Our work in Pleasant Prairie
Remodeling and building in Pleasant Prairie.
Pleasant Prairie runs from the Lake Michigan shoreline west toward I-94, and the homes in between come in plenty of shapes and ages. We work on all of them. Pembroke Construction is based in Twin Lakes, about 17 miles away, and Kyle Pembroke takes on kitchens, baths, finished basements, decks, roofing, windows, siding, painting, floors and tile for village homeowners. You get a free written estimate and a free design before you decide anything.
A remodel here usually starts with a few plain questions. Does the house sit close enough to the water for shoreland rules to matter? What will the Village's building inspectors need to see? One crew handles the job from the first measurement to the final sweep, so you are not chasing different trades around. We also offer discounts for military, seniors, teachers, first responders and people with disabilities.
The area
About Pleasant Prairie.
Pleasant Prairie is a village in Kenosha County on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, between the City of Kenosha to the north and the Illinois line to the south. The 2020 Census counted 21,250 residents, and about 77 percent of occupied homes were owner-occupied. The area became a township in 1842 and incorporated as a village in 1989. Carol Beach runs along the lakefront beside Chiwaukee Prairie, a state natural area of coastal wetlands and dunes. Prairie Springs Park holds the RecPlex and sits next to Lake Andrea. Home ages vary by neighborhood, so each job starts with a look at what is already behind the walls.
Projects
What we build in Pleasant Prairie.
Local conditions shape the work. Here is what we pay attention to in Pleasant Prairie.
Kitchen and bath remodels
Many homes have a kitchen or bath that no longer fits how the household lives. We draw the layout for free, then build it with one crew.
Finished basements
Basements in lakeside neighborhoods deserve a moisture check before any framing goes up. We look for damp walls and drainage trouble first, then build the finished space.
Decks, porches and exteriors
Wisconsin winters are hard on roofs, siding, windows and deck boards. We build decks, composite decks and screened-in porches, and handle the exterior work that goes with them.
Light commercial work
Pleasant Prairie has a busy business base along the I-94 corridor. We take on some commercial work, and the Village reviews plans for certain commercial alterations and additions.
Every trade

Good to know
Permits and local details.
Every town has its own rules. Here is what we found for Pleasant Prairie.
Permits and inspections
Permits go through the Village of Pleasant Prairie Building Inspection Department at Village Hall, 9915 39th Avenue. The department enforces the state building, mechanical, electrical and plumbing codes and reviews plans for residential projects. The Village also runs an online permit portal. We walk you through the paperwork for your job.
Near the lake or the prairie
The Village zoning code has a shoreland section covering land within 1,000 feet of lakes and 300 feet of rivers and streams, and farther where a floodplain reaches beyond that. Homes near Lake Michigan or Lake Andrea should ask first. Grading, fill or work close to the water gets checked before we price it.
Booking around inspections
Village inspections are booked by phone, with a morning or afternoon slot, at least two business days ahead. The office is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On larger jobs the final inspection phase can involve Planning and Zoning, Engineering, Utilities, Streets and Fire and Rescue, so we plan our schedule around theirs.

Do I need a permit for a remodel in Pleasant Prairie?
Many projects do, but the Village sets the rules by project type, so we confirm with the Building Inspection Department before we start. The Village also has an online permit portal for applications. We check what your job needs, help with the paperwork and line up the inspections with you.
Does living near Lake Michigan or Lake Andrea change what I can build?
It can. The Village's shoreland rules reach 1,000 feet from lakes and 300 feet from rivers and streams, or to the edge of the floodplain if that is farther. If your lot is close to the water, we check the maps and talk to the Village before we price anything involving grading, fill or new structures.
Can you handle commercial work in Pleasant Prairie?
Yes, we do some commercial work. The Village Building Inspection Department reviews plans for certain commercial alterations and additions, so approvals come into play early. Tell us what you have in mind and we will go over the scope and the steps in your free written estimate.
