What we build here
What a cellar in Lafayette could look like
Put the cellar on the same plan as the rest of the remodel. The door, wall construction, cooling location and service access all touch work well beyond the racking.
Share the current drawings
Include room dimensions, elevations and any planned glass, and tell Mike which decisions are still open so the equipment advice lands while it is still useful.
Coordinate the services
Mike reviews the chosen cooling unit's electrical, condensate and installation requirements with the contractors he brings in before the room is finished. If the larger remodel already has a general contractor, he coordinates those requirements with them.
Review the materials together
Compare wood and metal racking next to the surrounding cabinetry. Bring finish samples if you want the wine storage to sit comfortably with the rest of the house.
What we do here
Four jobs, one showroom
We plan and supply the cellar. Mike sizes the storage and cooling, orders the equipment, and schedules the contractors he brings in for the build and installation.
Design and capacity
Rack elevations and a bottle count by format, so you know what the room holds before anything is ordered.
Racking
VintageView metal, Modularack pine, redwood and mahogany kits, and custom millwork when the room refuses to be rectangular.
Cooling
WhisperKOOL, Wine Guardian, CellarPro and CellarCool, sized against the room's heat load rather than its square footage.
Install coordination
Delivery, the install date and the contractors Mike brings in, coordinated from the showroom so the room is ready when the equipment is.

Straight answers
Asked in Lafayette
- When should I involve Wine Hardware in a Lafayette remodel?
- While the room layout and services can still move. Send Mike the plan so he can settle the racking, cooling and what his crew needs before any equipment is ordered. If the larger remodel already has a general contractor, he coordinates those details with them.
- Our architect wants a spec now. What can you give them?
- Rack elevations, a bottle count by format, and the cooling unit's electrical, venting and condensate requirements. Send Mike the drawings and say which decisions are still open, so the notes land while they are still useful.
- How long does a cellar in Lafayette take?
- It depends on design decisions, product availability and the schedule of the contractors Mike brings in. Tell Mike your plans and target date and he will walk through the next steps and current lead times.
- Do you come out to Lafayette to measure?
- Send whatever dimensions and photos you have to (925) 944-1084. Between you Mike will work out whether a site visit would help, who handles it and which drawings the project needs.
- What will it cost?
- It depends on room prep, racking, cooling and finishes. Send dimensions and a bottle count and Mike will talk through the scope and what he needs to put a project quote together.
- What if I already have a Lafayette general contractor or architect?
- Mike works alongside them when the cellar is part of a larger project. Bring the current plans while the construction details, equipment requirements and finishes can still move.
