Forest Park permits & building codes for home additions
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.

We recently completed a near-total first floor renovation in which we re-drew the original (1963) floorplan. When we selected GS Construction, we had faith that our project would be completed to our specifications but, admittedly, we would not really know for sure until we were finished. Five months later, we can say we were extremely pleased with GS Construction – with the final result and the process itself. From the very beginning, it was clear that Greg and Patryk were “on top” of our project. Before demolition, they offered a clear plan and timeline about what we could expect. When demolition began, they communicated almost daily to tell us what was next, what decisions we needed to make and when workers would be on site. From demolition to final inspection, there were fewer than five days when workers were not actively working on site. Greg and Patryk were also terrific partners in helping us make the best decisions for our home. They considered what we were trying to accomplish and how to best achieve it – for function and for cost savings. They handled our changes easily, always working to minimize costs. One of the other things that we came to appreciate from Greg and Patryk was the quality of the work supplied by their sub-contractors. They were top notch and so respectful to us in our home. That, we believe, is a reflection on Greg and Patryk as well. All the tradespeople had very high standards. It’s clear that Greg and Patryk set an expectation for the highest quality work and their teams delivered. We wholeheartedly would recommend GS Construction for any home renovation project. High quality work – on time – on budget with a fully engaged and contributing father and son team that was a pleasure to work with.
