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Sometimes, the only thing harder than living with an out-of-date kitchen is contemplating the remodeling process.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.

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!

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…
