Home additions in Riverside, IL

Riverside is a National Historic Landmark from edge to edge — Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's 1869 plan gave the village its curving, gas-lit streets, dozens of small triangular parks, and a housing stock that reads like an architecture survey: 1870s Victorians from the original development, Prairie-style landmarks like Frank Lloyd Wright's Avery Coonley House, and solid 1920s brick bungalows. Remodeling here means respecting that fabric — kitchens and baths updated inside historic shells, basement build-outs beneath century-old foundations, and additions scaled to Olmsted-era lots (exterior work on designated landmark homes also gets Preservation Commission review). One practical note: Riverside distributes Chicago water, and more than half of the village's roughly 3,000 water services still have lead lines, with a village replacement program underway — worth checking before a plumbing-heavy remodel. GS Construction handles kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and whole-home renovations for families here, served by District 96 schools and the BNSF Metra stop downtown.

Riverside permits & building codes for home additions

The Village of Riverside requires building permits for remodeling projects, and contractors must be registered with the village before a permit application can be filed; applications go through the Community Development Department, with plan review and inspections handled by the village's consultant, Lakeside Consultants. If a home is a designated local landmark, exterior work that needs a permit also requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Preservation Commission — interior work and painting are exempt. GS Construction manages the full permit process, from contractor registration and application through plan review, landmark coordination where it applies, and final inspections.

5 Stars

We had an excellent experience working with GS Construction on our primary bedroom and bathroom renovation. From the very beginning, they were incredibly thorough and transparent in outlining the scope of work, budget, and timeline. Everything was clearly communicated upfront, and they delivered exactly what they promised. When new things inevitably popped up during construction, we discussed our options and associated costs before proceeding. Throughout the project, Greg, Caesar, and Patryk were proactive, responsive, and easy to communicate with. They were always available to answer our questions, address any concerns, and kept us informed every step of the way. When we had follow-up questions after the renovation was complete, they were just as responsive and addressed our concerns quickly. We also really appreciated the care they took with our home. They went above and beyond to protect our living space during construction and did a fantastic job cleaning up afterward, which made the entire process much less stressful. Most importantly, the quality of their work is outstanding. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of the finished project. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend GS Construction to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and detail-oriented contractor.
