Two very different basements sit under Downers Grove. The teardown and rebuild boom has produced deep, unfinished lower levels with generous height, blank canvases for batting cages and turf floors. The mid-century ranches that remain often measure well under nine feet, and we say so plainly rather than sell a cage that cannot fit.
ONIT Restoration designs to the measurement. Tall new foundations get full hitting lanes, agility turf, and adjoining gyms. Lower ranch basements get smart training layouts built around strength work and footwork instead of overhead swings. Free in-home design consultations, itemized quotes, permits handled, licensed and insured.
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.
Full swings want ten feet or more, tee and soft-toss work functions at nine, and strength training, rowing, sleds, and agility drills fit under eight. That range is why the honest measurement matters, it determines which training menu your Downers Grove basement can serve.
With the free in-home design consultation. New Downers Grove foundations are the best starting point we see, tall, dry, and open. We map mechanicals, verify the swing zone, and design the cage, turf, gym, and any finished living space as one plan with an itemized quote.
Frequently yes, with the right design. A ranch basement below nine feet still takes turf, mirrors, a strength area, and agility space that a family uses daily. We will tell you honestly if a batting cage does not fit, then design the best training floor that does.
