Romeoville, Illinois
Getting a real recovery setup without a luxury-tier budget is the assignment in most Romeoville homes, and it is very doable. The newer starter and move-up houses here have solid, dry basements, and a smart phased plan puts the infrastructure in now so the sauna and cold plunge can follow when the budget says go.
ONIT builds value-focused wellness suites the same way we build premium ones: dedicated circuits, proper drainage, vapor-sealed wet zones, and engineered ventilation for below-grade air. Free in-home design consultations, itemized quotes so you see every dollar, permits handled, and financing available on larger projects.
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.
Phase it, and rough in early. During the main basement finish we run the plunge circuit, sauna wiring, drain lines, and ventilation duct to a framed-and-ready wellness room. That rough-in work is cheap while walls are open and expensive after. When you are ready, the sauna and plunge install into a space already built for them.
Yes. A traditional sauna alone adds less humidity than a steam shower, but it still lives below grade where air movement is poor, and most Romeoville plans eventually add a plunge or steam later. We install ventilation and vapor detailing sized for the full suite from the start, so the second phase does not require redoing the first.
The most common Romeoville build is a two-person cedar sauna, a cold plunge on its own dedicated circuit with a drainage path, and ventilation engineered for the room, placed next to a gym area. Steam showers and heated floors are popular additions when budget allows. Your itemized quote prices each element separately so you can choose.
