Joseph and Curtis did our original design in 2009, and we felt it was time to modernize and upgrade cellar. Curtis took it from there and created an amazing space in a short period of time. these guys are the best **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Fred...photos o follow! Cheers! Can't wait to crack a bottle! **★★★★★ — HU-349072781, July 2025** > I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my wine cellar project. Joseph Curtis and Sons took an old silverware vault in the basement of our turn of the century home and turned it into an amazing wine cellar. From the start, throughout and until the wine room was completed, the entire process was easy and every worker was professional and courteous. The materials used for the build out were gorgeous and top quality. Every detail of the cellar project was planned out, with the scheduling of the various portions of the build out, extremely well organized. Michael was a planning expert and really accommodating with our busy schedules. > I highly recommend Joseph Curtis Custom Wine Cellar if you are considering installing a beautiful and functional wine cellar any time soon. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > "I highly recommend Joseph Curtis Custom Wine Cellar if you are considering installing a beautiful and functional wine cellar any time soon."

Joe was easy to work with and always responsive. He designed and built a beautiful cellar. Our clients were thrilled with the final product and so were we! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you and appreciate the review..hope to work together again! **★★★★★ — Michael Spivak, Oct. 2024** > I was referred to this team by a very good friend. I was building my first floor. The team is extremely professional exceptionally priced and always on time. The wine Cellar and the Sauna are two of the most unique spaces that on the first floor. Good Luck to you guys. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Michael...your entire basement looks spectacular! Cheers and all the best! Curt **★★★★★ — Craig Carpenito Summit NJ, Sept. 2024** > I recently built a new home and a friend highly recommended Curtis and his team to built a wine cellar in my basement. He said they were the best in the business and they did not disappoint! The craftsmanship is impeccable. The wine cellar has become the centerpiece of our home. Our guests are all blown away. Both the price and the service were great. I cannot recommend J&C highly enough! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Craig...wish you guys all the best! Cheers CD **★★★★★ — T Murphy, June 2024** > The Joseph & Curtis Team was awesome to work with throughout the entire process - design through installation. Cery high quality work with great attention to detail and customer satisfaction. I’d highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Derek Steelberg, April 2024** > I just bought a house in NJ that Joseph & Curtis did the wine cellars for...they look great. I had an issue with the RH in the basement wine cellars and was able to discuss with Curt to figure out a solution. Thanks! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Derek- Hi and glad you reached out...this is the first we are hearing of this...what house did you buy? my cell is 908-295-2908 will help IF possible. Curt **★★★★★ — Conall Chabrunn, April 2024** > Curt and his team were the most professional contractors I’ve ever dealt with. Don’t let your imagination get boxed into only a wine cellar - Curt redid my entire basement. Cellar, TV room, everything. At one point when they were installing the cooling unit for the cellar, they realized a lot of the wood was rotted and it would be challenging to install. Instead of requesting extra money like almost everyone else would, his guy said “no worries, this is included.” Pure class through and through, and a product I’ll enjoy for a lifetime **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Connall your cellar is amazing...waiting for invite for a big game :) Thank you for your business! **★★★★★ — Bob Whelan, Dec. 2023** > Having never built a wine cellar from scratch before, I was somewhat apprehensive about the process initially. But Joseph and Curtis came very well recommended by friends and family, and my decision to use them was richly rewarded. From the initial design drawings, which I changed several times, through the construction, delivery and installation phases, Joe Kline and his team were excellent partners to work with! Communications were particularly important throughout the project, as the wine cellar was built in New Jersey and was being installed in another state. Joe had many conversations directly with my onsite home builder, which made the whole process go more smoothly than if I had been in the middle of these conversations. Possibly the most rewarding aspect of the project is the number of "Oohs" and "Aahs", plus the occasional "OMG", the wine cellar elicits from everyone who sees it. Thank you, Joseph and Curtis! **★★★★★ — mnadercpa, Dec. 2023** > Curt was a total professional and helped every step of the way including several changes in configurations. He was super informative about what works well and what doesn’t based on his past experiences. > > The craftsmanship, quality of the build, and materials are second to none. My family and friends were all blown away by it and all say it looks like something from a high end restaurant or magazine. > > Every time I walk in I get happy which is priceless! It far exceeded all and any expectations I had. > > Thank you Curt and team for building me the wine cellar of my dreams! