Remodeling in River Grove, IL
GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in River Grove and throughout Cook County. With decades of experience, we help River Grove residents transform their kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes into beautiful, functional spaces. We are a family-owned and operated remodeling contractor serving the near west suburbs.
River Grove's housing stock includes brick bungalows, Cape Cods, ranches, and turn-of-the-century frame homes on tight lots. Remodeling in these homes means making solid but dated floor plans live larger.
River Grove is a compact village on the Des Plaines River in Leyden Township, incorporated in 1888 as a blue-collar railroad community and filled in through early subdivisions like the 1920s Chicago Home Gardens. Triton College anchors the community, elementary students attend Rhodes 84.5 or River Grove 85.5 schools, and the River Grove Metra station offers Milwaukee District West service to Union Station.
Remodeling in River Grove often involves opening up compact kitchens, adding a second full bath, finishing basements, and building additions where the lot allows. The village runs its own water system on Lake Michigan water and is replacing lead service lines street by street alongside its annual water-main projects, so a plumbing-heavy kitchen or bath remodel is a natural moment to check your address in the village's published service-line inventory.
River Grove sets a low bar for permits: any remodeling work valued over $100 — windows, doors, decks, concrete, and general construction, plus electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing — requires a building permit. Every contractor working in the village must also hold a current River Grove contractor license, renewed each calendar year. Permits are not issued same-day; plans go through review before pickup and payment at the Building Department on Thatcher Avenue. GS Construction manages the full permit process — application, contractor licensing, plan review, and inspection scheduling — for every River Grove project.
What homeowners in River Grove ask for
Homeowners in River Grove frequently request projects that modernize existing layouts while preserving the home's character. Kitchen remodels often involve opening up floor plans to create more communal spaces, while bathroom renovations focus on updating fixtures and finishes for improved functionality and aesthetic appeal. Basement finishing is also popular, providing additional living areas in many of the older, well-built homes.

Greg and Patryk do amazing work and are incredible to work with! GS Construction completed two extensive bathroom renovations for us, including completely reconfiguring layouts and expanding one. Both bathrooms are absolutely beautiful, and they have significantly improved our family's quality of life in our home. Patryk and Greg are great communicators, take pride in their work, and have good attention to detail. Throughout the project, they really listened to us, took the time to understand what we wanted, kept progress going in a timely manner, and provided expert advice/suggestions and help on specific questions along the way. Every one of their team members did high-quality work. We couldn't be happier with the end result, and definitely will hire them for future renovations!
