Why Homeowners Trust PEGASUS Design-To-Build with Their Home Remodel

Learn Why We're the Remodeler Your Friends and Neighbors Trust 

One Team From Design Through Construction

Our design-build methodology brings design and construction together, so you don't have to coordinate separate designers, contractors, and other professionals.

That continuity matters.

Decisions made during design affect pricing. Material selections affect scheduling. Existing conditions can affect both design and construction. When these responsibilities are separated, important information can be lost between teams.

Our Responsibility 

PEGASUS Design-To-Build takes responsibility for the project from the beginning.

We work with you to understand your goals, evaluate the existing home, develop the design, make selections, establish the project scope and budget, prepare for construction, and then manage the work through completion.

The goal is not simply to create a beautiful design. It is to develop a project that can be successfully built.

A Better Remodeling Experience Starts With a Better Process

A major home renovation requires more than good design and skilled construction. You are trusting our company with your home, your budget, and so much more.

At PEGASUS Design-To-Build, we’ve spent 25 years developing a process that makes remodeling more organized, transparent, and predictable. From early design and budgeting through construction, communication, and warranty support, one team remains accountable for the entire project.

Our Approach

The PEGASUS Design-To-Build approach combines design, pre-construction planning, realistic budgeting, experienced project management, trusted industry relationships, consistent communication, and long-term accountability under one design-build team.

Pre-Construction Planning Before the Work Begins

A smoother remodeling experience starts well before demolition.

PEGASUS Design-To-Build works through plans, selections, pricing, scheduling, and long-lead materials before construction begins. This helps establish a clear scope and realistic remodeling timeline while reducing avoidable surprises.

You cannot eliminate every unknown, especially in older homes, but thorough preparation makes a significant difference.

Setting a Realistic Remodeling Budget

Budget conversations should happen during planning, not after a homeowner has fallen in love with a design.

At PEGASUS Design-To-Build, design and budget develop together. We consider how layout, materials, selections, structural work, and existing conditions affect the overall investment.

The more we define before construction, the more accurately the project can be planned and priced. Our cost guide resource shows you the details that matter when pricing out your remodel. 

Communication Throughout the Remodeling Process

We believe you should not have to wonder what is happening in your own home.

During construction, our clients receive regular updates about schedules, milestones, selections, and upcoming decisions. Plans, specifications, and schedules are also organized through a dedicated project website.

When families remain at home during construction, clear expectations and consistent communication help make the disruption more manageable.

Relationships With Trusted Industry Partners

After nearly 3 decades in remodeling, PEGASUS Design-To-Build has developed relationships with trusted tradespeople, suppliers, manufacturers, and industry professionals.

These relationships help us coordinate materials, trades, schedules, and design decisions. Instead of you managing multiple parties yourself, we coordinate the team needed to move the project forward.

Accountability After Construction

Our responsibility does not end when construction is complete.

PEGASUS Design-To-Build provides a one-year warranty on our work and remains a clear point of contact after completion.

We have served local homeowners since 2001, and our reputation depends on the relationships we maintain long after a project is finished.

Reducing Change Orders Through Better Planning

Our goal is to minimize change orders through detailed planning.

We finalize selections early, define a clear scope, align the design with the budget, and investigate existing conditions before construction.

Some changes may still arise from homeowner requests or hidden conditions, but we would rather answer questions before construction than make costly decisions in the middle of it.

25 Years of Remodeling Experience

After nearly 30 years of residential remodeling, we know successful projects come from making hundreds of smaller decisions in the right order.

Our experience with kitchens, additions, whole home remodeling, bathrooms, ADUs, and older New England homes helps us anticipate challenges and plan with construction realities in mind from the beginning.

Experienced Project Management

Strong project management keeps a well-designed project moving.

PEGASUS Design-To-Build coordinates schedules, trades, materials, inspections, and day-to-day details throughout construction.

Because our project managers are part of the same design-build team, they already understand the plans, selections, budget, and client expectations. This provides continuity from design through completion.

Our Design-Build Process

1 | Discover

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.

2 | Design
Our in-house Architectural Designer turns your goals into conceptual drawings and a budgetary estimate built on allowances. After you sign the construction Letter of Intent, the same designer carries you through pre-construction, where we finalize every selection, bring in engineering for stamped drawings, and lock down a firm construction price.
3 | Deliver
Once the design is approved, our project manager and craftsmen take your plans from concept to completion with daily communication and detailed scheduling. The result is a home finished to the standard you agreed to, on time and on budget.

Pegasus Design-to-Build Favicon

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.
