Are you thinking about adding a room to your home? You’re not alone. If you love your current home but simply need a bit more space, a home addition can be a sensible investment — and increasing your square footage is always good for your resale value.
The Orren Pickell Building Group is ready to design and construct a home addition that is both beautiful and practical, and flows seamlessly with the look and feel of the rest of your house. Since 1971, we’ve helped homeowners right here in Long Grove to add valuable space to their homes — and we can help you too.
The Orren Pickell Building Group’s process for creating your home addition follows the same process we use when building our luxury custom homes and providing high-quality home renovations. First, we’ll sit down with you and find out more about your needs, providing ideas and suggestions for features and functionality you may want to consider. Then, after you sign off on your custom design plan, our master craftsmen will begin constructing your home addition. And because our teams have experience working within Long Grove’s strict building regulations, you don’t have to worry about unnecessary delays or unforeseen surprises.
Adding a room to your home ensures you’ll give every member of your family the space they need to truly relax. You don’t have to suffer with a too-small home — we can help you do something about it!
