Western Springs home remodeling is our specialty and we’ll put our nearly fifty years of experience to work for you.
We understand. Your primary bathroom is functional but woefully out-of-date, making you inwardly cringe every morning as you get ready for the day. Your elderly mother has sold her home and is moving in with you — and you need to transform your basement area into a space she can call her own. Or your kitchen — and everything in it — screams “Early 2000s,” and you’re ready for an overhaul. Whatever your reason for wanting to make changes, we’re your number one choice for Western Springs home remodeling projects.
Orren Pickell Building Group isn’t like other home remodeling firms that swing a hammer first and ask questions later. Instead, we kick off every Western Springs home remodeling project the same way we do our custom luxury home design and build services — with a complimentary consultation. Our award-winning design team will work with you to discover more about your home renovation needs, capturing your ideas and presenting suggestions and options you may not have considered. Once we have a clear vision for your home remodeling project, we’ll develop a detailed design plan that will serve as the visual guide for the remodeling project.
Regardless of which room or rooms you want to update or renovate, the Orren Pickell Building Group is ready to help. And you’ll rest easy knowing that the award-winning design, architectural, and construction teams that create and craft our custom luxury homes will be the professionals leading your home renovation project. We’ll bring the same level of attention and care to renovating your kitchen or updating your guest bathroom as we do to building a multimillion-dollar estate.
We’re proud to say that not only does the home building and renovation industry love our work — enough to bestow hundreds of awards on us over the years — but so do our clients. In fact, we’ve found that many clients who initially come to us to help them build their custom luxury homes return to us later when their needs have changed and they’re ready for updates.
Stop suffering with a home that once met your needs but now falls short — explore your options for home remodeling with the Orren Pickell Building Group. For more than 40 years, we’ve helped your friends and neighbors in Western Springs transform outdated rooms in their homes into functional, beautiful spaces.

Whole House Remodel in Riverwoods
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.
Sunroom Addition in Wilmette Illinois
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.
Gold Coast Basement Remodel
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.
Loft Kitchen and Bath Remodel
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.
Glenview Kitchen and Bath Remodel
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.
Lake Forest Shingle Style Home
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.
Kenilworth Attic Renovation
As her daughters outgrew their toys, Kat knew she wanted to upgrade her Kenilworth home’s third floor to give them a space of their own. Working with a designer to update two bedrooms and turn a third playroom into a teen-friendly hangout, she was introduced to the Pickell team.
Winnetka Illinois Master Suite
In spite of its amazing lakefront location, this Winnetka home had been on the market for some time. Most people found the layout too quirky, but Jenny and Craig saw possibilities—they knew they had the vision to make the home their own.
What Our Customers Are Saying
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…