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Mike it was an absolute pleasure...we so appreciate your business and review! Cheers my man **★★★★★ — Victor, Dec. 2023** > There is not much I can say about the wine wall they constructed without sounding like I the review was paid for by Joseph and Curtis, but here goes. The work was not only top quality but it was designed with the user in mind. The unit is quiet and the condenser is located outside. No one else we consulted would even offer an outside condenser but for J & C it was standard procedure. No condensation on the glass either, which was another concern. > And the look is just stunning. > It was not inexpensive but it was completely turnkey down to the painting and plastering. > > No hesitation to give them a full recommendation. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Victor much appreciated and Happy Holidays...and CHEERS my friend **★★★★★ — Scott Herdemian, Dec. 2023** > Curt and his crew did a fantastic job on our Custom Wine Cellar they built for us in the basement. They are great to work with. Curt is very focused on attention to detail and was very easy to communicate with. The quality of their work is well worth paying for and they make sure to focus on what you're looking for as a customer when designing the room. I had used some of my own racks in conjunction with their custom mahogany racks so it was nice that they were flexible in the design process. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Scott..the cellar and the custom bar look amazing...wish you all the best! **★★★★★ — Cosmo Marfione, Dec. 2023** > Professional and reliable service with the design and installation of our wine cellar. Looking forward to the build out of our bar! Great work and a pleasure. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Cosmo your home is amazing and now you have a worthy wine room for your enjoyment! **★★★★★ — Genadi, Oct. 2023** > An amazing project designed and built by professionals. Highly recommended if you’re looking for someone to build your dream wine cellar. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > THANK U GENADI...CELLAR IS AMAZING! WISH YOU MANY YEARS OF ENJOYMENT **★★★★★ — Matthew DiLiberto, Oct. 2023** > The work done by the Joseph and Curtis team to design, build and install our custom wine cellar exceeded our expectations in every facet. Clearly their reputation for incredible, large scale installations is well known. But I was particularly impressed that they were able to take their innovative designs and apply them to a smaller project like mine. The quality, the functionality and the look of the cellar are outstanding. And the entire team on the project, led by Curt, was courteous and professional. I would recommend Joseph and Curtis to anyone looking for a high-end, high-quality, beautiful wine cellar. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you for your trust,business, and hospitality. It was a pleasure working with you Matt! Cheers Curt **★★★★★ — Jen Kraft, July 2023** > I wish I could give Joseph and Curtis MORE starts than 5 because we are thrilled with the beautiful custom bar they built in our condominium. The space was previously unused, and now it is the centerpiece of our main room. We wanted them to be mostly in charge of the design, and they did a wonderful job of maximizing the space and matching the countertops and hardware to the rest of our home. They are so creative and added beautiful tiles and lighting to the backsplash which make it look like a piece of art. We found them to be extremely professional and easy to work with. Highly, highly recommend!! **★★★★★ — Enrico Pigna, Feb. 2023** > Joseph and Curtis were amazing! From beginning to end the process was simple. Great design and execution! I would reccomend them highly to anyone in need of a Wine storage room. **★★★★★ — Richard Braunstein, Dec. 2022** > Our wine cellar exceeded all of our expectations. We were able to develop the perfect cellar for our home. The attention to detail allows us to display and store our wines In a manner which truly integrates with our home. Joseph and Currtis worked with us to develop the perfect design balancing storage with display. The wine cellar is a focal point of attention and reflects our taste and appreciation for great wines. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Richard for the review and your business (as well as your friendship) Curt **★★★★★ — shangrala, Nov. 2022** > A very unique design with a real wow factor. Well executed and fairly priced. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Sam W., Nov. 2022** > Curt and his team were excellent to work with throughout the design and build process of our cellar. We worked completely over phone and emails to design and build my cellar racking and I could not be more pleased. The racking was delivered to my home and was very easy for my contractor to install per the drawings. The attention to detail throughout the design process and quality of the white oak racking was top notch! Highly recommend….. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Sam for your review and of course your business...wish you all the best! **★★★★★ — Amit J, Nov. 2022** > Fantastic experience. My project was for a new construction, and we wanted to take a 6' x 6' space that had been conceived as an extra pantry, and turn it into a wine cellar. Joseph and team did a great job with the design, and even after the usable space shrunk to 4' x 5' after the walls were put in, they designed a clean, modern white oak cellar with a simple tinted glass door, that fits \> 300 bottles. Particularly impressed with their ability to work with our general contractor, and communicate with the HVAC sub-contractor and electrician to ensure all of the mechanicals were in the right place, installed and powered / wired properly. Highly recommended! