Are you considering a Oak Brook basement remodeling project but aren’t sure where to start? The Orren Pickell Building Group can help. As the top-rated basement remodeling contractor in Oak Brook, we’ve helped many Oak Brook homeowners — including your friends and neighbors — to make the most of their basement space.
Over the years, basements have gotten a bad rap. In movies, they’re often portrayed as dark, dungeon-like places that the homeowners are scared to visit. In television shows, many times, they’re shown as forgotten places, filled with outdated furniture and family “relics” that no longer serve a purpose.
But the reality is that your basement can and should feel just as comfortable, luxurious, and beautiful as every other area in your home. And renovating your basement to bring it up to the standards found elsewhere in your home will not only increase your family’s enjoyment of the space but will increase your home’s value.
Make the most of your basement space by choosing the Orren Pickell Building Group to lead your basement remodeling project. As Oak Brook’s top-rated basement remodeling contractor, we have real-world experience helping homeowners transform uninspired basement spaces into places that the whole family can enjoy for years to come.
What can you do with your basement space? The sky is the limit. The pandemic caused many homeowners to add home gyms, installing weights, treadmills, and other exercise equipment so they could stay fit without needing to leave home. Other homeowners are adding theater rooms or game rooms, creating spaces where they can spend time with family and friends having fun. Wine cellars and bars, living spaces for elderly parents, and even dedicated “his” and “hers” areas are all other ideas for how you can transform your basement space.
Whatever reason you want to remodel your basement — or whatever kinds of spaces you wish to create there — the Orren Pickell Building Group is ready to assist. You can rely on your Orren Pickell project manager to supervise every aspect of your Oak Brook basement remodeling project, updating you throughout and ensuring your concerns are addressed. Ready to make a new basement a reality? Get in touch with us today.
