Project description
The ideal contractor has prior experience building residential wine cellars and understands how to properly seal and insulate a room against outside heat and moisture, select and install a dedicated cooling unit sized for the space, and build or install racking that makes efficient use of the available wall space. We also want a reliable way to track conditions inside the room over time, so some kind of temperature and humidity monitoring with alerts would be valuable.
Please include examples of similar projects you have completed, your proposed approach to insulation and the vapor barrier, and a rough timeline for completion. We are flexible on racking material (wood or metal) and open to your recommendations on the best cooling system for our climate and room size.
Scope of work:
— Assess the room and recommend an insulation and vapor-barrier approach
— Supply and install a dedicated wine cooling and climate control unit
— Design and install bottle racking sized to the room
— Install temperature and humidity monitoring with remote alerts
— Ensure proper door seal and interior finish suitable for a cellar environment
