Lake Bluff home remodeling is our specialty and we’ll put our nearly fifty years of experience to work for you.
Did you know? According to Realtor magazine, kitchen remodeling is the most popular home remodeling job, with bathroom remodeling, whole-house remodeling, and room additions rounding out the top four. And it’s not surprising.
If you’re like many people in Lake Bluff, you may love your existing home but wish that things were just a bit different. Maybe your kitchen is fine, but your primary bathroom is in desperate need of an update, removing the never-used garden tub and installing a spacious shower and vanity area. Or perhaps your bathrooms are in good shape, but what you really need is a private room added for your elderly father, giving him a space of his own while still keeping him safe at home.
Regardless of your reason for wanting to remodel your home, the Orren Pickell Building Group can help. Unlike other home remodeling companies, we don’t start swinging hammers and ask questions later. Instead, we’ll meet with you for a complimentary consultation, learning more about the room(s) you want to renovate and how you want them to be different. Our award-winning designers and architects will work hand-in-hand with you, identifying functionality, technology, and design elements you may not otherwise have considered. Once we’ve developed a clear idea for your remodeling project, we’ll create a detailed design plan for your approval. Only after your approval do we start demoing your existing space and transforming it into your new room.
Why choose the Orren Pickell Building Group for your remodeling project? Our reputation. Not only do the home building and remodeling industries love us — so much so that they’ve given us hundreds of awards over the decades — but our clients love us too. In fact, many of our renovation clients started out as home building clients, turning to us for high-quality renovations and room transformations.