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Amit...and we appreciate you working w us and for your business **★★★★★ — David Shiffman, Nov. 2022** > These guys are the best in the business. Cellar looks fantastic and exactly like the renderings which were prepared. Very happy with everything and would recommend. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you David...so does your house BTW :) All the best and ty for your business **★★★★★ — Ryan, Nov. 2022** > Joseph and Curtis is simply the best. Their customization and attention to detail is unmatched. They are honest, timely and incredibly accessible. I am over the moon with the cellar they built for me. I had two potential locations for my cellar and Curt met me out at my house before I had committed to anything and walked me through why one location would be better for me than the other for what I was looking for. One other area Joseph and Curtis separated itself was in their prompt execution of all aspects of construction. My house was a new build and it seemed like we had to wait for every single thing we wanted or ordered long past what was initially promised EXCEPT with Joseph and Curtis, They stuck to their word on schedules and timing to THE DAY. Multiple times! When people see my cellar they are blown away. It is absolutely gorgeous. Curt and the team could not have been more helpful and collaborative through the process. Anybody looking for any sort of wine cellar, room, wall, should be going to Joseph and Curtis. I was told by a couple sommeliers that I trust that J&C were the best in the business and somehow they actually exceeded expectations. A total Home Run. I could not give them a bigger endorsement. Use them and be amazed. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Wow! Thank you very much Ryan for this incredible review...GOD BLESS the new home and your family. **★★★★★ — Mike, Nov. 2022** > From start to finish working with Jospeh and Curtis was a flawless experience. We built a bar at my house. No detail left untouched. From design. To build out. And I’m speaking from someone who is in the restaurant industry. All of Curt’s contractors are class acts, and are a pleasure to have work in your home. He changed my boring formal living room, to one of the coolest bar lounges I have ever been to. Big thank you to Curt. You guys are the best in business. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Much appreciated Mike...you guys are the best and were a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — craig7052, Nov. 2022** > These guys are amazing and they will make your space like like the best wine cellar you have seen. Amazing craftsmanship and ideas. Highly recommend!!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Craig and wish you guys many years of health and enjoyment **★★★★★ — Stacy Deyong, Oct. 2022** > Joseph and Curtis made our dream of owning a wine cellar a reality. They built the cellar from scratch and it EXCEEDED our expectations. Their knowledge of wine cellars is unrivaled (from every little detail including which air unit, type of wood, flooring, etc). We absolutely LOVE our cellar and will enjoy it for many many years— thank you Curt!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Stacy and Mike..it was a pleasure...photos to follow :) **★★★★★ — Anthony Fattell, Sept. 2022** > Curt and his team were great to work with right from the beginning of our project. He gave many helpful suggestions along the way to make my dream a reality. Could not be happier with how it turned out!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks Anthony we very much appreciate your business and kind words **★★★ — vsodano, Dec. 2021** > The only company to build your wine cellar. > Curt is the best and knows his trade inside and out. > My cellar was built from scratch and it is perfect. They use all great materials for an awesome look. > I totally recommend them for your cellar. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Mr Sodano! Have a great New Year and GOD bless **★★★★★ — chandhok\_shivani, Nov. 2021** > Joseph and Curtis make dreams come true. From outstanding design input, to their highly skilled team, they exude dependability and professionalism. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > That is music to our ears..thank you for taking the time to do the review **★★★★★ — HU-53398931, April 2021** > My bucket list included having a wine cellar. > Joe Kline of Joseph & Curtis made my dream a reality. > All aspects of the planning, execution, and completion were respectful, effortless, and exciting. > From the initial planning meetings to discuss my vision, visiting their manufacturing facility, working with Joe and his design team, to the professional installation and finished wine room, Joseph and Curtis were a pleasure to work with. > I love and enjoy my beautiful and functional wine cellar. **★★★★★ — Lisa Woods, April 2021** > My husband and I had long talked about adding a wine cellar and custom bar to our home but had no idea where to start. My husband had been a fan of Joseph and Curtis on Instagram for a while so we called Curt to do an initial consultation. He looked at our then unfinished basement and helped us design a wine cellar and bar that transformed the space into a dream area in our home. We could not be happier with the result. Our now fully finished basement feels like a night out at a beautiful lounge! The experience from start to finish was excellent and I'm so glad we made that first call! **★★★★★ — Michael, March 2021** > From the beginning It was clear that Joseph loved wine as much as designing and building wine cellars which made the final product so personal. > > J&C started with a great design and kept the project on schedule. The workmanship of the walnut cabinetry is beautiful. We love it!!!