Home additions in Lake Bluff, IL

Lake Bluff began as an 1875 Methodist camp-meeting resort, and its east side still shows it: cottages and foursquares from the village's hotel era on compact lots near the beach, wooded ravines threading between streets, and a walkable downtown along Scranton Avenue. Elsewhere, newer subdivisions like Tangley Oaks and The Sanctuary add a different housing vintage. GS Construction remodels across both — opening up tight kitchens in century-old cottages, fitting primary baths under original rooflines, finishing basements, and planning additions around ravine and bluff setbacks. One utility note we build into plumbing-heavy projects: the Village pipes Lake Michigan water from the CLCJAWA cooperative through its own 39 miles of mains, and it has identified roughly 116 older lead or galvanized service lines, generally splitting replacement costs 50/50 on village-initiated work. Metra's Union Pacific North Line stops in the village, and the park district runs an 18-hole golf course.

Lake Bluff permits & building codes for home additions

The Village of Lake Bluff's Community Development Department issues residential permits, and the list of work that needs one is broader than many owners expect — remodels and additions, roofing, siding and window alterations, decks, fences, even tree removal and grading. In subdivisions such as Tangley Oaks, Armour Woods, Wimbledon Court, and The Sanctuary, the village's permit guidelines also call for homeowners-association approval as part of the submission. GS Construction manages the full permit process — plans, applications, HOA coordination where needed, and inspection scheduling — for every Lake Bluff project.

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.
