Orland Park, Illinois
Most Orland Park basements we see were finished decades ago: paneling, drop ceilings, fluorescent tubes, maybe a bar from 1992. That dated finish is actually an opportunity, because a remodel is the right moment to build a golf simulator properly instead of squeezing one into a finished room. Ceiling height is the gating question in this housing stock, and we verify it first. Tearing out a drop ceiling often recovers several inches, and we measure true clearance to the joists at your hitting position before promising anything about a full swing.
A simulator remodel here usually means gutting the old finish, correcting wiring and lighting to modern code, and rebuilding the space around the sim bay: impact screen and enclosure, turf hitting area, projector mounted overhead, zoned lighting that keeps the screen vivid, and a refreshed lounge where the old rec room used to be. Because electric and plumbing changes trigger permits in Orland Park, we handle the permit process ourselves as a licensed and insured contractor. Free in-home consultation, itemized quote, typical builds in 6 to 10 weeks. 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.
Often yes, but height decides it and we check that first. Removing an old drop ceiling frequently recovers 4 to 6 inches, which can be the difference between an irons-only bay and a full driver swing. We measure actual clearance to the joists at your hitting position during a free consultation and tell you exactly what your basement can support.
Usually the sim bay area gets opened up so we can address ceiling height, wiring, and screen mounting correctly, and most clients take the opportunity to replace dated paneling and lighting throughout. But the scope is your call. The itemized quote separates the simulator build from the broader remodel so you can decide how far to take it.
If the project touches electrical or plumbing, yes, and a proper simulator room almost always involves new circuits for the projector, launch monitor, and lighting. We handle the Orland Park permit process ourselves, build to code, and schedule the inspections. It protects you at resale and it is simply how a licensed and insured contractor should operate.
