Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Cicero, Illinois
Cicero’s residential streets are lined with the same bungalows and brick two-flats found throughout the Southwest Side of Chicago — homes built for working families in the early and mid 20th century, with kitchens designed as closed utility rooms rather than spaces for cooking and gathering together. Pegasus Construction remodels kitchens throughout Cicero and understands what these homes require: honest structural assessment, Town of Cicero permit handling, and results that actually change how a kitchen functions.
Navigating Cicero Kitchen Permits
Kitchen remodels in Cicero involving plumbing or electrical changes require permits from the Town of Cicero Building Department at 4949 W. Cermak Road. We handle permit applications and inspections so homeowners don't have to navigate the process on their own.
Working With the Bungalow Floor Plan
Cicero bungalow kitchens were built as isolated work rooms — narrow, closed off, and separate from the dining and living space. We evaluate the structural walls and open layouts where we can, improving the connection between the kitchen and the rest of the home.
Kitchens Built for Modern Families
Families in Cicero need kitchens with adequate storage, functional counter space, and layouts that make cooking and cleanup less of a chore. We design around how the household actually uses the room rather than treating every kitchen as the same problem to solve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common kitchen remodels you do in Cicero?
Most Cicero kitchens we work on are in 1920s brick bungalows and two-flats where the kitchen was built as a small, closed-off room at the back of the house. The most common project is opening that wall to the dining room and rebuilding the layout for real counter and storage space.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Cicero?
Yes — any kitchen remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or gas needs a permit from the Town of Cicero Building Department at 4949 W. Cermak Road. Cicero accepts permit applications by email now, which speeds things up, and we handle the whole submission and inspection process for you.
Can I open the wall between my kitchen and dining room in a Cicero bungalow?
Usually yes, but it depends on whether that wall is load-bearing. In most Cicero bungalows it can be opened with a properly sized beam — we check the framing before we promise anything and engineer the support so the floor above stays solid.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Cicero?
Most full kitchen remodels in Cicero land between roughly $30,000 and $70,000 depending on cabinets, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing or walls. We give you a fixed, itemized number before any work starts, so there are no surprises halfway through.
I own a two-flat in Cicero — can you remodel just the owner’s kitchen?
Yes. We do a lot of work in Cicero two-flats, and we can remodel only the owner’s unit while keeping the rental unit livable. We plan the water and electrical shutoffs around your tenant so the other unit isn’t disrupted more than necessary.
My Cicero home still has its original plumbing. What should I expect?
A lot of 1920s Cicero homes still have galvanized supply lines or old cast-iron drains hiding behind the kitchen wall. When we open things up we show you what’s there, and if it needs replacing we tell you straight — it’s cheaper to update aging plumbing while the wall is already open than to chase a leak later.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Cicero?
A typical Cicero kitchen runs about 6 to 10 weeks from demo to finish, plus a few weeks up front for design and permitting through the Town of Cicero. Older bungalows sometimes add time if we uncover outdated wiring or plumbing, and we flag that as soon as we see it.
Will a kitchen remodel add value to my Cicero home?
In Cicero’s market, an updated kitchen is one of the upgrades buyers notice most, especially in the bungalow and two-flat stock where original kitchens feel cramped. A well-built kitchen won’t just help the house sell — it makes the place better to live in while you’re still there.
