We are Highland Park’s Leading Kitchen Remodeling Company

Orren Pickell Building Group is a design/build general contractor serving Highland Park, IL. Kitchen remodeling is our specialty. And just like our award-winning home building projects, our kitchen remodel practice begins with a thoughtful conversation with you, the client. What, if anything, works for you in your current kitchen? What is your lifestyle? How often do you entertain? What will your family and your life look like in five years? Ten years? What specific design ideas resonate with you? 

After gaining a better understanding of your needs, preferences, and goals and sharing our ideas and experiences with you, our design and architect team will develop a remodeling design plan that will serve as the blueprint for the remodeling process. We’ll work together to identify any areas of concern and make tweaks before remodeling the kitchen begins in full.

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.

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.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process

Remodeling kitchens can feel like an overwhelming process—that’s why we provide you with a dedicated project manager throughout the process. Your Orren Pickell project manager will keep you updated on your remodeling project, communicating any changes or concerns you may have and providing you with answers to any questions. 

And unlike other Highland Park design/build firms, Orren Pickell has custom cabinetry design staff on our team; in fact, we offer our own custom kitchen cabinetry through our CabinetWerks division. CabinetWerks allows us to provide our clients with high-end custom cabinetry tailor-made to our exact specifications and quality standards. It’s just another way that Orren Pickell ensures that when you’re remodeling the kitchen in your home, it turns out exactly the way you imagined it would.

What Our Customers Are Saying

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…
