New Lenox, Illinois
Family basements in New Lenox get hard use. The playroom that was finished when the kids were small becomes a storage zone by middle school, and by high school everyone wants a real hangout, a home gym, or both. In the big family homes south of Route 30, we remodel those aging finished basements into rooms that match the current stage of family life, replacing drop ceilings with drywall, upgrading floors and lighting, and reworking layouts that were designed around toys instead of people.
There is no hometown basement specialist established in New Lenox, which is exactly why we treat it like home. Phased remodels are common here, so we will happily rebuild the main room this year and rough in for a bathroom or gym addition later, with an itemized quote that separates each phase. Permits are handled by us, every project is licensed and insured, and typical builds run 6 to 10 weeks per phase. Financing is available on larger projects, and the free in-home design consultation costs you nothing but an hour. Call (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.
Yes, and many families here do. A common sequence is rebuilding the main living space first, then adding the bathroom or gym in a later phase once budget allows. We design the full plan up front so phase one includes the right rough-ins, and the itemized quote breaks out each phase so you always know the numbers.
Usually a remodel. If the framing, insulation, and mechanicals are sound, we keep them and replace what you actually see, meaning ceilings, flooring, lighting, trim, and outdated built-ins. That is the case in most New Lenox homes south of Route 30. We confirm which parts are worth keeping during the free in-home design consultation.
Absolutely. Gyms are one of the top requests in New Lenox family homes. We spec rubber or performance flooring, add dedicated outlets, improve ventilation, and often mirror a wall, all while the rest of the basement stays a lounge or media space. Because the space is already finished, conversion is faster than building new.
