Mokena, Illinois
Most of Mokena went up between the 1990s and the 2010s, and it shows in the basements: deep, dry foundations, good ceiling height, and in many homes a bath rough-in the builder left under the slab. That is excellent raw material for a complete lower level.
Family lounges and home gyms lead the requests here, usually paired with a full bath built off the existing rough-in. ONIT Restoration carries the whole project, design, permits, framing, electric, plumbing, drywall, flooring, and lighting, as one licensed and insured crew. Consultations are free, quotes are itemized, and typical builds run 6 to 12 weeks.
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.
That is almost certainly a bath rough-in, and it is good news. The builder stubbed in drain and supply lines so a bathroom could be added without breaking up large sections of concrete. Building your full bath off that rough-in keeps plumbing costs down and makes the lower level feel like real living space.
Rubber or engineered athletic flooring over proper subfloor prep, outlets where the equipment actually sits, lighting that is bright without glare, and ventilation so the room stays usable. We plan the gym zone around your equipment list during design, and it pairs naturally with a family lounge on the same level.
Plan on 6 to 12 weeks of construction for a typical full finish, after design and permits are complete. The up-front phase usually takes a few weeks, and we handle the permit filings for you. You get an itemized quote before anything starts, so the scope and schedule are clear.
