Oak Brook estates were built for entertaining, yet the lower levels in many of them were never finished to the standard of the rest of the house. Basement specialists are thin on the ground in this market, and general remodelers tend to treat the space as a footnote. ONIT Restoration treats it as the main event. Wine storage, a cigar lounge with proper ventilation, a full bar finished in stone and millwork, these are the rooms Oak Brook actually asks for, and they are exactly what we design and build.
We are comfortable working alongside your interior designer or architect, and many Oak Brook projects run exactly that way, with ONIT executing the build while the design team directs finishes. When you prefer a single point of contact, our own designers carry the project from the free in-home consultation to the final fixture. Every quote is itemized, permits are handled, the firm is licensed and insured, and typical construction runs six to ten weeks. Financing is available on larger projects. Call (815) 217-9050 to begin.
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.
Regularly and happily. Some clients bring a designer or architect, and we execute the build to their specifications while managing permits, trades, and schedule. Others prefer our in-house design team from start to finish. Either structure works, and we establish roles clearly during the initial consultation so nothing falls between the two teams.
Yes, and ventilation is the make-or-break detail. A real cigar lounge needs dedicated exhaust and makeup air designed so smoke never migrates to the rest of the house. We engineer that system during design, not after drywall. Combined with a bar and wine storage, it is one of Oak Brook's most requested lower levels.
Through a fully itemized quote produced after the free in-home design consultation. Every room, fixture, and finish is priced separately so you can adjust scope with clear information. Financing is available on larger projects, permits are handled for you, and construction typically runs six to ten weeks depending on scope.