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you very much Michael...your cellar is gorgeous and we really appreciate your business! **★★★★★ — gianakou, March 2021** > After lots of years enjoyng wine and using a combination of VinoTemp wine fridge and basement storage, we decided that the time had come for a more permanent (and beautiful) home for our collection. My wife and I have four children (including three teenagers) and live in a 1921 Tudor-style home, so it wasn't feasible to turn an entire room into our new wine cellar. We decided that a wall opposite the fireplace in our living room could be re-configured as a "wine wall" and provide just what we were looking for. The wall in question has a leaded glass window at the center (which looks into our sun room) and we had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted, so we knew we needed just the right partner to turn our vision into a reality. > > We did a BUNCH of investigation and quickly zeroed in on Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars -- they were based in our native New Jersey and their Web site had a truly fantastic portfolio of projects in all sizes, shapes, and styles. Joe ("Joseph") Kline responded to my inquiry immediately and came out for a visit. I showed him my drawing of the wine wall we had in mind, he responded with a bunch of excellent ideas and suggestions, and the process was underway! As you might expect, there are a LOT of completely custom details to figure out for a project like this, and Joe (and the whole J&C team) could not have been more responsive, meticulous, and accommodating every step of the way. Even though our project was almost certainly on the smaller side of what J&C build, it was a very big deal for US. And to their credit J&C treated our project as a very big deal throughout the design, build, and installation phases. This is pretty specialized work, and J&C's expertise and vast experience with completed projects shows every step of the way. > Communication was excellent and nearly immediate in all cases, and we ended up with a wine wall even more beautiful than we had envisioned. Our home has a gorgeous new "feature" that makes me smile each time I see it. We could not recommend J&C more highly! **★★★★★ — andrewgiannotti, March 2021** > We couldn't be happier with the wine cellar that Joseph and Curtis designed and built for us! They captured our ideas perfectly in the final product, and accommodated changes during the process that we requested. The installation went smoothly and the installers were very friendly and professional. Couldn't recommend more highly!!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Andrew it was our pleasure! Cheers my friend! **★★★★★ — HU-38122076, Feb. 2021** > Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars built a wonderful 1250 bottle wine cellar in my new home. From the initial design consultation to the final build it was perfect. The highest level of workmanship is evident throughout the project. I was so happy with the result that I had them build me a whiskey bar which also came out perfectly. You should not think about using anyone else for wine cellars or bars, their design sense, quality of materials and workmanship and overall finish is first rate. You can not go wrong!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > All we can say is thank you for this incredible review AND YOUR BUSINESS!! It was our pleasure!! **★★★★★ — Michael DiCarlo, Jan. 2021** > We had an amazing experience with Joseph and Curtis. We couldn't be happier with this company. From design to completion, they are with you every step of the way. Best in the business!! Special thanks to our project manager, Mike Martin. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Cheers Mike! Cellar looks amazing....so happy you choose J and C!! **★★★★★ — HU-764755716, Dec. 2020** > Joseph and Curtis made our dream come true of having a cellar. They made all of our design ideas work and it came out even better than we could have ever imagined. Their attention to detail meant they were still helping shape it and add to it even when it was "done". They were so helpful and I can't wait to build my next cellar with them! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Wow this hits them all for us...happy customer, design, AND attention to detail...ty so much! **★★★★★ — HU-357942090, Nov. 2020** > A perfect job completed by a great Company. The finished product exceeded all expectations. The craftsmen who came for each aspect of the project (carpentry, insulation, tiling, electrical work, glass door, cooling system and final implementation) were all great. I particularly want to callout Juan & David. We chose a 1250 capacity Wine Cellar, in white oak, installed in our basement. It starts with a consultation (Curt came) to identify the location and the customer's requirements. This is followed by a rough draft, and after a couple of iterations comes the final design. The space was prepared and then insulated, lined and tiled. The wine racks are then delivered and installed. In parallel, the cooling system was completed, and finally the glass door. I would recommend Joseph and Curtis for any wine cellar project, big or small. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you so very much David...cellar looks amazing and ready to be filled! **★★★★★ — gianabernheim, Sept. 2020** > Joseph and Curtis did a beautiful custom modern black wine room for our home. As a company they are professional, responsive and very easy to work with. The wine room is a major focal point on the first floor of our home and not only is it practical for our use, but also serves as an incredible wow factor for our guests. I highly recommend them! