Elmwood Park is a close-knit inner-ring suburb of well-kept brick bungalows, Cape Cods, Georgians, and two-flats on compact lots. Their kitchens were often built small and closed off, and opening them up is most of what we do here.
At Pegasus Construction, our mission is to help Elmwood Park 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.

Most Elmwood Park kitchens we work on are in brick bungalows, Cape Cods, and two-flats where the kitchen sits small and closed off. The most common project is opening it to the dining and living space and rebuilding for storage and modern flow.
Yes — kitchen remodels that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure need a permit from the Village of Elmwood Park Building Department at 11 Conti Parkway. We handle the application, plan review, and inspections so you don’t have to.
Often yes, but in bungalows and two-flats that wall is usually load-bearing masonry. We confirm the structure and engineer a properly sized beam before anything comes down.
Yes. We do a lot of work in Elmwood Park two-flats. We coordinate around the other unit on shutoffs and noise, and we handle the Village permit and inspections.
Yes. We modernize the kitchen’s function while keeping the bungalow details worth saving — trim, built-ins, and proportions — so the home still feels like an Elmwood Park bungalow.
Most Elmwood Park kitchen remodels run between roughly $34,000 and $72,000 depending on cabinets, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing or walls. We give you a fixed, itemized number before any work starts.
Plan on about 6 to 10 weeks of construction, plus design and the Village permit. Older homes can add time if we find outdated wiring or plumbing, and we flag that early.
Yes — the closed-off original kitchens in Elmwood Park’s bungalows and two-flats feel dated to buyers. A well-built, open kitchen both helps the home sell and makes daily life better.
