Darien, Illinois
A practical training basement beats an ambitious one that never gets built, and Darien families tend to agree. The town's solid 70s through 90s housing stock holds plenty of original or dated basements where a value-focused remodel, turf, netting where height allows, and a straightforward strength area, delivers daily use without luxury pricing.
ONIT Restoration measures your ceiling honestly, since older Darien homes vary, and designs to the clearance that exists. Every quote is itemized so scope can flex with budget. Free in-home design consultations, permits handled, licensed and insured, typical builds 6 to 12 weeks.
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.
Some do, many do not. Nine feet is the working minimum for tee and soft-toss hitting, ten or more the ideal for full swings, and 70s through 90s basements land on both sides of that line. We measure the true clearance first and design to the honest number.
The essentials done right. Athletic turf, durable gym flooring, solid lighting, and netting where clearance allows, without the finish upgrades that drive luxury budgets. Because our quotes are itemized, you choose which upgrades earn their line and which wait for a later phase.
Usually, because the structure, stairs, and mechanicals already exist. Budget goes toward the training surfaces and equipment zones instead of basics. We assess what is reusable at the free consultation and show the keep-versus-rebuild math directly on the itemized quote.
