Distinctive Remodelers Creates New, Double-Sized Basement for Mokena Homeowner
Mari-beth and her husband didn’t want to move. So they focused their attention on expanding and improving the home they loved. They chose Distinctive Remodelers to reinvent their kitchen, build a family room addition and completely rework their backyard space.
Mokena, IL, November 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- What was previously a perfectly utilitarian but otherwise ordinary 1,500-square-foot basement has been transformed into a 3,000-square-foot space suitable for entertaining, gaming, movie watching and more—compliments of Orland Park-based Distinctive Remodelers.
Enamored of their community, schools and neighbors, Mari-beth and her husband didn’t want to move. So they focused their attention on expanding and improving the home they loved. They chose Distinctive Remodelers to reinvent their kitchen, build a family room addition and completely rework their backyard space. But it was the untapped potential in their basement that particularly intrigued Mari-beth and her family.
“We host a lot of parties here, sometimes attended by up to 100 people, so we needed to adapt our lower level to our current lifestyle and make it more conducive to entertaining, relaxing and having fun,” she said.
Distinctive Remodelers essentially doubled the size of the lower level by building out a 12-foot-high extra space underneath the family room addition that opened up to the existing eight-foot-high basement, which was gutted. Distinctive’s crew fashioned a dedicated home theater space served by a digital projector and 130-inch screen, a wide leather sectional sofa, and high-top tables and stools for extra seating. In the corner is an elegant wet bar equipped with cherry cabinetry, a custom marble bar top, sink, microwave, dual dishwashers, refrigerator, wine cooler, icemaker and bar stools.
Right next door is a game room housing a pool table and Wii game system. An elegant spiral staircase was also chosen to lead from the new family room to the lower level. Bright can lights were peppered across the ceiling, along with a few strategically positioned pendant lights.
Continuing the sports bar theme in the bathroom, the crew installed a flatscreen TV on the wall, removed the shower and fashioned a separate dry sauna in its place.
In addition to the bar itself, Distinctive Remodelers implemented three eye-catching focal points. First, in the gaming area within the older basement space, Distinctive’s team built what the Mari-beth’s children call “the shrine.” It’s a bump-out in the wall that displays all of their trophies and sports memorabilia on special shelving and lighting faced with glass. Secondly, behind the bar, a high definition TV screen was hung, framed carefully by cabinetry so that it looks like a giant aquarium stocked with live fish when a special Blu-Ray disc is played. Third, an impressive custom built round recessed ceiling dome with warm, deep orange lighting was created.
Additionally, Mari-beth gained more storage space when Distinctive Remodelers crafted a long, narrow closet behind the big screen TV wall: the perfect spot to store boxes, Christmas trees and miscellaneous.
“Our new and improved basement is like an extra home within a home,” said Mari-beth.
“When you enlist our services, you can rely on experienced, courteous professionals. Everyone on our crew has been carefully screened, and they will treat you and your property with the utmost respect,” said Bryan Nooner, President of Distinctive Remodelers. “And you can count on punctual responses to your questions and requests.”
