Forest Lake permits & building codes
Forest Lake has no village government, so remodeling permits do not go through a municipal building department — they are issued by the Lake County Planning, Building and Development Department in Libertyville, which requires a building permit for alterations and additions to an existing house. Depending on site conditions, county staff may also require a Site Development Permit, determined when the building permit application is reviewed. GS Construction manages the full permit process for Forest Lake projects, from county application and plan review through final inspections.

Testimonials
Your Neighbours in Forest Lake Love Us
Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
Patryk, Greg and their team were great to work with. They did our kids bathroom several years ago and we were so pleased with their work we used them again for our primary bathroom. They showed up when they were supposed to, answered calls/emails very timely, had an amazing work ethic and pride in their work. Patryk suggested adding a window that looks better than I could have imagined. They were accommodating to several tweaks to the project and absolutely wonderful. I LOVE my new bathroom. We wouldn't hesitate to use GS Construction again.
