Tinley Park, Illinois
Plenty of Tinley Park basements were finished decades ago and look it, with paneling, drop ceilings, and a bar nobody uses. A remodel is the natural moment to add real wine storage, because the walls are already open for insulation, cooling lines, and a vapor barrier that protects the collection.
ONIT Restoration remodels dated lower levels across the southwest suburbs and can fold a wine cellar into the larger project or build it as a standalone room. Consultations are free, quotes are itemized so you see what the wine room itself costs, and financing is available on larger jobs.
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.
That is the ideal time. With the old paneling and drop ceiling out, the walls are open for insulation, a vapor barrier, cooling lines, and a dedicated circuit, at a fraction of the disruption of retrofitting later. Many Tinley Park remodels carve the cellar out of an oversized storage or utility area.
Yes. Glass wine rooms are not limited to estate homes, they scale down well. A compact glass enclosure beside a rebuilt bar holds a few hundred bottles, stays properly cooled, and gives a remodeled basement a centerpiece. Your itemized quote shows exactly what the glass and cooling add over standard racking.
It can, with the right envelope. We locate the cellar away from heat sources when the floor plan allows, and when it does not, insulation, vapor sealing, and a properly sized cooling unit compensate. The free in-home consultation is where we map your mechanicals and pick the best corner for the room.
