Twin Lakes Waterfront Remodel
After five years in their Lake Forest home, Stacey and David were eager to get to work on the kitchen.
Basement remodeling and finishing is our specialty. Orren Pickell Building Group is a design/build general contractor serving Wilmette, 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.

Every component of this 6,300 SF home, set on ten acres of rolling land, was planned to marry the interior and exterior with the site itself.
The walls and structure were damaged by smoke and water from fire hoses, so the home needed to be fully gutted. The Pickell remodeling team worked with the family to redefine the layout to suit the way the homeowners live today.
Now that the work is complete, the sun room has become his kids’ favorite place to sit and study. Because the original exterior doors are still in place, the room can be sealed off or opened up into the family room.
At the first meeting with Orren Pickell Building Group, the client outlined a simple basement remodel with a workout area and a place for the children to play. In subsequent meetings, however, as the family began to explore new possibilities, the scope of the project grew.

After my sister Ann recommended the Orren Pickell Building Group, emphasizing the importance of calling the best for a job well done, I decided to reach out for a consultation.

As we are getting down to the last few weeks in our home that your family built for us almost 19 years ago to the day, it’s a bittersweet time for us as we start a new chapter. We have loved every day in our home and when we selected Pickell to build our dream…
Just wanted to let you guys know that the cabinets have started going in and OMG we love them!! Krista, I believe you said at some point that the old cabinets would be no comparison to our new ones and honestly that is an understatement! I mean the kitchen is still partly undone . .…

I wanted to share my final product, which is amazing. I really don’t think the video does it justice. I know y’all typically work on a lot of big projects, but I was thrilled with the planning, selections, advise and execution! Well done and again thank you!
My name is Linda Larson. My husband, John and I have lived in one of the homes you built in Lake Barrington in 1994. We purchased it from David Galimore in 1997 and have lived here happily raising our family of five children. We put the house on the market two weeks ago and want…
