Oak Brook, Illinois
Oak Brook estates were built for entertaining, but many of their lower levels still reflect the tastes of the decade they were finished in. Behind the paneled walls and aging bars sits serious square footage that deserves current design, and remarkably few contractors in this market treat basements as a specialty. We do. Our remodels take dated luxury spaces down to what is worth keeping and rebuild them with drywall ceilings, sophisticated lighting, new flooring, and the wine storage, cigar lounges, and statement bars Oak Brook homeowners actually ask for.
Working with designers is part of our normal process here, not an accommodation. Whether your interior designer leads the vision or you want our design team to develop it, the project starts with a free in-home consultation and proceeds from an itemized quote, so every material and allowance is visible. We handle permits, carry full licensing and insurance, and complete most remodels in 6 to 10 weeks. Financing is available on larger projects, though the more common question here is simply how soon we can start. 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.
Gladly. When a designer leads, we serve as the build partner, pricing their specifications honestly, flagging constructability issues early, and executing to their drawings. When there is no designer involved, our own design process fills that role. Either way, the itemized quote keeps every selection and allowance visible to everyone at the table.
Yes, both are frequent requests in Oak Brook remodels. Wine rooms need insulation, vapor control, and often dedicated cooling, and cigar lounges live or die on ventilation, so each is engineered rather than just decorated. Converting part of an already finished lower level keeps the project faster than new construction.
Most high-end contractors here focus on kitchens, additions, and whole-home work, and treat basements as a sideline. Lower levels have their own disciplines, moisture behavior, ceiling strategy, lighting without abundant daylight, and specialty rooms like wine and cigar spaces. Specializing in exactly that work is why homeowners and designers bring us in.
