Orren Pickell Building Group is the premier home remodeling company in Winnetka, IL

Orren Pickell Building Group is the premier home remodeling company in Winnetka IL. We specialize in home additions and whole house renovations. And though we may be best known for our multi-million dollar custom home designs, our renovations and remodels have received accolades and awards throughout the industry.

The same team of designers, architects, and construction professionals that craft our custom homes bring their skill sets to our home improvement projects. What does this mean? You get that same eye for detail, the same high-quality level of professionalism, and the same commitment to service as if you were building a brand new home with us. And just like on our new construction projects, our home improvements projects begin by meeting with you to find out more about your vision: what are your wants and your needs for this project? How can the space work better for your lifestyle? What design elements, colors, and finishes speak to you?

Your satisfaction is our #1 goal, so we’ll always do everything we can to make it right.

A few of our recent projects

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.

Once we understand your vision and have shared our ideas and expertise with you, we’ll develop a design plan to guide the project’s construction phase. Unlike other firms that hire remodeling contractors to start swinging hammers immediately, our in-house construction team members don’t begin work until we’ve agreed upon the design plan and have a clear vision. Your Orren Pickell project manager will work with you every step of the way on your Wilmette renovations, providing updates, answering questions, and ensuring any changes you make are fully communicated. 

Remodeling houses can be tricky, which is why it’s so important you work with a proven, trusted partner. Whether you want to improve your Wilmette home’s functionality by adding more space, transforming your master closet into a showpiece fit for a queen, or completing a whole home renovation, the Orren Pickell building group can help. Get in touch with us today for a no-cost consultation.

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…
