A warm, dry finished basement in Rolling Meadows, insulated the way concrete walls need so the room stays comfortable all winter.
We open every basement job by checking for moisture and taking care of any sump or drainage work before covering a thing. The walls then go up on treated bottom plates, with room left for the furnace, water heater and panel. Insulation, electrical and plumbing rough-in for a bath or wet bar follow, plus an egress window when a bedroom is planned, and we finish with drywall, ceilings, flooring, doors, trim and paint. When you want the entire basement designed and built, ONIT Restoration handles it, the same company under a brand whose crew does basements all day; ONIT Solutions does finished-basement repairs, partial finishes, and single trades like framing or drywall.
Rolling Meadows is on our regular route up Route 53, with Golf Road, Kirchoff Road and Algonquin Road taking us across this part of Cook County. Basement insulation is where a lot of finished basements go wrong. Fiberglass pressed against cold concrete behind plastic can trap moisture and stay damp, so we put rigid foam board against the foundation and seal the seams, then frame inside it. The room holds heat better, and the wall behind the drywall stays dry.
Walls, slab and sump are checked first, and seepage or drainage trouble is repaired before insulation goes on.
Rigid foam board goes directly on the concrete with sealed seams, keeping warm air off the cold wall.
The band joist at the top of the foundation gets insulated and air sealed, since drafts often start there.
Pressure-treated plates sit on the slab, and framing keeps the mechanicals open for service.
Electrical for lights and outlets, plumbing for a bath or bar if planned, and an egress window for a bedroom.
Drywall, ceilings, flooring, doors, trim and paint, so the basement feels like the rest of the house.
We come out, check the walls and the sump, and put a free estimate in writing that names the insulation we plan to use. When you approve it, the permit goes in and we schedule each phase with the inspections in between. Anything we find once the walls are open gets shown to you, priced in writing and held until you approve it. The job wraps up with a walkthrough of every finished room.
