Homeowners undertake Oak Brook home additions for many reasons. Perhaps you’re tired of your cramped, dark closet and want an expansive, boutique-like space to store and display your clothing, shoes, and accessories. Maybe your family is growing and needs to add another bedroom to give everyone their own space. Or perhaps you want to bring the outdoors in, creating a sunroom that will allow you to enjoy your beautiful view.
No matter what your reason for adding a room or the type of room you wish to add, the Orren Pickell Building Group can help. For the past 40-plus years, we’ve helped your friends and neighbors right here in Oak Brook to expand their homes, increasing their usefulness and enhancing their enjoyment.
Just like with our luxury custom home building and home renovation services, we aim to make Oak Brook home additions an enjoyable, stress-free process. We’ll kick things off with a complimentary consultation where we’ll learn more about your needs, your lifestyle, your preferences, and how you want your home to work better for you. We’ll make suggestions and give expert home addition advice based on our extensive real-world experience creating home additions for other clients. We’ll also show you home addition projects we’ve created for different clients, providing you with ideas you may want to incorporate into your own home addition.
Once we develop a home addition design plan that meets your approval, we’ll hand it over to our in-house construction team to kick off the building process. And throughout the process, your dedicated Orren Pickell Building Group project manager will be your single point of contact, answering your questions and addressing any concerns.
Get in touch with us at the Orren Pickell Building Group to schedule a time to discuss your home addition.
