We just finished a full kitchen remodel with OPB and could not be happier! The project went smoothly from our first design meetings through actual construction. During the height of the pandemic no less! Our initial meetings with Eric Pickell were informative and easy, everything was answered and explained at all times. Krista Benton did the design and cabinet work; she and her team were amazing. Krista went beyond the minimum to help us choose paint, handles and everything in between. Our construction manager Kurt Stealy was always at the house and made the whole process as easy as gutting your kitchen can be. We built a new house with OPB in 1999 and knew from that experience that we were getting the best in construction and attention to detail. We love everything about our new kitchen and strongly recommend OPB!

I hired Orren Pickell for home maintenance and they always do excellent work. I love that with one call they can schedule multiple sub-contractors. I will absolutely call them again.

I have a city loft with a lot of character, but limited space that was in need of kitchen update. OPBG was referred to me via a friend based on a new program they were launching to help create a quick, yet customized/stylistic approach and solution. The process from introduction, planning, contracting to execution was seamless in terms of team vision, timelines and communication throughout the project. I particularly appreciated the designer consult and I was able to rely on the suggestions of selections offered, which made it fun and enjoyable, not overwhelming. Additionally, I found the client portal and my communication with the project supervisor very helpful in staying abreast of daily progress. I have never enjoyed being at home more and I would highly recommend working with the OPBG regardless of the size of your home project!

We just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the great job on our bathroom. We are so grateful that it was able to be finished when it was, before all of this chaos happened, and so grateful to have such a lovely bathroom at a time when we are spending all of our time at home. Take good care, and I'm sure we'll have another project in the future when things become less difficult.

Orren Pickell Buillders updated the exterior of my house and brought it into the current century. It looks amazing....well designed by their design team and well executed by their builders. We love it.

Outstanding work from start to finish on our wine cellar and tasting room. We wanted to bring in the original stone work to the cellar so that it would blend in with the rest of the home, yet have the look and feel of a special place. OP was able to bring back the original mason and help create a truly unique room that flows nicely yet has a magic of its own. Strong attention to detail and high quality products throughout.

Orren Pickell Building Group has everything you want for a successful project. From the Architect, Project Managers, cabinet makers, floor installers, dry wallers to the clean-up crew all tops in their profession. Our Living-room is a Masterpiece. The best part is they finished the project the date they committed for completion. We have also used Orren Pickell Building Group for smaller projects and repairs. They have never disappointed us. We highly recommend them.

OP is a great group of professionals. They build us an amazing and award winning custom home right out of our imagination. They also provide great ongoing maintenance service. They are available day and night and have come to our rescue for issues (unrelated to the quality of the house) many times over the years.

Pickell Builders is a fantastic company! They have remodeled our home. Then we Had them do a fantastic addition. Their work is high quality and they are very customer focused. Last year we called them to help with a perplexing problem with a friends house after a contractor had no idea how to fix it. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it! We highly recommend them!

We built an Orren Pickell home 18 years ago and have loved it! The company builds a very high-quality home and is exceedingly responsive to any issues or need the clients have. We have used the maintenance program over the years, which only adds value to our house and keeps it running in tip top shape. We would highly recommend Orren Pickell Building Group.
