installed interior doors. The workmanship was great. The only downside is that now the bathrooms are the two nicest rooms in the house! I would heartily recommend GS construction!