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Giana- I always loved your creativity which we were able to bring to life in your new wine room...wish you guys many years of happiness and god bless **★★★★★ — Ted Moudis, Sept. 2020** > From my very first meeting with Joe I knew that it was going to be a successful project. > As an Architect, I was able to envision the Cellar from the plans that were created. I am extremely pleased with the final outcome. Truly the Wine Cellar that I always hoped to have one day! > Joseph & Curtis... Thank you!! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Ted we really appreciate this incredible review...you truly helped make this as seamless as possible! **★★★★★ — Mina Abdelshahed, Sept. 2020** > I am absolutely lucky to have found Joseph and Curtis. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Each step of the way was flawless. They were able to recreate a small closet into a stunning wine cellar. Joe Kline is great, professional, responsive, flexible, and creative. If you need a wine cellar, they are the only people I would recommend. We love our cellar and all our guests do too. Thanks for everything! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Mina...wish you guys all the best and cheers! **★★★★★ — Tom M., July 2020** > Joe and his team were great to work with. We combined 2 closets to create a walk-in cellar (~1k bottles). The primary goals were functionality and capacity. Working with the J&C team and the CAD design process helped us figure out and settle on a design before any demo & construction began. This also helped us address some tricky aspects of the job- covering radon pipes -in an aesthetically pleasing way while still maximizing space. Joe never forced his design aesthetic on me and we worked great together to iterate through ideas and test out different configurations to get something that maximized capacity, was amazingly functional and incredibly beautiful. He even took one of the closet doors and inlaid glass in it so that the door exactly matched the rest of the room. > > Joe was incredibly responsive. The team was exceptionally professional and when there were some minor issues, they always were incredibly responsive with a positive attitude and the goal of making things right. On a weekend Joe even showed up to fix an insulation issue that none of us had anticipated and his wife kindly waited. > > I can't recommend Joseph & Curtis enough. They are great partners and as in any partnership small things arise so definitely do your part of checking all designs thoroughly. Joe cares A LOT about quality and he does what he says. The ability to trust that things would get done to a high standard made the entire process enjoyable instead of stressful. I was never surprised and there was never any equivocation about anything. We settled on a price at the very beginning then it was all about the work and getting a result I was pleased with. The cellar turned out beautifully. Thanks Joe & team! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Tom it was our pleasure...and we really appreciate the business **★★★★★ — Brian Gates, June 2020** > I cannot say enough about Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars. From start to finish, they were professional, easy to work with and delivered product that was even better than advertised. Given the circumstances with the COVID outbreak, I was expecting delayed installation times but they never skipped a beat.

We really appreciate your business and taking the time to write this incredible review...cheers! **★★★★★ — Kate Higgins, April 2020** > Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars came highly recommended from friends and our favorite local wine store. Within just a few days of meeting Curt and showing him our space we had a full set of drawings that more than met our needs. We had just a minor revision which was quickly accommodated and the work began in their shop. When the final product was installed the majority of the work had already been done in their workshop so it was quick, relatively quiet and clean! The installation team was incredibly polite and professional. We are delighted with our new wine room. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Kate- > Thank you for choosing J and C...wish you guys all the best! Thank you for taking the time to write this review it really means alot! Stay safe and cheers...Curt **★★★★★ — Steven Rosenthal, April 2020** > We had a wine cellar installed from Joseph and Curtis in our new house one year ago. They installed a wine cellar on our prior house a few years ago. Both of the wine cellars have space for 800 - 1000 bottles, very quiet, fully insulated, perfect temperature, great door, excellent lighting, wonderful walls with glass and wood and perfect design. Work was done on time. Joseph and Curtis and very nice owners of their company. I would only use Joseph and Curtis if I need another wine cellar. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Steve- We were so happy you chose J&C for your second wine cellar...all we have to do now is keep you moving! :) wish you all the best my friend and keep drinking the Caymus! **★★★★★ — David Martin, April 2020** > I used Joseph and Curtis for a custom high end wine cellar in my Philadelphia apartment and was thrilled with how it came out. They did a great job being flexible during the design phase as we changed our minds numerous times. The installation was top notch and I have been extremely satisfied with its use since then. I heartily recommend them for your wine cellar needs. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you David...your apartment is amazing and we wish you all the best!

