Nestled in the heart of southeastern Wisconsin, Lake Country is a collection of charming towns and scenic lakeside communities known for their natural beauty, quiet neighborhoods, and strong sense of community. It includes areas like Delafield, Hartland, Pewaukee, Nashotah, Chenequa, and Okauchee—each with its own personality but all sharing the same appreciation for well-built homes and thoughtful design.
At Kobiske Construction, we work with homeowners throughout Lake Country who are looking to invest in their homes, whether it’s through custom home builds, detailed renovations, or timeless outdoor spaces. We understand what makes this region special, and we bring that knowledge into every project we take on.
What Is Lake Country?
Lake Country isn’t just a name—it’s a lifestyle. The area gets its name from the dozens of lakes that dot the landscape, including Pewaukee Lake, Nagawicka Lake, Pine Lake, and Okauchee Lake. Life here often revolves around the water: boat rides in the summer, bonfires by the shoreline, and homes that take full advantage of the views and the seasons.
Homeowners here typically seek high-quality, well-designed spaces that feel personal, blend into the natural surroundings, and are built to last. Our work reflects that expectation—focusing on craftsmanship, materials that stand up to Wisconsin weather, and layouts that support how families live.
Building & Remodeling in Lake Country
Whether you’re working with an existing property or building from the ground up, the area has a range of opportunities. If you’re looking for a construction company in Lake Country, we specialize in:
- Custom home building on lakefront lots, wooded properties, or within growing neighborhoods
- Deck and outdoor space construction designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the view
- Flooring installation that enhances both the design and durability of your home
- Interior renovations and remodeling for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-home transformations
Each home we work on is different—and that’s the point. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we take time to learn what you value most, and then build around that.
Local Considerations: Permits, Zoning & Site Conditions
Because Lake Country spans multiple municipalities, the permitting process can vary depending on your location. Towns like Delafield, Merton, or Summit may have lake-specific zoning rules, shoreline restrictions, or requirements tied to lot setbacks and impervious surface limits.
If you’re planning a project near the water, you may need additional approvals through county shoreland zoning ordinances or the Wisconsin DNR. We stay on top of these regulations, manage the permitting process for you, and make sure the project meets all local codes, so you’re not stuck navigating red tape.
Outdoor Spaces That Embrace the Setting
Living in Lake Country means making the most of your surroundings. Whether you want a simple deck for summer dinners or a full backyard buildout with lighting, hardscaping, and seating areas, we design outdoor spaces that reflect your home and the environment it sits in.
We understand how elevation, sun exposure, and lot layout affect the design and materials, and we build with that in mind.
Designed to Fit the Landscape
In a region where natural beauty and architectural charm are front and center, every detail counts. Our custom homes and renovation projects are built to blend into the landscape while standing out for their craftsmanship.
Whether building a modern lake home with wide windows and open spaces or remodeling a traditional house with new life and character, we’re here to bring your ideas to life with the care they deserve.
