Remodeling in Northbrook, IL
GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners throughout the Chicago suburbs, including Northbrook. As a family-owned contractor serving the North Shore area, we specialize in transforming kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes. Let us bring your remodeling vision to life in Northbrook.
Northbrook's housing maps to its postwar boom, so much of its stock is mid-century homes on mature lots, now joined by newer infill and rebuilds. This means a variety of remodeling opportunities for homeowners.
The village grew from about 1,265 residents in 1940 to more than 25,000 by 1970. GS Construction brings kitchens, bathrooms, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home renovations to Northbrook households, from houses near the downtown Shermer Road Metra station to the streets around Glenbrook North and Techny Prairie Park.
The Village pumps its own Lake Michigan water, and only a few hundred lead service lines remain, mostly at homes built before the mid-1950s; on plumbing-heavy kitchen and bath remodels in older houses that's worth checking early, since Northbrook runs a cost-share program that reimburses up to half the private-side replacement cost. Expansion is common enough here that projects growing a home's floor area by more than 115% get their own "Major Renovation" permit category.
Northbrook requires an alteration permit whenever a remodel changes interior walls or structural elements, with plans submitted by email to the Village's Development and Planning Services Department. Kitchens, baths, and basements are reviewed as Small Projects in up to 10 business days, while additions and large-scale remodels run up to 15; interior-alteration fees are $3.00 per square foot with a $280 minimum. General, electrical, plumbing, and sewer contractors must hold current Village of Northbrook licenses, and mandatory inspections are scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Northbrook clients, from the submittal packet through final inspection.
What homeowners in Northbrook ask for
Given Northbrook's prevalent mid-century and 1970s housing stock, popular projects often involve extensive kitchen remodels that remove walls to create open-concept living areas. Homeowners frequently request primary suite additions or reconfigurations to include larger bathrooms and walk-in closets. Basement finishing and remodeling are also common to add valuable living space, home offices, or entertainment zones.
How we work in Northbrook
For Northbrook homeowners, GS Construction & Remodeling operates under a single contract, managed by one dedicated project lead from start to finish. We handle all necessary permit applications and coordinate with licensed trade partners for specialized work. This streamlined process ensures clear communication and efficient project execution.

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!
