Lemont, Illinois
From the historic homes on the hill above downtown to the upscale new construction along the ridges, Lemont basements span a century of building methods. The older stock needs honest evaluation of height and moisture before a concealed room is promised. The newer ridge homes are ready-made for one.
In both cases the craft is the same: a bookshelf or paneled door on commercial pivot hardware, with a cigar, wine, or whiskey lounge behind it, finished fully to code. We are based nearby in Willow Springs, consultations are free, and quotes are itemized.
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.
It depends on what the basement gives us, and we find out before anyone commits. Homes on the hill vary widely in ceiling height, moisture, and foundation condition. Some support a full concealed lounge after preparation, others suit a more modest hidden space. The evaluation happens at the free consultation and the answer is honest.
Those deep, dry foundations take the full treatment: a millwork wall on pivot hardware opening to a whiskey or wine room, often beside a bar or theater. New construction basements are the easiest builds we do in Lemont because nothing has to be corrected first. Design starts from a clean sheet.
Very. Our base in Willow Springs is a short drive away, which means fast site visits, quick follow-ups during design, and a crew that is never far if something needs attention mid-project. Lemont is effectively next door for us, and the schedule reflects that.
Tell us about your basement and we will follow up within one business day to set up an in-home visit.
