Western Springs home remodeling is our specialty and we’ll put our nearly fifty years of experience to work for you.
We understand. Your primary bathroom is functional but woefully out-of-date, making you inwardly cringe every morning as you get ready for the day. Your elderly mother has sold her home and is moving in with you — and you need to transform your basement area into a space she can call her own. Or your kitchen — and everything in it — screams “Early 2000s,” and you’re ready for an overhaul. Whatever your reason for wanting to make changes, we’re your number one choice for Western Springs home remodeling projects.
Orren Pickell Building Group isn’t like other home remodeling firms that swing a hammer first and ask questions later. Instead, we kick off every Western Springs home remodeling project the same way we do our custom luxury home design and build services — with a complimentary consultation. Our award-winning design team will work with you to discover more about your home renovation needs, capturing your ideas and presenting suggestions and options you may not have considered. Once we have a clear vision for your home remodeling project, we’ll develop a detailed design plan that will serve as the visual guide for the remodeling project.
Regardless of which room or rooms you want to update or renovate, the Orren Pickell Building Group is ready to help. And you’ll rest easy knowing that the award-winning design, architectural, and construction teams that create and craft our custom luxury homes will be the professionals leading your home renovation project. We’ll bring the same level of attention and care to renovating your kitchen or updating your guest bathroom as we do to building a multimillion-dollar estate.
We’re proud to say that not only does the home building and renovation industry love our work — enough to bestow hundreds of awards on us over the years — but so do our clients. In fact, we’ve found that many clients who initially come to us to help them build their custom luxury homes return to us later when their needs have changed and they’re ready for updates.
Stop suffering with a home that once met your needs but now falls short — explore your options for home remodeling with the Orren Pickell Building Group. For more than 40 years, we’ve helped your friends and neighbors in Western Springs transform outdated rooms in their homes into functional, beautiful spaces.
