Basement finishing in Northbrook, IL

Northbrook's housing maps to its postwar boom — the village grew from about 1,265 residents in 1940 to more than 25,000 by 1970 — so much of its stock is mid-century homes on mature lots, now joined by newer infill and rebuilds. The Village pumps its own Lake Michigan water, and only a few hundred lead service lines remain, mostly at homes built before the mid-1950s; on plumbing-heavy kitchen and bath remodels in older houses that's worth checking early, since Northbrook runs a cost-share program that reimburses up to half the private-side replacement cost. Expansion is common enough here that projects growing a home's floor area by more than 115% get their own "Major Renovation" permit category. GS Construction brings kitchens, bathrooms, basement build-outs, additions, and whole-home renovations to Northbrook households, from houses near the downtown Shermer Road Metra station to the streets around Glenbrook North and Techny Prairie Park.

5 Stars

Greg & Patryk renovated our 1.5 baths into two full bathrooms, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire project, visiting frequently and responding to our questions within just a couple of hours. Every subcontractor they brought in was professional, courteous, and easy to work with, which made the whole process feel smooth and well-managed. As first-time homeowners taking on a renovation, we really appreciated how quick they were to offer guidance, share their expertise, and patiently answer all of our questions. The final result looks incredible—we’re absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. We would highly recommend Greg & Patryk to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and professional contractor. All for an extremely competitive price. We could not recommend more emphatically!
