History

Established in 1975.

While attending Bradley University, Orren Pickell’s original painting and decorating business quickly evolved into a full remodeling operation. In 1975 Orren built his first home, almost exclusively with his own two hands. Committed to the highest quality, service and value, Orren Pickell Designers & Builders continued to grow and is now recognized as one of the premier full-​service custom home firms in the Midwest. Today, we celebrate over 35 years of expertise in all aspects of home design, construction and maintenance. Orren’s company has achieved the financial stability and established strict standards that allow us to continually exceed our clients’ expectations. We have streamlined our processes, utilized the newest technologies and we adhere to fundamental values that make us a most dedicated partner for remodeling or building your dream home. Our longevity, creativity and buying power are your assurance of the highest quality, craftsmanship and service in the industry.
