The Turn-Key Home Renovation Experience
Full Process Design & Construction Remodeling
Wilmette is one of the most architecturally consistent communities on the North Shore — colonials, Tudor revivals, and craftsman bungalows that were built to last, on lots large enough to accommodate the families that live there today. These homes age gracefully, but they also accumulate decades of deferred maintenance, outdated kitchens, and layouts that were designed for a different way of living. Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, home addition, or a full overhaul, Pegasus Construction brings the same level of craftsmanship to your Wilmette home that the original builders did.
Kitchen Remodeling
You love your Wilmette home, but your kitchen could use an update. Whether refreshing an outdated style or expanding a small space to fit your culinary needs, our kitchen remodeling experts will craft a tailored plan and guide you through every option.
Bathroom Remodeling
Your Wilmette bathroom is functional, but it could be extraordinary. Let’s transform your powder room, guest bath, or primary suite into a stunning retreat. From custom tile to steam showers, saunas, and tubs, we’ll bring your dream bathroom to life.

Your Home Remodeling Contractor in Wilmette, Illinois
Wilmette hit its stride in the 1960s and ’70s, and most of the housing stock shows it — ranch homes, split-levels, and bi-levels built solid but not designed for how families actually live today. That’s the work we do here. Pegasus Construction has remodeled homes throughout Wilmette, and we know what these houses look like inside: the single-story ranch with the galley kitchen that needs to open up, the split-level with the low-ceiling lower level, the bi-level where everyone’s tripping over each other because the layout was designed for a different era.
We come to you — Wilmette is part of our core service area. When you’re ready to talk about what your home could look like, call us at (773) 377-4898 or book a free design consultation online. We pull permits through the City of Wilmette Building Department at 8 N. Elmhurst Road, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are required for a home remodel in Wilmette?
Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work requires a permit from the City of Wilmette Building Department at 8 N. Elmhurst Road. Permits must be submitted in person — email applications are not accepted. We handle the entire permit process on your behalf, including scheduling inspections.
How much does a home remodel cost in Wilmette?
It depends on scope. Kitchen remodels typically run $60,000–$150,000, bathroom remodels $25,000–$80,000, and home additions $150,000–$400,000+. We provide a detailed estimate before any work starts, and our projects average just a 5% variance from initial budget to final price.
How long does a home remodel take in Wilmette?
Kitchen remodels typically take 6–12 weeks, bathrooms 4–8 weeks, and home additions 4–10 months depending on scope. We assign a dedicated team to every project and average less than a 2-day variance from our original schedule.
Can you work on 1960s and 1970s ranch homes in Wilmette?
Yes — this is exactly the housing stock we work with most in Wilmette. Ranch and split-level homes from this era often have galley kitchens, small bathrooms, and compartmentalized floor plans. We specialize in opening these up and modernizing them without demolishing what’s still good.
Does Pegasus Construction handle multi-generational home remodels?
Absolutely. We design for multi-generational living regularly — separate entrances, accessible main-floor suites, secondary kitchenettes, and ADA-compliant bathrooms. If your family’s needs are changing, we can design a remodel that works for everyone under one roof.
Do you serve the Rob Roy area of Wilmette?
We work throughout all of Wilmette, including the Rob Roy Country Club Village area and neighborhoods along Camp McDonald Road and Elmhurst Road. If you’re not sure we serve your specific street, just call — we almost certainly do.
Is a home remodel in Wilmette a good investment?
Generally yes. Wilmette home values are solid, and kitchen and bathroom remodels consistently recover 60–80% of their cost in resale value. Home additions that add square footage often perform even better because the suburb has limited new construction inventory. A well-planned remodel here is both a lifestyle improvement and a smart financial move.
