Home additions in Northlake, IL

Northlake's housing story is unusually specific: beginning in the late 1930s, the Midland Development Company sold "semi-finished" Cape Cod and ranch houses near North Avenue and Wolf Road that buyers finished themselves, and after incorporating in 1949 the city filled out through the 1950s and '60s, when the Automatic Electric telephone plant arrived and industry settled the west side while homes stayed east. The result is a town of compact postwar Cape Cods and ranches on modest lots — a natural fit for what GS Construction does: opening up small kitchens, updating tight bathrooms, finishing basements into real living space, and taking on whole-home remodels or additions when the footprint runs out. Worth knowing: Northlake runs its own Lake Michigan water system and is replacing the city's remaining lead service lines at no cost to homeowners — check your line before plumbing-heavy work. Families feed Mannheim District 83 schools and West Leyden High School, with the I-294/North Avenue interchange minutes away.

Northlake permits & building codes for home additions

Remodeling permits in Northlake go through the City of Northlake Building Department (708-343-8700), and every contractor and subcontractor listed on a permit must carry a current city contractor registration — an annual $100 license backed by a $10,000 bond and a certificate of insurance naming the City.

5 Stars

Having done a fairly large amount of “research” online I concluded that it was time to get an excellent contractor team and not second rate. GS is A + excellent. From bottom to top, their people care about doing the right thing, they are active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence in the little matters which leads to big beautiful renovations. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra, said a prominent fb coach, and its true in renovations. Greg Szady and Patryk Szady have high quality people and actively work with my selected and excellent designer Jenn Peterson to put my first floor into the 21st century and beyond my expectations. The designer selected very high quality materials and Patryk and Greg delivered excellent renovations installations and detail. Kudos especially to GS flooring experts because everything transformed beautifully. No one has paid me for this review or told me what to say.
