Home repairs & remodeling in Elmhurst

New floors laid level, remodels planned around how the house was built, and repairs done right, all over Elmhurst.

Elmhurst remodeling, flooring and home repair

Elmhurst is a town our crew works in every week. I-290 and I-294 bring us to town, and York Road, North Avenue and St. Charles Road get us to every neighborhood. ONIT Solutions is a home repair and remodeling contractor with one crew for carpentry, drywall, flooring, finishes and the plumbing and electrical a job touches. One person owns your project from start to finish.

Elmhurst projects range from new flooring across a main level to kitchens, bathrooms, basements and repair lists. We start by looking at the house in person and sending a written estimate at no cost. After you approve it, we put the work days in writing. If anything changes, it is priced and approved by you before we do it.

Downtown Elmhurst, the university and the blocks around them

Elmhurst is a DuPage County city with a lively downtown around its Metra station, Elmhurst University near the center, and I-290 and I-294 close by. York Road, North Avenue and St. Charles Road carry most of the traffic across town. The neighborhoods are tree-lined and full of single-family homes, and on many blocks an original house stands next to a new one.

In an original house, a remodel usually means working with what is there: plaster, real wood trim and floors that are not quite level. In a newer house, the job is more often a basement to finish or a kitchen that needs better storage. We look at the house first and plan the work around how it was built.

Flooring done right in Elmhurst homes

New flooring is only as level as what is under it. We check the subfloor for dips and loose spots and fix them before plank or tile goes down, and on a basement slab we run a moisture test first. Luxury vinyl plank, laminate, engineered hardwood and tile are all options.

Base, shoe and transitions are included, so the job looks finished at every doorway. Furniture gets moved, and floors next to the work get covered. When the old floors run at different heights between rooms, we plan the transitions in writing before we start, so you know how each doorway will look.

FAQ

Questions from Elmhurst homeowners

Do you work in towns around Elmhurst?
Yes. Villa Park, Oak Brook, Addison and Lombard are all in our area, and we cover plenty of towns past those as well.
Will the City of Elmhurst require a permit for my remodel?
Work that changes structure, plumbing or electrical usually needs a city permit, and so do decks and basement finishes. Flooring on its own usually does not. We check your scope against what Elmhurst requires and pull the permit when one is needed.
How do I get an estimate?
The fastest way is a call or text to (815) 585-1750. We come out, measure and send a written estimate with the scope and price, at no charge.
How long does it take to put new flooring through a main level?
It depends on the square footage, the material and how much subfloor work the house needs. We give you the number of days in writing with the estimate and book around them.
Can you lay new flooring over the old floor in my Elmhurst house?
Sometimes. If the old floor is solid, level and thin enough that doors and transitions still work, plank can go over it. If it is loose, uneven or stacked too high, we take it up and fix the subfloor first. We tell you which way we recommend in the estimate.
