The paneling, the drop ceiling, the carpet from another decade. Plenty of Tinley Park basements were finished once, back in the 80s or 90s, and they did their job. Remodeling one is often smarter than starting over, because the framing and mechanicals underneath may still be workable.
ONIT Restoration rebuilds dated lower levels and finishes bare ones across Tinley Park's huge housing stock, newer sections included. Permits are handled whenever electric or plumbing changes, quotes are itemized line by line, and typical projects run 6 to 12 weeks. A free in-home design consultation is the first step.
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.
It depends on what is behind the walls. If the framing is straight, the wiring is safe, and there is no moisture history, a remodel reuses that work and saves money. If we find problems, we tell you before you spend. The consultation includes a look at what is actually there, and the quote prices both honestly.
Cosmetic work like flooring and paint generally does not, but the moment electric or plumbing changes, permits apply. Most real remodels cross that line, since dated basements usually need updated circuits, lighting, or a bathroom. ONIT Restoration files the permits and schedules inspections as part of the job, so it is handled correctly.
Open family lounges instead of chopped-up paneled rooms, real bathrooms, better lighting, and often a gym or game area. The common thread is replacing a dark 80s or 90s finish with a level that feels connected to the rest of the house. We design around how your family will actually use the space.