We have a Manhattan apartment and wanted 600+ capacity custom wine cabinet in our living room that was decorative and functional and the design they provided was spot on. Joseph and Curtis came highly recommended from two different sources but I still did my homework to make sure the pricing was in-line with some other high end competitors which it was. I've done a few renovation projects and I've found successful projects are done by vendors who do what they promise and stand behind their work. I highly recommend Joseph and Curtis. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > David it was an absolute pleasure working for you...and we could not be more pleased with the outcome! We wish you many years of happiness and success! Cheers my friend.....J&C **★★★★★ — Luiza Logan, Dec. 2019** > We initially consulted with J & C to create a refrigerated wine room. Unfortunately, despite offering us several alternatives for ventilating the room, the board would not allow us to move forward. Luckily, J&S told us they would still make something stunning for us that complied with the board’s demands. Well they sure did not disappoint. They created a masterpiece. It truly is a piece of art. The quality of their work is extraordinary and exceeded our expectations. > They maintained a professional business attitude in the most admirable manner. Excellent communication and response time. We highly recommend using J & S. **★★★★★ — HU-879153099, Dec. 2019** > I began consulting with Curt Dahl of Joseph & Curtis on this job just about a year ago when I was in the planning stages of my new home. Curt was extremely friendly and walked me through every option and configuration that was available to me. I decided on a transitional concept with a bottle capacity of just under 1000 bottles. Throughout the project Curt was extremely understanding and easy to work with. They were prompt and courteous, and above all kept every promise they gave me. Every time his crew was on site they were Aces and I cannot be more thankful for the beautiful job that they did. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Dave > > Thank you so very much first off for your business and taking the time to include this incredible review!!

Let’s get right to details. > > Pro’s > > \- you will be super happy with the finished product. Obviously this is the most important thing, right? When I was younger I did fine woodworking and even exhibited in some shows. I have an eye for quality woodwork. This is well done....... > \- they have an excellent eye for design. They improved my design tremendously and rendered really appropriate 3D models. > \- excellent fit and finish > \- awe factor - my cellar draws rave compliments from a collection of hardened New Yorkers. It’s quite special. They killed it. > \- flexible - a small support problem arose, I suggested an improvement, they agreed and we altered the design at the end for a slightly different solution. No charge. Super easy. > > Con’s > \- well, these things do cost money, don’t they. Initial estimate did go up but it was all baked into the terms. Honestly though - luxury products cost.... > \- payment terms. Usually I only like delivering full payment at the end (say, 50% up front, 50% on completion). Here you pay basically half up front, 45% when they are about to start work, and 5% at the end. It does make one feel one doesn’t have leverage. > \- they’re in demand. Welcome to working with quality artisans in the nyc area. Final little details can drag as they get pulled away to other jobs. If I grade on a curve for nyc construction i’d say they are about average in this regard (which means you are kind of at their mercy for scheduling, but hey, again, that’s life). > \- basically if you’ve done construction in NY/NJ then these guys are a piece of cake. If you haven’t then just be zen about time and you’ll get a dream cellar. > > All in all - i’d use them again in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — HU-733829923, Aug. 2019** > Joseph and Curtis helped us to create a beautiful wine room and adjoining decanting station.

The wine cellar itself and professionalism of the whole team greatly exceeded all of my expectations. As you may know, if you have done any construction project in the past, you can sometimes experience a negative surprise or additional cost. Not the case here. Beginning with the design phase suggestions you could tell Joseph and Curtis was a special firm. During the project there was always accurate and timely communication.

