A Melrose Design-Build Firm Built on Planning, Craft, and Long-Term Relationships
At PEGASUS Design-To-Build, every project starts the same way it did when Geoffrey Shafer founded the firm in Melrose in 2001: a conversation. We are still a locally owned, owner-led design-build firm serving families across Melrose, Arlington, Winchester, Stoneham, and the surrounding towns in Northern Boston suburbs.
We deliberately keep our project list short each year so every homeowner we take on gets the same team, the same designer, and the same attention to detail from the first conversation through the final walk-through. That is how we protect the quality of the work, and it is why so many of our clients come to us through referrals from neighbors we have already built for.

What We Design and Build
Kitchen Remodeling
Rebuilt kitchens designed around how your family actually lives, cooks, and gathers. From Melrose Victorians to Winchester Colonials, we handle layout, custom cabinetry, stone counters, and every selection in between, under one firm price before we start.
What We Design and Build
Kitchen Additions
When a remodel needs more footprint, we expand the home itself. Bump-outs, full additions, and opened-up floor plans that connect your kitchen to the rest of your home and to your backyard. Structural, envelope, and finish work, all under one design-build agreement.
What We Design and Build
Home Additions
Primary suites, family rooms, in-law space, and second-floor or tear-off additions tailored to the home you already have. Our Architectural Designer and trades specialize in matching rooflines, trim profiles, and proportion so the new space looks like it was always there, not tacked on after the fact.
What We Design and Build
Whole Home Remodels
The biggest projects we take on, planned completely before construction begins. Reconfigured floor plans, updated systems, and new finishes throughout, delivered with daily communication and a firm price you can plan around. The right fit for families ready to reimagine their home without starting over.
What We Design and Build
Master Bathroom Remodels
Primary bathrooms designed for daily use and built to last. Walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and the kind of tile and cabinetry work that ages past the trend cycle. Planned in our Melrose showroom with materials you can see and touch before you commit.
What We Design and Build
ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) and In-Law Suites
Accessory dwelling units designed for the new Massachusetts ADU law, your lot, and the way your family actually lives. Above-garage, basement, or detached. We handle feasibility, zoning, design, and construction as one continuous project.
Our Design-Build Process
Every project starts with a conversation. We come alongside you to understand your vision, your home, and your investment range, then align on scope and priorities before any drawings begin.

In Our Clients' Words
They did excellent work for us in a redone basement and bathrooms ~4 years ago. Still holding up brilliantly!
Liz Lehtonen
Pegasus did a first floor addition to our home which included a primary bedroom, spacious closet, three piece bathroom, and pantry space. I cannot say enough positive things about working with this company! They made our vision come to life (thanks Jenna!) in a tight space. Start to finish everyone we interacted with was personable, highly skilled, and responsive. The project was completed on budget and quicker than the initial time projection. We lived in the home with two toddlers and a dog during the construction (while also working from home) and it was truly minimally disruptive to our daily routines. We received daily emails on the progress of the work which was so helpful (Mike is the best!). The space is gorgeous and makes me feel like I'm living in a fancy hotel. They are the best contractors I have ever worked with! I would highly recommend them!
Lara Rubinstein
Pegasus was awesome. Their communication was prompt and pleasant, we loved working with them. Our kitchen came together beautifully and they planned a beautiful space for us to live in!! Jenna is both an artist and a genius. We loved her design!
Jenni Somers
We absolutely loved every step of the home renovation process with Pegasus. We had our kitchen redone, and they had great ideas on layout and materials. They were extremely organized and communicative, and every member of their staff that we interacted with was professional and wonderful to work with. And we love our new kitchen. We would gladly seek them out for future work, and highly recommend them.
Paula Kulis
We had an amazing experience with Pegasus. We completed a kitchen remodel and mudroom/master bath/closet addition. They were on time, on budget, and so nice to work with. Every single person on the team was wonderful, and now we're living in our dream home!
Erin Molloy
Pegasus Contracting recently completed a kitchen renovation for me, and from start to finish they were absolutely wonderful to work with. They provided great recommendations and advice at the beginning around all the aspects - design, cabinets, tile, counter, flooring, lighting, appliances. The quality of the work throughout was excellent, their team is very experienced, dedicated, and respectful. I was tremendously grateful for the daily communication from the project manager; what a difference it made when living through a renovation to be kept informed on progress and what was planned for the next day. With highly skilled workers and expert coordination of all the phases of the project, my kitchen was completed exactly on timeline. Wow!
Helen
Working with Pegasus was a great experience. We were very nervous about doing a major renovation due to the bad experiences of other family members we have, but Pegasus guided us through the entire process. Jenna was fantastic working with us on design options and once construction got underway, Mike provided us with daily e-mail updates so we knew exactly what was going on.
No renovation project is going to be totally smooth, but Pegasus takes a lot of stress out of the process. I'd happily recommend them to anyone else seeking to do a home improvement project.
