Nowhere in our service area is golf simulator demand stronger than Burr Ridge, and nowhere are the basements better suited to answer it. The footprints here are the biggest we build on, which changes the design conversation entirely: the simulator is rarely a standalone room but the anchor of a whole lower level, sharing the floor with a theater, a bar, a wine room, and a gym. At that scale the sim bay gets what it deserves, a generous hitting area with true depth behind the golfer, a large-format impact screen, and a putting green that is a feature rather than a footnote.
We still begin where every simulator project should, verifying swing clearance against your actual ceiling structure, then we plan the full floor as one design so lighting, sound, and circulation work across every zone. The bay itself gets a commercial impact screen and sealed enclosure, premium turf, a ceiling-mounted projector placed to eliminate shadow at address, and lighting zoned so the screen stays vivid beside the lounge. ONIT Restoration runs design, permits, and construction as one licensed and insured team. Free in-home consultation, itemized quote, typical builds of 6 to 10 weeks, financing available on larger projects. Call (815) 217-9050.
It starts with a free in-home design consultation. We measure your basement, check moisture and mechanicals, and talk through how you want the space to live. You get a design and an itemized quote, we handle permits and inspections, and one team runs the build from the first cut to the final walkthrough. Most projects take 6 to 10 weeks of construction.
Usually yes, the newer estate homes here tend to carry the tall foundations a driver swing wants, but we verify it on every project. We measure clear height at the exact hitting position against joists, beams, and duct runs, because even a deep basement can hide one obstruction in the swing path. The bay is positioned only after clearance is confirmed.
That is the signature Burr Ridge project. We design the entire floor at once, so the sim bay, theater, bar, wine room, and gym each get correct lighting, sound isolation, and circulation instead of competing with each other. One team carries it from design through permits and construction, and the itemized quote covers the whole level in plain line items.
Typical builds run 6 to 10 weeks, and a full lower level with a simulator, theater, and bar sits at the longer end of that range, occasionally beyond it for the largest scopes. We map the schedule at the design stage so there are no surprises, and financing is available on larger projects. The free in-home consultation starts the clock.
