Home remodeling in Winchester
Kitchens, additions and second stories, designed and built by one team.
Winchester projects, start to finish
Each page has the story, the photos, the floor plans where we have them, and what projects like it cost.
Open Kitchen and Dining Remodel
The kitchen opened to a rear addition on a flush steel beam, with a long charcoal island and new oak floors.
Kitchen Addition with Butler's Pantry
A bigger kitchen, a butler's pantry with leaded-glass doors, a mudroom, a powder room and a new front porch.
Open Kitchen and Deck Remodel
Kitchen and dining joined into one room on a flush steel beam under low ceilings, with a new deck.
Second-Story Addition
We took off the old roof, framed and closed in a new second floor, and finished the exterior in stone, clapboard and copper.
What Winchester houses usually need
About 70% of Winchester homes were built before 1970 (US Census, American Community Survey 2019–23). Across our 19 Winchester jobs, the same kinds of work come up again and again.
Kitchens
Kitchens closed off from the dining room or a later addition. We take out walls, carrying load-bearing ones on new beams, often set flush with the ceiling.
Bathrooms
Primary baths, kids' baths and powder rooms, from new tile and vanities to separate showers and tubs.
Additions and second stories
Rear and side additions, two-story additions and new second floors when the house needs more room.

“If you hire Pegasus, you will not be disappointed.”

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.

Can you open a kitchen when the ceilings are low?
Yes. In two Winchester kitchens we carried the opening on a steel beam set flush with the ceiling joists, so the ceiling stays flat with no beam hanging below it. See one of those kitchens
Can you add a second story in Winchester?
Yes. On one Winchester house we took off the old roof, framed and closed in the new second floor and finished the exterior. See that project
Which Winchester neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them. Our Winchester jobs have been in the Town Center, Wedgemere, Winchester Highlands, North Main and the West Side.
Does Winchester review demolition of older houses?
Yes. Under the town's demolition delay bylaw, the Historical Commission can delay a demolition permit for up to 12 months for buildings built before 1941 or listed on the National or state historic registers. It matters most for teardowns and large additions that remove part of an older house. Winchester News on the demolition delay bylaw
Can I add an ADU or in-law apartment in Winchester?
Since February 2, 2025, Massachusetts law allows an accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts, up to 900 square feet or half the size of the main house, whichever is smaller, with no owner-occupancy requirement. Local setback and building rules still apply. State ADU rules
