Big family homes deserve a room the whole family fights over. South of Route 30, New Lenox has filled in with exactly those houses, and their basements are the natural spot for a theater: tiered seating for movie nights, surround pre-wire for gaming, dimmable and step lighting so nobody trips over anybody in the dark. Many of our New Lenox clients pair the theater with a gym or playroom in the same lower level so the space earns its keep every day, not just on weekends.
New Lenox is growing fast, but no hometown basement specialist has planted a flag here, and homeowners feel it when they try to get a straight quote. ONIT Restoration fills that gap with free in-home design consultations, itemized pricing, and permits handled start to finish. Phased builds are common in town, so we can rough in the theater now and finish it next year without redoing work. We are licensed and insured, typical projects run 6 to 12 weeks, and financing is available on larger jobs. 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 12 weeks of construction.
Yes, and many families here do. Phase one typically covers framing, surround pre-wire, electrical, and drywall so the room is functional. Phase two adds the tiered seating platform, acoustic panels, and finish lighting when the budget is ready. Planning both phases up front means nothing gets torn out later, and your itemized quote shows the cost of each phase separately.
Absolutely, and it is one of our most requested New Lenox layouts. We separate the two with insulated walls and place the equipment closet between them so the theater stays quiet while someone lifts next door. Rubber gym flooring and theater carpet are planned together so transitions look intentional.
That is exactly the point. General remodelers treat theaters as an afterthought. We build basements, including dedicated theaters with tiered platforms, projection walls, and proper pre-wire, all day. You get a free in-home design consultation, an itemized quote, permits handled, and a licensed and insured crew. Call (815) 217-9050 and compare the difference yourself.
