Lemont, Illinois
Lemont basements come in two very different types. Up in the older homes near the historic downtown, we start with an honest evaluation of ceiling height and moisture before promising anything. In the newer construction on the ridges, deep dry foundations are ready for a gym almost as-is.
Either way the build itself is the same craft: rubber floors rated for dropped weights, mirror walls, reinforced framing for wall-mounted racks, and ventilation that keeps a below-grade room fresh in the middle of a workout. We are licensed and insured, and we handle the permits.
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.
Often yes, but we evaluate first. Older homes near the downtown hill can have lower ceilings or moisture that needs solving before finishes go in. We tell you honestly what the space supports, whether that is a full training room or a simpler setup, and quote only work that makes sense.
We test the slab and walls before anything is installed. If there is active moisture, we correct drainage or sealing first, then add a vapor barrier under the flooring where conditions call for it. Rubber tolerates humidity better than most finishes, but trapping water under any floor is never acceptable.
Most run 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope. A straightforward gym in a newer Lemont home on the ridges sits at the shorter end, while projects that include moisture correction, a bathroom, or a larger finished area take longer. Your itemized quote comes with a schedule attached.
