Home remodeling in Wakefield
Kitchens, baths, attic suites and additions, designed and built by one team.
Wakefield projects, start to finish
Each page has the story, the photos, the floor plans where we have them, and what projects like it cost.
Attic Conversion with Primary Suite
An unused attic became a finished third floor with a new staircase, a dormer, a primary bedroom and a bath with a walk-in shower.
Kitchen, Sunroom and Bath Remodel
A block wall came out on an LVL beam to join the kitchen and an old sunroom, plus a renovated bath and 18 new windows.
What Wakefield houses usually need
About 66% of Wakefield homes were built before 1970 (US Census, American Community Survey 2019–23). Across our Wakefield jobs since 2010, the same kinds of work come up again and again. A project can count in more than one category.
Kitchens
Galley kitchens and kitchens closed off from a sunroom or dining room. We open walls on new beams and bring the floors to one level.
Bathrooms
Hall baths, primary baths and new baths, often as part of a kitchen, attic or whole-house project.
Attics, additions and in-law space
Attic primary suites with dormers, additions, and in-law space for family members.

In their words
“The initial design was spot on. Work began on schedule and proceeded as scheduled, substantially finishing the work within the eight weeks as promised, despite a few changes on our end.”
“The finished product checked off all of our wish list items and more without changing the character and feel of our beloved older home.”
“If you are getting multiple quotes (which you should), PEGASUS will not be the cheapest, but the value is real.”
One team from first sketch to final walkthrough
We start with a conversation about your house, your goals and your budget range, and agree on scope before any drawings.
Our in-house designer measures the house, draws the options in 3D and sets a budget. Before construction we finish every selection and lock a firm price.
Our project manager and crew build it, with a detailed schedule and daily updates.
