Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Irving Park, Chicago, Illinois
Walk a few blocks in Irving Park and you’ll pass a Victorian mansion, a two-flat, a Craftsman bungalow in the landmarked Villa District, and a Foursquare on an oversized city lot — all within a few minutes. The neighborhood developed over more than 60 years, from the 1880s through the 1930s, and the housing stock shows it. There’s no single dominant style here, which is exactly what makes it one of the more architecturally interesting neighborhoods on Chicago’s northwest side.
It also makes remodeling more involved. A Queen Anne from 1895 has completely different structural realities than a Prairie-style bungalow from 1922. Two-flat conversions in Irving Park often have redundant plumbing stacks and unusual floor configurations. And if your home sits within the Irving Park Boulevard Landmark District or the Villa District, exterior work triggers a separate city review process before you can pull a standard permit. Pegasus knows all of this — we’ve done gut rehabs and full remodels in Irving Park, and we understand what it actually takes to do this work right in this neighborhood.
Landmark District Permit Review
If your Irving Park home falls within the Irving Park Boulevard Landmark District or the Villa District, exterior modifications require approval from the Commission on Chicago Landmarks before the Department of Buildings will issue a permit. We've navigated this review process before and know how to prepare submissions that move through without surprises.
Load-Bearing Walls in Older Homes
Irving Park's bungalows and Victorian two-flats were built with structural walls in places most homeowners assume are just partitions. Opening a floor plan — especially between a kitchen and dining room — almost always involves a load-bearing wall assessment. We do that structural evaluation at the start of every project so there are no surprises mid-construction.
Two-Flat and Multi-Unit Conversion Work
Irving Park has a high concentration of two-flats, and many have been converted to single-family homes over the years. These conversions often leave behind redundant systems — two plumbing stacks, dual electrical services, unusual room configurations. We specialize in cleaning up these homes and rebuilding them as functional, cohesive single-family spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of home remodeling do you do in Irving Park?
We’re a design-build remodeler handling kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, basements, and whole-house projects in Irving Park, where the housing is mostly Victorians, frame houses, and bungalows. 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 Irving Park?
Most projects that touch plumbing, electrical, or structure do. Permits go through the Chicago Department of Buildings at 121 N. LaSalle Street, 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 Irving Park?
It depends on scope. In Irving Park, kitchen remodels typically run $35,000 to $110,000, bathrooms $15,000 to $60,000, and home additions $250 to $425 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 Irving Park Victorian or rowhouse without losing its character?
We document the original detail — cornices, millwork, staircases, and the facade — then restore or replicate it while modernizing everything behind it. The goal is a home that still feels historic but lives like a new one.
Can you finish or expand the lower level of my Irving Park home?
Often yes. Many Irving Park rowhouses and greystones have lower levels we can finish into family rooms, suites, or even income units, working within Chicago’s ceiling-height and egress requirements.
