Long Grove’s homes sit on some of the largest lots in the northwest suburbs — wooded one- and two-acre parcels along winding, sidewalk-free roads. Most kitchens here belong to custom traditional and transitional homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s, with a scattering of older farmhouses near the historic village center. They tend to be generously sized but compartmentalized, with formal layouts and finishes homeowners now want opened up. We remodel Long Grove kitchens with that scale in mind, reworking oversized footprints and coordinating Village of Long Grove permitting.
At Pegasus Construction, our mission is to help Long Grove 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.

“…I felt truly heard and valued during our conversation. I came to your company with questions about our projects, and Greg provided thoughtful, flexible scenarios and options to help us achieve our goals. He genuinely seemed to care about me and my family as real people.”
Yes. The Village of Long Grove requires permits for kitchen projects that involve structural changes, new or relocated electrical circuits, or plumbing work. Cosmetic-only updates like cabinet refacing or new countertops usually don’t, but because many Long Grove homes are on private well and septic, we confirm scope with the Village before any plumbing change and manage the permits for you.
Most Long Grove kitchen remodels run from about $35,000 for a mid-range refresh to $120,000 or more for a full estate-scale renovation. The larger footprints and higher-end finishes common in Long Grove homes push projects toward the upper end. We give you a fixed, line-item budget after the design phase so there are no surprises.
In the larger custom and transitional homes common in Long Grove, the wall between the kitchen and adjacent family or dining rooms is frequently load-bearing, and two-story sections add roof and floor loads above. We open a small inspection point to check framing direction and what sits overhead before committing to a layout, and we engineer and price any needed beam up front.
It comes up regularly in homes built across two or three decades. We sometimes find aluminum branch wiring, undersized circuits, or supply lines not sized for today’s appliances, plus well-pressure and septic factors unique to Long Grove. We flag anything during demolition, show you the issue, and fold the fix into the plan rather than springing a change order on you.
Usually yes. Long Grove kitchens tend to be roomy enough for a generous island, sometimes two. The key is keeping at least 42 inches of clearance on every side and planning the electrical, and sometimes plumbing, a big island needs. We model the island in your actual space during design so you can see clearances before anything is built.
Most Long Grove kitchen remodels take about five to eight weeks from demolition to final punch list. The larger, higher-spec kitchens here run a little longer than a standard suburban kitchen, and custom cabinetry or specialty materials can extend lead times. We give you a week-by-week schedule before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
