Kelvin Park is a small Northwest Side neighborhood near Logan Square and Avondale, built up with brick two-flats, bungalows, and worker cottages in the early 1900s. Kitchens in these homes were built compact and closed off, so most remodels here open them up while honoring the vintage detail.
We remodel kitchens throughout Kelvin Park, from two-flat units to single-family cottages. Our work modernizes the layout and finishes while keeping the craftsmanship these classic Chicago homes are known for.

In Kelvin Park Chicago, any project involving structural changes, new electrical circuits, or plumbing alterations requires a permit from the Chicago Department of Buildings. Cosmetic updates like painting, new cabinet doors, and replacing fixtures with like-for-like models generally do not. Your Pegasus project manager will pull all required permits before any work begins.
Kitchen remodels in Kelvin Park Chicago typically range from $25,000 for a mid-range update to $85,000 or more for a full high-end renovation. The biggest cost drivers are cabinet quality, countertop material, appliances, and whether the layout changes. Pegasus provides a detailed line-item estimate before any contract is signed.
In vintage Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and greystones, walls running perpendicular to floor joists or sitting directly above a beam or foundation wall are often load-bearing. Our team identifies structural walls during the pre-construction walkthrough. If a wall needs to come down, we install a properly engineered header so you get the open layout you want safely.
It is one of the most common discoveries in Kelvin Park Chicago homes. Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, or undersized drain lines often need to be brought up to current code before finishing. Pegasus walks you through any surprises immediately and provides updated cost options before proceeding.
An island needs at least 42 inches of clearance on all sides for comfortable movement. Many vintage Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and greystones have kitchens that can accommodate a modest island once a layout is optimized. We show you a scaled floor plan during design so you can see exactly what is possible before any demo begins.
Most kitchen remodels in Kelvin Park Chicago take four to seven weeks from demo to punch list, depending on scope and material lead times. Cabinet and countertop orders are the longest lead items.
