About the service
I build custom home wine cellars and bottle storage systems, transforming an unused niche, pantry, space under the stairs, or basement corner into a full-fledged place for storing and displaying your wine collection. Every project begins with a site visit or detailed photo and measurement exchange — I want to understand the available space, room conditions, and how the cellar will be used: quiet long-term storage, an active tasting corner, or a striking accent wall in the dining room.
The work includes a complete cycle: framing the niche, installing vapor barrier and rigid insulation suitable for a cooled space, and coordinating the placement of cooling units and air ducts with an electrician if a separate cooling system is in the project. On this structural shell, I install the actual shelves — traditional diamond-pattern cells, individual compartments for individual bottles, display rows for bottles with visible labels, and storage areas for boxes — made from wood resistant to moisture, such as mahogany, redwood, or treated pine, with mortise-and-tenon joints or dowel connections rather than edge-glued joints that loosen over time.
Shelf layout is designed for your actual collection: standard Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles of 750 ml, magnums and champagne bottles require different depth and cell spacing, and I plan the layout based on what you actually have, not a universal template. If needed, I build a sturdy tasting table or shelf, ensure insulation so humidity is comfortable for corks, and choose soft UV-free lighting that won't generate excess heat near bottles.
Finishing options range from natural oiled or waxed wood with visible texture to painted carpentry in the color of existing baseboards in your home or a rustic aged wood finish for a more casual atmosphere. I also work with glass entrance doors and frames if you want a viewing wall, including proper seals so the space maintains the required temperature and humidity.
I work with private clients, interior designers, and general contractors, and am ready to join an ongoing renovation or manage a wine cellar project separately — from design to installation. Each order includes material and finish agreement before work begins, photo reports during manufacturing, and final acceptance where bottle capacity, door operation, and finish quality are checked. Send me the room dimensions, desired bottle count, and style examples — I'll prepare a detailed proposal with drawings, material options, and exact timelines.
