Woodridge, Illinois
Woodridge homeowners near the Seven Bridges area tend to build basements for hosting, and the cigar lounge has become the room the hosts keep for themselves. Friends gather at the bar or the game table, and the lounge sits behind a sealed door with its own air system, ready when the night winds down.
The town's 70s through 2000s housing mix means some projects start from an unfinished slab and others remodel an older finished level. Either way, we start with a free in-home consultation, handle permits, and quote everything line by line.
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.
The lounge is constructed as a sealed room under negative pressure. A dedicated exhaust fan ducts the air straight outside while a makeup air inlet feeds the room, so airflow always moves inward at the gasketed door. No shared ductwork, no shared returns, no odor in the bar area or upstairs the next morning.
Yes. Remodels of older Woodridge lower levels are a large share of our work. We section off the lounge area, rebuild those walls and the ceiling to sealed standards, route the exhaust to an exterior wall, and match the new finishes to the space around it. The free consultation tells us what the existing structure allows.
Scope drives it: room size, humidor type, millwork level, and whether we are also touching the surrounding basement. Rather than a vague range, we give you an itemized quote after the in-home consultation so every dollar is visible. Financing is available on larger projects, and typical builds run 6 to 12 weeks.
Tell us about your basement and we will follow up within one business day to set up an in-home visit.
