Shorewood, Illinois
Shorewood homeowners tend to build basements for hosting, and a golf simulator has become the centerpiece people actually gather around. The newer construction along the Route 59 corridor gives us dry, deep basements that take a simulator bay well, and the commuter families who live here want a reason to stay home on a Saturday instead of driving to an indoor golf lounge and paying by the hour. A well-built sim room does exactly that, in January just as well as June.
Our approach in Shorewood starts with a free in-home consultation where we verify swing clearance against your actual ceiling structure, then lay out the room around how you entertain: impact screen and enclosure on the long wall, turf hitting area, a putting green for guests who do not swing, projector mounted out of the way, lighting zoned so the screen stays vivid while the lounge seating behind it stays comfortable. ONIT Restoration is licensed and insured, handles permits, quotes everything itemized, and typically builds in 6 to 10 weeks. Call (815) 217-9050 to get on the schedule.
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.
Most newer Shorewood homes along the Route 59 corridor have the deep basements that make a full-swing room realistic, but we never assume. During the free consultation we measure clear height at the exact hitting position, accounting for joists, ducts, and any soffits. If a driver swing is tight, we show you layout options or club limitations honestly before you commit.
That is how most Shorewood clients use theirs. We position lounge seating with a clear view of the screen, add a putting green so non-golfers can join in, and zone the lighting so the hitting bay stays dark enough for a crisp picture while the social side of the room stays lit. Simulator software with party games helps the room earn its keep.
Nothing goes to waste. We design Shorewood sim rooms as multi-purpose spaces, so the same projector and screen run movies and sports, the turf area doubles as open floor space, and the seating works as a normal lounge. Year-round usefulness is a design requirement from day one, not an afterthought, and it protects the value of the investment.
