Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Gold Coast, Chicago, Illinois
Gold Coast kitchens span two very different eras — the original pre-war layouts of historic greystones and courtyard buildings, and the more recent builds in newer high-rises where the kitchens look modern but don’t function well. Pegasus Construction remodels both, delivering kitchen upgrades in Gold Coast properties that match the quality of the address.
Working With Building Management
Kitchen remodels in Gold Coast condos and co-ops require coordination with building management for access, noise windows, elevator scheduling, and material deliveries — in addition to City of Chicago permits. We handle all of it, so the project runs without friction for either the homeowner or the building.
Upgrading Historic Kitchen Layouts
Pre-war Gold Coast kitchens were designed for a different century — often separate from the living areas, with limited counter space and plumbing that hasn't been updated in decades. We reconfigure these layouts for modern cooking and entertaining while respecting the structural realities of 90-year-old construction.
Designing for Gold Coast Living
Gold Coast homeowners expect kitchens that perform at the level of the rest of their home — custom cabinetry, professional appliances, and materials that actually hold up to daily use. We design and build kitchens that match what the Gold Coast address demands, without compromising on craft or detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in River North Chicago?
In River North 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.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in River North Chicago?
Kitchen remodels in River North 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.
How do I know if a wall in my River North Chicago kitchen is load-bearing?
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.
What happens if there is old wiring or plumbing behind my kitchen walls?
It is one of the most common discoveries in River North 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.
Is a kitchen island realistic for my River North Chicago home?
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.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in River North Chicago?
Most kitchen remodels in River North 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. Pegasus coordinates deliveries and trade schedules to minimize the time your kitchen is out of service.
