Remodeling in Hawthorn Woods, IL

GS Construction provides expert remodeling services to homeowners in Hawthorn Woods and throughout Lake County. As a family-owned and operated contractor with deep roots in the Chicago suburbs, we understand the unique needs of homeowners in this area. We specialize in kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations.

Hawthorn Woods incorporated in 1958 as an estate-lifestyle community, and its housing still shows it: roughly 96 percent of homes are detached single-family houses on large lots, with a median build year of 1998. Nearly two-thirds of the stock went up after 1990, in subdivisions like Hawthorn Woods Country Club (where M/I Homes still builds new), Hawthorn Trails, and Countryside Meadows — homes now reaching first-remodel age, where basement finishes and kitchen refreshes lead. The 1970s–80s homes, about a third of the village, are candidates for deeper work: full kitchen renovations, primary-bath updates, whole-home remodels, and additions. Utilities shape every plan — Country Club-area subdivisions draw Aqua Illinois-managed municipal well water (no lead service lines identified in Aqua's 2025 inventory), while much of the village relies on private wells and septic, adding Lake County Health Department review when plumbing expands. Families are zoned to Lake Zurich District 95 (Spencer Loomis Elementary is in town) or Fremont District 79; commuters drive to Metra in Barrington, Mundelein, or Vernon Hills.

Hawthorn Woods permits & building codes

The Village of Hawthorn Woods Building Department at 2 Lagoon Drive reviews residential permits on a standard 20-business-day plan-review timeline and publishes project-specific guidelines for interior remodels, basements, additions, decks, and more. Contractors and most subcontractors must register annually with the village (state-licensed plumbers are exempt from village registration), and inspections are booked by 3 p.m. the day before, with re-inspection fees drawn against a refundable bond. Homes on private well and septic can also trigger Lake County Health Department review when a project moves or adds plumbing. GS Construction manages the full permit process in Hawthorn Woods — contractor registration, application, drawings, and inspection scheduling — through final sign-off.

5 Stars

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.
