Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Highland Park, Illinois
Highland Park’s housing spans nearly a century of North Shore residential development. The oldest homes — Victorians, Georgian Revivals, and Prairie-style residences including several designed by Frank Lloyd Wright — sit near the lakefront and in the city’s historic neighborhoods. Moving inland, you find mid-century ranches and Capes from the postwar boom, Tudors and Colonials from the ’70s and ’80s, and more recent custom builds. The range is genuine, and it means every remodeling project is its own conversation.
Pegasus Construction works throughout Highland Park. We know the difference between remodeling a Victorian near the ravines and updating a 1960s ranch in Braeside — they are not the same project. Permits go through the City’s Building Division at 1150 Half Day Road. We handle the permit application, coordinate inspections, and come to you.
Highland Park Building Permits
Remodeling permits in Highland Park go through the City's Building Division at 1150 Half Day Road, 2nd Floor — (847) 432-0808 or building@cityhpil.com. We prepare and file permit applications, handle submittals, and coordinate all required inspections.
Victorian to Mid-Century — Highland Park's Range
Highland Park's housing runs from 19th-century Victorians near the lake to postwar ranches in Braeside to newer custom builds further west. Each era has a different structural character, original systems, and remodeling logic. We assess each home on its own terms before proposing any scope of work.
Historic and Architecturally Significant Homes
Several of Highland Park's older neighborhoods have homes with real architectural significance — original Prairie-style details, Victorian millwork, and Georgian Revival proportions that are worth preserving. We remodel these homes with that in mind: modernizing what needs to be updated while keeping what gives the house its character.
