Remodeling in Forest Park, IL

GS Construction provides remodeling services to Forest Park and surrounding Proviso Township, helping homeowners update their kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. As a local, family-owned contractor, we bring decades of experience to every project in Forest Park. We are 5-star rated and offer bilingual service in English and Polish.

Forest Park packs its housing into 2.4 square miles along the Des Plaines River, and the stock is genuinely old: nearly half of the village's homes were built before 1940, with a median build year of 1949. Queen Annes and frame worker cottages share the oldest blocks with brick two-flats and Chicago-style bungalows, while condo buildings — roughly a quarter of all housing units — line the busier corridors. GS Construction plans remodels around that reality: opening up compact bungalow kitchens, adding a second bathroom where one still serves the whole house, finishing century-old basements with moisture control handled first, and taking on whole-home renovations or additions when a family outgrows the footprint. Worth knowing before plumbing-heavy work: the village runs its own Water Department and is replacing lead service lines in phases, currently at no cost to homeowners. Families here get District 91 schools, the selective-enrollment Proviso Math and Science Academy, Madison Street's restaurant row, and the CTA Blue Line's western terminal.

Forest Park permits & building codes

Forest Park requires a building permit before work begins on most remodeling — structural alterations, moving or adding plumbing fixtures, electrical panel or wiring changes, new windows, roofs, and decks — while like-for-like cabinet swaps, countertops, flooring, and painting are exempt. Contractors must hold a village job license and carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance naming the Village of Forest Park plus a $10,000 surety bond, and electrical and plumbing work each require separate permits. Remodel inspections run in a fixed sequence — rough plumbing with a pressure test, rough electrical, rough framing and insulation, then finals — each on 24 hours' notice to the Building Department at 517 Desplaines Avenue. GS Construction manages the full permit process, from application and insurance paperwork through the final inspection sign-off.

5 Stars

Greg, Patryk, Caesar and crew were very professional, experienced in their trade and personable. We had no problem living in the lower level with our 80 pound lab, who became their best friend, during our kitchen and main level renovation. They communicated when and what time someone would be coming, which was almost every week day. This being our first renovation they made suggestions, came up with work arounds and explained why they did things a certain way, but made changes when we asked. They are incredibly easy to work with, came in on budget, and completed the job early. Even after the job was complete they stayed in touch and made a few minor adjustments. We recommend them!
