Vapor barrier
Installed on the warm side of the wall and ceiling, and continuous. Most cellar failures start here.
All rooms
Wine Cellar
Wine cellars that hold steady all year.
A basement corner that feels cool in March is not a cellar in August. We build a sealed, insulated room with dedicated cooling that holds temperature and humidity every day of the year, then finish it so it's the room you show guests first.
Engineered first
What we solve before the finishes.
Insulation
Walls and ceiling insulated to hold cellar temperature without the cooling unit running nonstop.
Cooling sized by load
Ducted, split or self-contained cooling chosen from a heat-load calculation for your room, not a guess.
Door and glass
An exterior-grade insulated door, and insulated glass if you want a display wall.
What's included
One contract covers the whole room.
- Framing, vapor barrier and insulation
- Cellar cooling system, sized and installed
- Custom racking in wood or metal
- Glass wall or glass door options
- LED lighting that won't heat the bottles
- Tile, stone or wood flooring
- Tasting table or counter
- Temperature and humidity monitoring
No two rooms are alike, so every job is priced to its space and scope. You get a fixed, itemized quote after design.

Common questions.
How many bottles do I need space for?
We plan for where your collection is going, not just where it is. We'll size the racking with you during design.
Can my basement work without cooling?
Rarely. Pennsylvania basements swing with the seasons. Dedicated cooling is what keeps the temperature steady.
How long does the build take?
It depends on scope and racking lead times. You get set start and finish dates with your quote.
