Barrington home remodeling is our specialty and we’ll put our nearly fifty years of experience to work for you.
When it comes to remodeling your home, there are many things you want to consider: How can you be certain the firm you choose is capable of delivering on its design promises? How can you minimize interruption to your family life while the renovation is occurring? And how can you be sure that your renovated space flows well with the rest of your home?
At the Orren Pickell Building Group, we’re experts in home remodeling and renovation. For the past 50 years, we’ve helped homeowners in Barrington and surrounding villages remodel their homes, giving them many more years of usefulness and enjoyment.
Need to transform your basement area into a private, comfortable living space for your aging parents? Want to update your “vintage” master bathroom with fixtures, finishes, and features that reflect your current style and meet your current needs? You can count on the Orren Pickell Building Group to make it a reality.
If you’ve interviewed other remodeling firms, you may find them willing to start the demo process almost immediately, getting the project kicked off with swinging sledgehammers. But the Orren Pickell Building Group doesn’t work that way. We insist on working with you to create a comprehensive design plan just like we do for our new custom luxury home-building projects. This ensures that we’re able to accurately capture your wants, needs, and preferences and avoid any unwelcome last-minute surprises or design changes. The end result is a remodeled space that meets your needs, exceeds your expectations, and is delivered in a timely, budget-conscious manner.
Your home is special. That’s why it’s important that you don’t trust your home remodeling project to just any firm; insist on the best, the Orren Pickell Building Group. Contact us today to tell us more about your remodeling needs and learn more about our remodeling process.

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.
Sometimes, the only thing harder than living with an out-of-date kitchen is contemplating the remodeling process. Fortunately, the Pickell Rapid Remodel program made it easy for this client to get her head around costs and timing, and have a new kitchen installed within weeks of working out the design.
This Glenview, Illinois home was ready for a makeover. Bringing the kitchen and master bath up-to-date gave the whole house a fresh perspective.
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.
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 . .…
Thank you for sending Terry over on short notice. Your company’s responsiveness and customer centric attitude is why you will always be at the top of our list for construction, renovation and house maintenance matters.
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…
Orren Pickell Building Group has repeatedly proven to me how more then 20 years ago, we made the best decision to build a house with them. Since then we purchased another house and used their company to remodel it. We have used The Orren Pickell Maintenance Program for over 20 years, and we will continue…
We hired the Orren Pickell Building Group to both design and build our home, starting in 2013 and completing in 2015. Susan Hamilton was our initial contact and continued as our primary contact person through the whole process. She was delightful–both professionally and personally. Orren was also significantly and surprisingly involved throughout and our lead…
