Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Evanston, Illinois
More than 40 percent of Evanston’s housing was built before 1939 — making it one of the most architecturally historic communities in Illinois. The Ridge Historic District preserves Italianate and Queen Anne homes from the 19th century. The Lakeshore Historic District runs along Lake Michigan with Victorian-era estates. The Oakton Historic District features Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival homes from the 1910s and ’20s. These aren’t just old houses — they’re buildings with genuine architectural pedigree that require a specific kind of contractor to touch.
Remodeling in Evanston means navigating the structural realities of pre-war construction — plaster-and-lathe walls, original hardwood framing, radiator systems, and layouts that predate modern code — while also managing the City’s historic preservation requirements for properties in or near the three historic districts. Pegasus has remodeled homes throughout Evanston and understands what both the buildings and the approval process actually require.
Historic District and Landmark Review
Properties within Evanston's Ridge, Lakeshore, and Oakton historic districts require review by the City's Preservation Commission for exterior modifications. The permit desk is at 909 Davis Street (City Hall, first floor), walk-in hours Tuesday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon. We prepare the required submissions and navigate the review process without delays.
Victorian, Craftsman, and Tudor Revival Construction
Evanston's pre-war homes — Victorians, Craftsmans, Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals — were built with methods 80 to 130 years removed from current standards. Plaster-and-lathe walls, original radiator systems, and load-bearing configurations that don't follow any modern assumption. We assess all of it before committing to a scope so there are no surprises mid-project.
Northwestern-Adjacent, Lake Michigan Close
Evanston homeowners stay for reasons hard to replace: proximity to Lake Michigan, walkable access to a genuine downtown, the Purple Line to Chicago, and Northwestern's campus energy. A renovation that brings a Victorian or Tudor Revival home into the 21st century is how owners hold onto an address that simply doesn't exist most places in Chicagoland.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of home remodeling do you do in Evanston?
We’re a design-build remodeler handling kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, basements, and whole-house projects in Evanston, where the housing is mostly Victorians, Prairie School homes, foursquares, and vintage condos. We manage design through construction under one roof, so one accountable team carries your project from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Do I need a permit to remodel my home in Evanston?
Most projects that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure do. Permits go through the City of Evanston, and we handle the application, plan review, and inspections so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself.
How much does a home remodel cost in Evanston?
It depends on scope. In Evanston, kitchen remodels typically run $45,000 to $150,000, bathrooms $20,000 to $80,000, and home additions $300 to $500 per square foot. After the design phase we give you a fixed, line-item budget so there are no surprises.
How do you remodel a historic Evanston home, including Prairie and Wright-era houses?
We balance modern function with preservation — documenting and restoring original detail while updating kitchens, baths, and systems. In Evanston, historic-district or landmark review can apply, and we manage that process.

Yes. We design rear and upper additions that match the original architecture and satisfy Evanston’s preservation standards, so the addition looks like it was always there.
