Willow Springs, Illinois
ONIT Restoration builds custom basement bars all over the southwest suburbs, but Willow Springs is home. Our operation is based right here in town, which means a neighbor asking about a wet bar gets the fastest site visit on our schedule, often within the same week. The housing mix here is wide, from older ranches near the Des Plaines River to newer custom homes tucked into the wooded hills, and each one calls for a different approach to plumbing runs, drainage, and layout.
A bar build here starts with a free in-home design consultation, where we measure, talk through wet bar versus full bar, and map out refrigeration, stone counters, and backlit shelving. You get an itemized quote, we pull the permits, and most projects wrap in six to twelve weeks depending on cabinetry lead times. We are licensed and insured, with financing available on larger projects. For the older homes closer to the river, we check moisture and grade first so the millwork you invest in stays protected.
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.
Faster than anywhere else we work. ONIT Restoration is based in Willow Springs, so local site visits slot into our schedule first, often within the same week you call. The visit doubles as your free design consultation: we measure the space, talk through wet bar versus dry bar, and follow up with an itemized quote.
Usually, but we verify before we design. Homes closer to the Des Plaines River get a moisture and drainage check first, and we confirm where a wet line and drain can realistically run. If a full wet bar is not practical, a compact bar with under-counter refrigeration and a small sink almost always is.
It depends on plumbing distance, counter material, refrigeration, and cabinetry more than square footage, so we do not quote from a price sheet. After the free consultation you get an itemized quote showing every line, and financing is available when the bar is part of a larger lower-level project. Builds typically run six to twelve weeks.
