A basement in one of Lemont's older homes near the downtown hill is a different project than one in a new build up on the ridges, and we treat them differently. Older foundations get an honest evaluation of ceiling height, moisture, and egress before we design a thing. Newer construction is usually ready to build the day we walk in.
Either way, ONIT Restoration carries the entire job: design, permits, framing, electric, plumbing, drywall, flooring, and lighting. We are licensed and insured, quotes are itemized, and most finishes take 6 to 12 weeks. The free in-home consultation tells you which kind of project you have.
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.
Sometimes yes, sometimes only partly, and we will give you a straight answer either way. Older homes near the hill can have height, moisture, or egress limitations that shape what is buildable. We evaluate all three at the consultation and design to what the foundation supports, rather than forcing a plan that will cause problems later.
Newer Lemont construction usually gives us a dry, deep foundation that is ready to go. From there the project is design, permits, framing, electric, plumbing, drywall, flooring, and lighting, all handled by one licensed and insured crew. Most of these builds run 6 to 12 weeks, with an itemized quote before work begins.
Yes. Adding walls, circuits, or plumbing requires permits and inspections, and finishing without them creates real problems when you sell. ONIT Restoration handles the drawings, the filings, and the inspection schedule as part of every project, so the paperwork side never lands on you. It is built into the itemized quote.
