About ZIP 60070 in Prospect Heights, IL

Prospect Heights has been Chicagoland's take on country living since 1935, when developers Carlton Smith and Allen Dawson built the first homes near Camp McDonald and Elmhurst Roads. The city, incorporated in 1976, grew out of that vision: postwar ranches on half-acre lots, with later condo and townhome pockets such as the Rob Roy development off Wheeling Road. Remodeling here has a twist most suburbs lack — the majority of homes run on private wells, while a small municipal system supplies Lake Michigan water to the Rob Roy and Lake Claire areas (the city's 2024 inventory reports zero lead service lines). So we plan kitchen and bathroom plumbing around your actual water source from day one. GS Construction remodels these homes end to end — kitchens, baths, basement finishing, additions that half-acre lots absorb easily, and whole-home renovations — minutes from District 23's neighborhood schools, the Prospect Heights Metra station, and Chicago Executive Airport, which the city co-owns with Wheeling.

Permit notes: The City of Prospect Heights requires building permits for kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement remodeling or finishing, and any structural, plumbing, electrical, or mechanical work — even re-drywalling, decks, and furnace or water-heater replacements — while pure finish work like painting, carpeting, and cabinet installation is exempt. Contractors must register with the city before a permit is issued (State of Illinois licensed plumbers excepted), and staged inspections are scheduled at least two business days ahead through the Building Department. GS Construction manages the full permit path for you — application, contractor registration, plan review, and every inspection through final sign-off.
