Joliet, Illinois
Plenty of Joliet basements were finished decades ago, and it shows. In the Cathedral Area and Ridgewood, we walk into lower levels with wood paneling, drop ceilings, and carpet that has outlived three furnaces. On the west side near the Plainfield border, homes around Wesmere carry early-2000s finishes that now read as builder-grade time capsules. ONIT Restoration remodels these spaces instead of patching them, stripping out the dated shell and rebuilding with drywall ceilings, modern lighting, and flooring chosen for how your family actually uses the room.
Joliet is our home turf, so a site visit usually happens within days, not weeks. We begin with a free in-home design consultation, put every line of the project into an itemized quote, and handle permits with the city, which matters whenever a remodel touches electrical or plumbing. Older homes get an honest evaluation up front, because low ceilings and stone foundations shape what a remodel can realistically become. Most projects run 6 to 10 weeks, we are licensed and insured, and financing is available on larger jobs. 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.
Often, yes. Removing a drop ceiling and replacing it with drywall typically recovers several inches of height, which changes how the whole room feels. In Cathedral Area and Ridgewood homes we evaluate the structure honestly first, because ductwork, beams, and stone foundations set real limits. You get a clear answer before any money changes hands.
If the remodel changes electrical or plumbing, which most real remodels do, Joliet requires permits. We handle the applications and inspections as part of the project, so nothing lands on your plate. Cosmetic-only updates like flooring and paint generally do not need one, and we will tell you which category your project falls in.
Faster than almost anyone, because we are based here. Most Joliet homeowners get a site visit within a few days of calling. The visit doubles as a free in-home design consultation, and you leave it with a realistic sense of scope, timeline, and budget before we ever write the itemized quote.
