The first number we give a Westmont homeowner is the ceiling measurement, because it decides everything else. Midcentury ranches here often sit below nine feet, which rules out full swings but leaves plenty of real training on the table. Newer infill homes near the Oakbrook corridor usually measure taller and open up cage and lane options.
Remodels dominate our Westmont work, dated lower levels rebuilt around turf, strength areas, and agility space. ONIT Restoration quotes every project line by line after a free in-home design consultation. Permits handled, licensed and insured, typical builds 6 to 12 weeks.
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.
More than most owners expect. Strength training, rowing, sleds, agility ladders, mirrors, and footwork turf all function below eight feet. Overhead swings need nine feet minimum and ideally ten or more, so in lower Westmont ranches we design around ground-based training and say so honestly up front.
Frequently yes. Newer construction near the Oakbrook corridor tends to carry taller basements, and where we verify nine feet of true clearance, tee and soft-toss lanes work, with ten or more ideal for full swings. The site measurement, not the listing sheet, makes the call.
Sometimes, depending on what the existing space gives us. Sound framing and serviceable electric reduce cost, while dated work that fails code adds demo. Our itemized quote separates keep from rebuild so the comparison is transparent, and financing is available on larger projects.
