Expanding Your Useable Square Footage

Many homes in Mokena and the Frankfort Square area feature large, open backyards that remain underutilized. We specialize in converting these grass lots into functional extensions of the home through structured hardscaping and covered outdoor spaces.

Mokena

Mokena properties frequently support extensive backyard footprints for outdoor kitchens and multi-level composite decks. We design these additions to integrate with the existing Colonial and Ranch styles common throughout the village.

Project Investment

Given the median home value in Mokena is $350k to $600k, a professional outdoor renovation typically accounts for a significant portion of property value and is priced to match the quality of the existing home.

Local Insight

The soil composition in many newer Mokena subdivisions requires specific attention to drainage and base preparation to prevent heaving in outdoor structures.

Common Questions

Outdoor & Exterior Renovation FAQ — Mokena

How much does a patio or deck installation cost?
Exterior renovation costs vary widely depending on the size of the project, materials selected, and the complexity of the build. Every property is different, so we recommend reaching out for a free consultation where we can see your space and provide a detailed estimate tailored to your vision.
How do outdoor structures hold up to Chicago winters?
Material selection matters a lot in this climate. We use concrete, composite decking, and naturally rot-resistant wood species like cedar and ipe where appropriate. Proper drainage and frost-depth footings are non-negotiable on every project we build.
What is the best time of year to build a patio or deck?
Spring through early fall is ideal. We book up quickly starting in March, so if you want a project done by summer, reach out in January or February to get on the schedule.
Do you do the landscaping around the new patio as well?
Our focus is the hardscape and structural elements. For plantings and lawn restoration around the project area we can recommend landscape partners we have worked with, but we do not do planting ourselves.
How long does the permit process take in Mokena?
Permit approval times through the Village of Mokena Building Department depend on current volume and the complexity of your site plan. We submit all drawings and specifications as soon as you approve the design to keep the process moving efficiently.
Are there specific rules for outdoor kitchens in Mokena?
Yes, gas lines and electrical outlets for an outdoor kitchen must meet strict safety codes. We ensure all fuel lines and wiring are inspected and permitted to comply with Mokena village ordinances.