Cheers **★★★★★ — Michael Quinn, Nov. 2018** > Joseph and Curtis have designed and constructed our wine rooms in our last two homes and I can't say enough what a pleasure the experience has been. From the outset, they gathered information from us as to what our needs, desires and expectations were regarding our wine room. They took this information and incorporated it into our design. We participated in an interactive design review of our shop drawings and tweaked them to our liking. Joseph and Curtis offered us several different materials to use for our wine racks, stone, tile, lighting and refrigeration and allowed us to pick the ones that provided the look and functionality that we desired. The construction of our wine room went very smoothly without any major hiccups. We have now been living in our house for 6 months and proudly show off our wine room as being one of our favorite rooms in the house. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks guys and WOW does that wine room look GREAT! We wish you many years of happiness in your gorgeous new home! CHEERS!

For many, the cellar takes us away to the Tuscan hillside or that rustic farmhouse outside Calistoga. Joseph and Curtis understand the importance of balancing the aesthetic value, the need to protect an investment, and capturing a piece of who we are and how to express it in our cellar. For more than a decade, Cellar Stewards has worked closely with Joseph and Curtis, referring enthusiasts and collectors. We have heard nothing but positive feedback firsthand. Cellar Stewards is passionate about assisting collectors by organizing the fluctuations of one’s collection, advice on collectibles and everyday favorite wines and food pairing.

Mike did a great job of getting us what we wanted and adding some nice finishing touches as well. Overall, the reason for 5 stars is I found them professional, capable, quality, flexible, and responsive. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Matt- > Thank you so much, we love hearing our clients love our work. We had a great time working with you and I am sure you will love your new cellar. Thank you for choosing J&C and we REALLY appreciate your business. **★★★★★ — Kim Nadler, Feb. 2017** > We have just completed our project with Joseph and Curtis and we couldn't be happier with the end product. Mike helped us take an extra storage closet in our mudroom and transform it into a beautiful space to house our growing wine collection. Everyone that worked on this project was friendly, knowledgeable and respectful of our home. We will absolutely recommend J&C to our family and friends. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thank you Mrs Nadler for your business and your incredible kindness. We hope you will have many years of happiness in your new wine cellar! **★★★★★ — Brad phillips, Feb. 2017** > We designed a 2 wine cabinet, sink, wine wall in a living room space, vs. in a stuffy basement. All walnut. Great process from start to finish. Creative ideas from Curt and his team. Always professional, and appreciated them cleaning up as they finished different stages. End product is a "wow" factor effect which we wanted in our house. Looks like a million bucks.... **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Brad you were a pleasure to work with and WE REALLY appreciate your business and of course these kind words...Cheers! Curt **★★★★★ — Christine B, Feb. 2017** > Great customized design for your budget and space! There were some communication gaps but all in all got the job done and done beautifully! Highly recommended. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Christine thank you for the opportunity to work in your lovely home! The wine cellar is a true wine gallery and a very happy home for your wine! **★★★★★ — DJ Clemente, Feb. 2017** > Joseph & Curtis were amazing from the very beginning. We were building an extension to our home which included a wine room and cellar. We met with a few designers and couldn’t quite decide on the right layout until we met Curt. He quickly turned around and presented us with some great design ideas to optimize the space. He was very easy to work with, accommodating and extremely patient with us while we worked out details with our contractor. The end result far exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with our new wine room and cellar. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Doreen that you so much for this tremendous feedback! We are so proud and happy that we were able to "far exceed" your expectations! Cheers Curt **★★★★★ — Joseph Misk, Jan. 2017** > My project was a bit difficult since I was building out the entire basement area (floors, walls, theatre room, gym, etc.). A lot of coordination was needed between me and the various sub-contractors. Working with Joe (from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars) was a pleasure. He was patient with me and the job while I was dealing with my own delays. I changed my mind a few times on layout and details. He visited more than once and was very accommodating and helpful. He was generous with his time and expertise. All very professional. I am extremely happy with their work and I highly recommend them! Cheers! **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Joe- > It was a pleasure working with you and patience is something we specialize in! Joe **★★★★★ — flavia1017, Jan. 2017** > Excellent Service. Amazing craftsmanship, professional crew, on time delivery. Went above and beyond. Exceeded my expectations! Our wine cellar looks beautiful. