Lockport, Illinois
Whether a Lockport basement can hold a golf simulator depends almost entirely on which Lockport you live in. In the historic canal-side homes, ceiling height is the gating question and we treat it that way: before any design talk, we verify swing clearance against your actual joists, beams, and ductwork, and we check moisture conditions while we are down there, because an impact screen and turf do not belong in a damp basement. Some older homes simply cannot take a full swing, and we will say so plainly rather than sell you a room you cannot use.
West of Farrell Road the picture changes. Newer subdivisions there have standard modern foundations with the depth and dryness a simulator wants, and those projects move quickly from consultation to construction. In both halves of town the build is the same quality: enclosure and commercial impact screen, turf hitting area, optional putting green, mounted projector, and lighting designed to keep the screen crisp with lounge seating behind it. ONIT Restoration is licensed and insured, handles permits, quotes itemized, and typically finishes in 6 to 10 weeks. Start with a free in-home consultation at (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.
Sometimes, and we find out before you spend anything. Canal-side era homes often have 7 foot ceilings or lower under the joists, which rules out a full driver swing, though a putting and chipping setup or an irons-only bay can still work. We measure real clearance at the hitting position during a free consultation and give you an honest yes, no, or modified plan.
Always, and in historic Lockport basements it is step one. Turf, screens, projectors, and finished walls all suffer in damp conditions, so we evaluate water history, drainage, and humidity during the site visit and address any issues in the plan before finishes go in. In the newer subdivisions west of Farrell Road this is rarely a problem, but we still check.
The complete room: framed simulator bay with impact screen and enclosure, turf hitting strip, projector mounted and calibrated to the screen, lighting zoned so the picture stays bright, plus finished walls, flooring, and seating around the bay. Many clients add a putting green or bar area. You get an itemized quote, we pull the permits, and typical builds take 6 to 10 weeks.
