Basement Design + Build
Families are the whole story in Mokena. Sitting between Frankfort and Tinley Park, the town filled in through the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s with subdivision homes built for raising kids, and most of them came with a bonus that too many owners still have not cashed in: a deep, dry basement, often with a bathroom rough-in the builder left waiting. That unfinished floor is usually the cheapest square footage a Mokena family will ever add, because the foundation, the slab, and half the plumbing are already paid for.
The projects we build here reflect how these households actually live. Family lounges lead the way, big open rooms where kids and their friends can spread out while the main floor stays sane. Home gyms are the other constant, since a garage workout in January loses its appeal fast. Game rooms, homework corners, and guest space round out the typical plan, and that builder rough-in means a full bathroom is usually a practical add rather than a budget-breaker.
ONIT Restoration starts every Mokena project with a free in-home design consultation, followed by an itemized quote that breaks the work down line by line. We handle permits, our crews are licensed and insured, and typical builds run 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope. Financing is available on larger projects, which lets plenty of families build the full plan at once instead of finishing the basement in pieces over several years. We are based nearby in Willow Springs.
Every project begins with a free in-home design consultation. We measure your basement, check moisture and mechanicals, listen to how you want to use the space, and come back with a design and an itemized quote. No pressure, no expiring discounts, just a real plan with real numbers.
A meaningful amount. The rough-in means the drain lines and vent stubs are already under your slab, so we avoid the concrete cutting and underground plumbing that make basement bathrooms expensive. Your itemized quote will show the bathroom priced as its own line, so you can see exactly what the rough-in is saving you.
The common pattern is a large family lounge as the anchor, then a home gym, a game area, and a full bathroom using the builder rough-in. Some add a guest bedroom with a proper egress window. We design the whole floor together during your free consultation so each space gets sensible proportions and lighting.
Yes, and we plan for it properly. We design the complete lower level up front, then build phase one with framing, electrical, and plumbing routed so later phases connect cleanly without redoing finished work. Financing on larger projects is the other route, and many families compare both options after seeing the itemized quote.
