Skokie’s post-war housing stock — ranches, split-levels, and brick bungalows built through the 1950s and ’60s — has kitchens that haven’t changed much since they were installed. Small galley layouts, limited counter space, and floor plans that keep the cook isolated from the rest of the house are the norm in these homes.
Remodeling a kitchen in Skokie means working within the construction realities of that era: load-bearing walls between the kitchen and dining room, older plumbing configurations, and floor plans that weren’t built for the way families cook and gather today. We assess the structure before any plans are drawn.
Kitchen remodels in Skokie involving plumbing or electrical work require permits from the Community Development Department at Village Hall, 5127 Oakton Street. We handle the permit application and inspection coordination from start to finish.
Skokie ranches and brick bungalows were built with closed-off kitchens — standard for the era, limiting for today. Opening those layouts requires a load-bearing assessment, which we do before anything is drawn or committed to. The structure tells us what's possible; we work from there.
Skokie split-levels have kitchens on the entry level that often feel squeezed between the garage and the living areas above. Reconfiguring the layout — or borrowing space from an adjacent room — requires understanding the level transitions and load paths. We assess those accurately before any renovation begins.
At Pegasus Construction, our mission is to help Skokie 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.
Pegasus Construction is a design-build firm offering Full-Process remodeling services, managing every aspect of both design and construction. While design-build firms are just one of many contractor types, we aim to provide a seamless experience for homeowners.
