Clarendon Hills, Illinois
Behind the village charm, Clarendon Hills has become a rebuild town, and the newer homes carry tall, dry foundations that deserve more than storage shelves. Wine rooms here trend toward the dramatic, full glass enclosures off a lounge, label-forward display racking, and cooling sized to hold cellar temperature through an August heat wave.
We also build the rooms that pair with them, cigar lounges and concealed speakeasy doors included, so the wine wall becomes part of a larger evening space. ONIT Restoration is licensed and insured, handles village permits, and works from itemized quotes with financing available on larger projects.
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 12 weeks of construction.
The newer homes here carry tall, dry foundations, so we build full-height glass wine rooms with display racking, dedicated cooling, and lighting designed around the labels. Many sit beside a lounge or bar, and some hide behind a paneled speakeasy door. The finish level matches the main floor, because in this village it has to.
Yes, and the pairing is popular here, with one caveat: they must be separate sealed rooms. Cigar lounges need dedicated ventilation, wine rooms need stable cool humidity, and smoke must never reach the bottles. We design the two side by side with independent systems so each room does its job properly.
We will not quote you an appraisal number, but buyers in this market expect finished lower levels, and a true conditioned cellar distinguishes a home from one with bare shelving. What we can promise is permitted, code-compliant work, itemized pricing, and build quality that holds up at showing time.
