Home additions in Skokie, IL

Skokie built out fast in the postwar decades — the era it earned the nickname "World's Largest Village" — so most blocks are lined with the georgians, ranches, and split-levels of the 1940s and '50s boom, joined by townhomes and condos near downtown Skokie's Oakton Street corridor and the CTA Yellow Line, the Skokie Swift. That stock shapes our work here: opening up compartmentalized postwar kitchens, adding a second full bath to a georgian, finishing basements, and designing additions when a ranch or split-level runs out of room. Skokie has received Lake Michigan water purchased from Evanston since 1944, and homes of this vintage can still have lead service lines — the Village's cost-share program caps a homeowner's private-side replacement at $3,090, worth checking during any plumbing-heavy remodel. Families here feed Niles North and Niles West high schools, both inside the village, and Old Orchard anchors the retail end of town.

Skokie permits & building codes for home additions

Most remodeling projects in Skokie require a building permit from the Village's Community Development Department, submitted through the online Skokie Permits portal. Both homeowner and contractor sign the application, contractors must be licensed and bonded, and plans plus a plat of survey are typically required. Small projects are usually reviewed in 3–5 business days, while larger work may also need Appearance Commission or zoning review before a permit is issued. GS Construction manages the entire permit process — application, plan submission, and inspection scheduling — for every Skokie project.

5 Stars

Greg, Patryk, Caesar and crew were very professional, experienced in their trade and personable. We had no problem living in the lower level with our 80 pound lab, who became their best friend, during our kitchen and main level renovation. They communicated when and what time someone would be coming, which was almost every week day. This being our first renovation they made suggestions, came up with work arounds and explained why they did things a certain way, but made changes when we asked. They are incredibly easy to work with, came in on budget, and completed the job early. Even after the job was complete they stayed in touch and made a few minor adjustments. We recommend them!
