Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Bucktown, Chicago, Illinois
The home that caught your eye in Bucktown probably had a greystone facade, an ornate cornice, or a workers’ cottage front porch that’s seen a hundred Chicago winters. Bucktown’s housing stock runs from post-Fire brick workers’ cottages built in the 1880s to Victorian two-flats and greystones from the early 1900s — all on narrow 25-foot lots that define how every remodel has to work. Add in the loft conversions, the 1990s infill townhomes, and the new glass-and-steel builds near Milwaukee Avenue, and you have one of the most architecturally layered neighborhoods in the city.
We’ve worked on all of it. Whether you bought a vintage cottage and want to open up the rear kitchen, you’re converting a two-flat into a proper single-family home, or you have a Victorian and want to add a master suite without wrecking what makes it special — Pegasus Construction knows what Bucktown homes actually need. We come to you anywhere in the neighborhood, from the side streets west of Damen to the blocks near Holstein Park and the 606.
Remodeling in Bucktown means working within real constraints: tight lots, shared party walls, original plumbing and electrical that surprises you mid-project, and Chicago Department of Buildings permit timelines that can stretch to 12 weeks. We’ve navigated all of that on Bucktown jobs. If you’re thinking about a kitchen remodel, bathroom upgrade, home addition, or full renovation, we know the neighborhood well enough to tell you what’s realistic before we start.
Long Permit and Inspection Times
The Chicago Department of Buildings processes permits through its E-Plan online portal — and standard plan review for remodeling work can take up to 12 weeks. We handle the permitting and inspection scheduling so your project stays on track from day one.
Urban Lot Space Constraints
Bucktown’s narrow 25-foot lots leave less room to work with than most Chicago suburbs. We design around those constraints — rear additions, second-floor builds, and smart reconfigured floor plans that add real space without pushing the property line.
Historic Home Renovations
Bucktown workers’ cottages and Victorian two-flats have details worth preserving — original millwork, ornate cornices, period tile. We know what to keep, what to restore, and what to replace, so the finished project feels like it belongs in the house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Bucktown?
Yes, if the work involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. We pull all permits through the Chicago Department of Buildings’ E-Plan portal and handle all inspection scheduling. Plan for up to 12 weeks for permit approval on standard projects.
Can I add a second story to my workers’ cottage in Bucktown?
Yes, and we’ve done it. Bucktown workers’ cottages sit on narrow 25-foot lots, and a second-floor addition is feasible on most of them. We do a structural assessment first, confirm setback compliance with Chicago zoning, and design something that fits the character of the street.
We have a Victorian two-flat in Bucktown and want to convert it to a single-family home. What does that involve?
Converting a two-flat to single-family typically means removing the second kitchen, opening up the stairway between floors, reconfiguring the layout, and upgrading the mechanical systems. It’s whole-home remodel scope. The Chicago Department of Buildings will require architectural plans.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Bucktown?
Our average kitchen remodel runs around $78,000. Bucktown jobs that involve opening a rear workers’ cottage kitchen tend to run higher than a straight pull-and-replace. You’ll get a clear estimate before any construction starts.
My Bucktown greystone has original tile, millwork, and a vintage bathroom. Can you preserve those features?
That’s exactly the kind of work we do here. We’re experienced with vintage materials — hex tile floors, original wainscoting, claw-foot tubs, period millwork. We’ll tell you what’s worth keeping, what can be restored, and what’s past its useful life.
How long does a home addition take in Bucktown?
A rear or second-floor addition typically takes 4–8 months from design through construction. Add 8–12 weeks for permitting through the Chicago Department of Buildings. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the design phase.
Do you work on two-flats and multi-unit buildings in Bucktown?
Yes. We work on owner-occupied single-family homes and two-flat conversions throughout Bucktown. If you’re converting a two-flat to single-family use, or remodeling within a unit you own, we handle the full scope.
