Deerfield’s housing is mostly mid-century ranches, split-levels, and brick Colonials built between the 1950s and 1970s. Their kitchens were closed off and built for a different era, and modernizing them is most of what we do here.
At Pegasus Construction, our mission is to help Deerfield homeowners transform their current kitchen into their dream kitchen. However, not every kitchen remodeling project is the right match for our team. Here’s how to determine if Pegasus Construction is the right fit for your kitchen remodel.

“…I felt truly heard and valued during our conversation. I came to your company with questions about our projects, and Greg provided thoughtful, flexible scenarios and options to help us achieve our goals. He genuinely seemed to care about me and my family as real people.”
Most Deerfield kitchens we work on are in 1950s–70s ranches, split-levels, and brick Colonials where the kitchen was closed off from the rest of the house. The most common project is opening it to the family room and rebuilding for an island, better storage, and the way families actually cook today.
Yes — any kitchen remodel touching plumbing, electrical, or structure needs a permit from the Village of Deerfield’s Community Development Department. Deerfield runs permits through its OpenGov online system with inspections by SAFEbuilt, and we handle the application and inspections start to finish.
Usually yes. Deerfield Colonials and ranches often have a wall between the kitchen and dining or family room that can come down with the right beam. We confirm what’s load-bearing and engineer the support before anything gets opened up.
Most Deerfield kitchen remodels run between roughly $45,000 and $90,000, reflecting the larger kitchens and higher-end finishes common on the North Shore. We give you a fixed, itemized number before we start so the budget matches the actual scope.
Plan on about 7 to 11 weeks of construction, plus a few weeks up front for design and the Village of Deerfield permit review. Older homes occasionally add time if we find outdated wiring or plumbing behind the walls, and we flag that early.
A lot of Deerfield homes from the 1950s and ’60s still have original wiring, cast-iron drains, or undersized electrical service. When we open the kitchen we show you what’s there and tell you straight what’s worth updating while the walls are open versus what can wait.
That’s the point. Whether it’s a mid-century ranch in Northwoods or a brick Colonial in Woodland Park, we design the kitchen to fit the house — trim, cabinetry, and proportions that look like they belong rather than a generic remodel dropped in.
In Deerfield’s market, the kitchen is one of the first things North Shore buyers judge. A well-built, updated kitchen both helps the home sell and makes daily life better while you’re still in it.
