Orland Park, Illinois
That paneled 90s basement with the drop ceiling is hiding good bones for a wine cellar. Orland Park's huge stock of 80s and 90s homes means we spend a lot of time pulling out dated finishes, and carving out a conditioned wine room is one of the best upgrades to make while the space is already open. The old paneling comes down, proper insulation and a vapor barrier go in, and a corner that once held a dusty bar becomes a glass-front cellar with LED-lit racking and finishes that belong in this decade.
Remodel work in Orland Park comes with a permit reality, any project that touches electrical or plumbing needs village sign-off, and a cooled wine cellar always adds a dedicated circuit. ONIT Restoration handles those permits as standard practice, so inspections are built into the schedule rather than bolted on at the end. Start with a free in-home design consultation, get an itemized quote that separates the cellar from any surrounding remodel work, and expect a typical build of 6 to 10 weeks. We are licensed and insured, with financing available on larger projects. 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 conversions are most of what we do here. We remove the old paneling and drop ceiling in the cellar area, correct any insulation gaps behind them, install a vapor barrier, and build the conditioned room within the existing footprint. The rest of the basement can be refreshed at the same time or left for a later phase.
Yes. A conditioned cellar adds a dedicated electrical circuit for the cooling unit and lighting, and Orland Park requires permits when electric or plumbing changes are made. We prepare the application, coordinate the inspections, and fold that timeline into the build schedule, so the paperwork never becomes your problem to manage.
Generally yes. These poured foundations are sound, and most have reasonable ceiling height once the drop ceiling is removed. The usual work is upgrading insulation and adding the vapor control that construction standards of that era skipped. We verify moisture conditions during the free consultation before recommending a cooled room over a display wall.
