Northbrook’s housing grew fastest in the 1950s through the 1970s — L-shaped ranches in Williamsburg Square, split-levels in Huntington, Colonials throughout Southbridge Commons. The kitchens in these homes reflect that era: closed layouts, limited counter space, and designs built around appliances that have been replaced two or three times since.
Remodeling a kitchen in Northbrook means working within the realities of mid-century and early traditional construction — load-bearing walls between the kitchen and dining room, dated plumbing configurations, and floor plans that don’t match the way families cook and gather today.
Kitchen remodels in Northbrook involving plumbing or electrical work require permits from the Development and Planning Services Department at 1225 Cedar Lane. We handle the permit application and inspection coordination from start to finish.
Northbrook's ranches and split-levels were built with closed-off kitchens — a standard galley or L-shape separated from the dining room by a wall. Opening that layout almost always involves a load-bearing situation, which we assess structurally before any plans are finalized.
Northbrook's Colonials from the 1970s and '80s have formal kitchens with butler's pantry adjacencies and compartmentalized floor plans. We open these layouts thoughtfully — preserving what works while creating the connected kitchen-dining-family flow today's homeowners actually want.
At Pegasus Construction, our mission is to help Northbrook 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.

Absolutely. At Pegasus Construction, we’re dedicated to giving you full control over your remodeling budget. One of the key advantages of the design-build process is that you’ll have a clear understanding of the total cost before construction even begins.
When planning a remodel, it’s important to consider both the design and construction timelines. The duration depends largely on the project’s scope. For instance, a simple kitchen remodel might take as little as six weeks, while more complex projects can require significantly more time. Larger undertakings, such as whole-home remodels, can span much longer—some of our most extensive projects have taken 18 months or more to complete.
