Extending Living Space into the Yard

Many homes in the Cal Sag corridor and Birch Lake area were built with generous lots that remain underutilized. Adding a structural outdoor space replaces a small, poured concrete slab with a functional area suited for modern entertaining.

Palos Heights

Projects in Palos Heights focus on integrating structures with the local topography and existing vegetation. We prioritize materials that complement the mature, tree-filled environment of the South Suburbs.

Project Investment

With home values in Palos Heights between $325k and $525k, a well-planned outdoor renovation is a calculated investment that adds square footage to the property.

Local Insight

Common Questions

Outdoor & Exterior Renovation FAQ — Palos Heights

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.
Does the City of Palos Heights require a survey for a patio or deck permit?
Yes, the City of Palos Heights Building Department typically requires an up-to-date plat of survey to verify property lines, lot coverage, and impervious surface limits before approving any outdoor structural permit.
Are there specific restrictions for building decks near the Palos forest preserves?
While your property might be near a forest preserve, most permit restrictions are governed by the city's zoning ordinances regarding side and rear yard setbacks. We verify these setbacks during the design phase to avoid encroachment issues.
