Basement Finishing in Shorewood

Shorewood basement finishing, walkouts included

We open every basement job with a moisture check on the walls and floor, and any drainage or sump work gets done before anything is covered. Framing follows, with treated bottom plates on the slab and the clearances the furnace, water heater and panel need. After insulation, electrical and any plumbing rough-in for a bath or wet bar, we hang drywall and finish the ceilings, flooring, doors, trim and paint. ONIT Restoration, our own brand with a crew that does basements all day, runs full design-and-build basements, and ONIT Solutions handles partial finishes, single trades and repairs to a finished basement.

Shorewood is on our regular route off I-55, Route 59 and Route 52, with Black Road across town and the DuPage River running through. If your lot slopes toward the back and the basement walks out, that open wall gets framed and insulated like an upstairs wall, while the buried walls get the moisture treatment. The patio door and windows on the walkout side need flashing and trim that hold up to weather. We also look at where the yard drains, because a walkout sits right where the water ends up.

What a Shorewood basement finish covers

How a Shorewood basement job runs

We walk the basement and the yard outside it, check for moisture and measure the rooms you want. You get a written estimate that splits the walkout wall, the buried walls and the finish work into their own lines. If opening up a wall shows a problem, we price the repair in writing and wait for your approval. The village inspections set the order, and we book our crew around them. When the work is done, we walk the space with you, open every door and test every outlet.
