#1 Chicago Home Remodeling Company: Pegasus Construction
Why Did the Homeowners Decide to Remodel?
The Investors in Hermosa, Chicago, chose to remodel their 3-unit apartment building to meet the growing demand for modern, functional living spaces while increasing the property’s value. By transforming the building into a sleek, 3-unit condo with a fourth-floor duplex, they aimed to enhance livability, create open layouts, and integrate contemporary design elements that would attract families and professionals alike. This gut rehab allowed them to upgrade outdated systems, maximize square footage, and deliver a stylish yet practical living environment tailored to today’s needs.
What Challenges Did We Overcome During the Remodel?
During the Hermosa condo remodel, we faced several challenges, including the complexities of adding a fourth-floor duplex to an existing structure while maintaining the building’s structural integrity. Reconfiguring the interior layout for an open-concept design required meticulous planning to maximize functionality without compromising the flow of the units. Additionally, upgrading outdated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems presented logistical hurdles, especially in a multi-unit property. Finally, Chicago’s strict building codes and inspections demanded precise execution at every phase, ensuring the project met safety and quality standards while staying on schedule. Despite these challenges, we delivered a seamless transformation.
How Did We Achieve the Homeowners’ Vision?
We achieved the homeowners’ vision by starting with a comprehensive gut rehab that allowed us to reimagine the building from the ground up. By focusing on their desire for a modern aesthetic and functional living spaces, we redesigned the interior layouts to embrace an open-concept flow, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere in each unit. Adding a fourth-floor duplex was a key component of the project, giving the property an upscale appeal and additional living space that met the homeowners’ goals for maximizing value and usability. Every detail, from the sleek white shaker cabinets and quartz countertops to the luxurious spa-like master suite, was thoughtfully chosen to reflect contemporary design trends while maintaining practicality.
To ensure the vision came to life, we upgraded all major systems, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, ensuring the property was as efficient and future-proof as it was beautiful. The exterior received equal attention with new vinyl siding, windows, a front porch, and a back deck, enhancing curb appeal and outdoor functionality. Throughout the process, we worked closely with the homeowners, providing updates and adapting to their feedback to ensure every element exceeded their expectations. The result was a stunning transformation that not only fulfilled their vision but also set a new standard for modern living in the Hermosa neighborhood.
