Lemont, Illinois
Lemont splits by elevation. The upscale new construction on the ridges sits on tall, dry foundations that are ready-made for batting cages, turf, and training floors. The older homes near the historic downtown, above the quarries and canal, need honest evaluation of height and moisture before any cage gets promised.
ONIT Restoration starts both with the same free in-home design consultation, measuring real clearance and checking conditions. Ridge homes typically get full hitting lanes and gyms. Older homes get training designs matched to what the structure supports. 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.
Usually yes. Recent construction on the ridges was poured deep, and ten feet or more, the ideal clearance for unrestricted full swings, is common. Nine feet remains the working minimum for tee and soft-toss training. We confirm the exact swing zone under beams and ducts in person.
Height, moisture, and structure, in that order. Homes near the historic downtown vary widely, and turf over a damp slab or a cage under a seven foot ceiling helps no one. The honest measurement comes first, then a training design that actually fits, quoted line by line.
Yes. Strength equipment, rowing, sleds, agility ladders, mirrors, and footwork turf all work under eight feet. Overhead swings are the only casualty of low clearance. Plenty of Lemont families get daily use from a training floor that never hosts a single full swing.
