Basement Finishing in Montgomery

Montgomery basements with a wet bar or bath in the plan

A wet bar looks like cabinets and a sink, but the drain is what decides where it can go. If the drain can fall to the main line by gravity, the bar can sit along that run, and if it cannot, it needs a pump. We work that out on the first visit, along with a moisture check on the walls and floor and any drainage or sump work that has to come first. After that it is framing on treated bottom plates, insulation, electrical, the plumbing rough-in, drywall, ceilings, flooring, trim and paint.

We cover Montgomery from Route 30 and Route 31, and Orchard Road gets us to the west side. The village crosses into both Kane and Kendall counties and sits along the Fox River. Wherever the house sits, a basement plumbing job starts with finding the main drain, its depth and where it leaves the house, and that sets the layout for a bar or bath. Full design-and-build basements go to ONIT Restoration, the same company with a crew on basements all day, and partial finishes, single trades and repairs to a finished basement stay with ONIT Solutions.

What a Montgomery basement finish includes

How a Montgomery basement job runs

We find the main drain, check for moisture and talk through where the bar or bath should go, all on a free visit. The written estimate breaks out the plumbing, the framing and the finishes so you can see what the bar adds. If we open the floor or a wall and find something nobody expected, the price comes to you in writing first. We book the plumbing and framing inspections and work the days we said around them. On the last day we run the sink, check every drain and walk the room with you.
