Lake Forest Shingle Style Home
Set amid more than an acre of green space in Lake Forest, this stunning custom home achieves a level of warmth and intimacy one might be surprised to find in a 4,500 s.f. property.
Basement remodeling and finishing is our specialty. Orren Pickell Building Group is a design/build general contractor serving Highland Park, IL. In many homes, basements offer the ultimate “blank slate” of underutilized square footage just begging to be turned into useful living space for the family—but oftentimes, the homeowners don’t know where to start. The designers, architects, and construction team at Orren Pickell can help, from assisting in the brainstorming process—helping generate finished basement ideas—to the build-out and maintenance phases.
Whether you’re considering basement remodeling or are interested in upgrading your existing space, you’ll appreciate Orren Pickell’s experience and commitment to detail and quality. Like all our new construction and renovation projects, we begin our basement renovation projects by meeting with you to learn about your lifestyle, your family, your design preferences, and your goals—as well as share some of our own experiences. We’ll develop a design plan based on our shared vision, and only after we agree on that design plan do we start construction. And your dedicated Orren Pickell project manager will work with you the entire time, keeping you informed and addressing any questions or concerns you have from start to finish.
Your satisfaction is our #1 goal, so we’ll always do everything we can to make it right.