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Flavia- > I cannot tell you how much we appreciate you taking the time to write this, but most importantly earning your business. Wish you and the family years of happiness! Curt **★★★★★ — mikeant75, Dec. 2016** > Install was done on time and with no imperfections. When the job was done it was absolutely perfect. Would recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — Eric D, Dec. 2016** > I spoke with Mike Martin when inquiring about a custom wine cellar. From the first phone conversation, I felt I made the right decision. Their attention detail and level of work was amazing. So happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend Mike Martin and his professional team. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > It is so enjoyable designing a custom wine cellar for someone so passionate about their wine and the special place they want to keep it in. I am looking forward to the beaituful pictures added to our extensive porfolio. **★★★★★ — Steven Rosenthal, Nov. 2016** > Joe met us a few years ago when we consider a wine cellar. Subsequently, we thought we might be moving so we canceled a cellar project. Recently, we agreed to not move so we decided to have a wine cellar. Joe met us again, studied our basement for a possible wine cellar. We never thought that it would never be able to place a cellar in our basement because of too many pipes, ducts, short ceiling, wires, small area, etc. However, the cellar exceeded our plans. We have a capacity cellar of 850 bottles. The room was rebuilt, wooden walls, ceiling, floor, insulation, lights and a refrigerator. Then the racks were installed. All was excellent. Joe and his team were friendly and professional. I would like to add that one of his team's worker fixed a broken mail slot in our front door and he did this quickly without addition cost. Excellent. If we move again, we would use them again. I would recommend them to all. **★★★★★ — Janet Karageozian, Sept. 2016** > We absolutely LOVE our new Wine Cellar and Bar! Beautiful, quality work. Even to the smallest detail, they exceeded our expectations and were fair. Curt is very easy to work with and an extremely talented designer. He was very responsive to our needs and am very confident that if needed, he would be there for us. Their team is not only very skilled, but professional and make you feel at ease. I would strongly recommend Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars and would hire them all over again. **★★★★★ — dave Ferreiro, Aug. 2016** > I hired Joseph and Curtis to design and build a wine cellar in a spare room in my basement after seeing all of the wonderful projects they had designed completed in the area. Our house is old, so we were aware of the inherent challenges working with an old space. Curtis, conceived, designed and managed the construction of a beautiful space. The craftsmanship and woodwork are spectacular. We couldn't be happier with the finished product! I would recommend them to anyone considering building a wine cellar. **★★★★★ — Pirrello Interiors, July 2016** > It was a pleasure working with you at my Wyckoff clients home. The design and installation of their wine room is beautiful. > Angela Pirrello - Pirrello Interiors. **★★★★★ — jgbanker, July 2016** > I had a bar built with a stone wall behind it with floor to ceiling wine racks. I was very pleased with everything. They were prompt, neat and professional. The stone wall has LED lights that wash it and create an amazing effect! **★★★★★ — B N, July 2016** > I hired Joseph and Curtis to install a custom 3200 bottle wine cellar. Project came out great, everyone was very professional and respectful. Project came in on time and within my budget. I would recommend they to anyone. **★★★★★ — Amy C, July 2016** > I had a room that was about 10' x 12" and needed to store about 700 bottles. Not a huge collection but I wasn't exactly sure how the cellar should look to maximize the space and still have room for a tasting table. Joseph and Curtis gave me great design options and helped me select the perfect wood type for my project. The craftsmanship of the racks is beautiful and the cellar just looks great. They are so passionate about what they do. I would highly recommend them. Such an awesome WOW! factor addition to my home. **★★★★★ — Brian Baldwin, June 2016** > Mike Martin and staff was great to work with. The Cellar came out better than expected and on time. It was a pleasure to work with Mike who made our vision come to life. I would highly recommend Mike Marten with Joseph and Curtis to anyone. **★★★★★ — Timothy Leone, June 2016** > Designed and constructed our wine cellar including the cooling system, racks, door and trim. They worked with our onsite contractors to help with the initial construction. They listened to our needs and helped us make the best decisions. Our cellar turned out to be a tremendous addition to our house! **★★★★★ — lululonghorn, May 2016** > We hired JOSEPH and CURTIS to design and construct the conversion of an old barn/garage into a state-of-the-art, 7,000 bottle wine cellar. It was a challenge to completely control the environment to make it wine-friendly... we have 14 ft ceilings and about 1,500 square feet, half below grade and half above. Curt was a problem solver and made the unique space work. He was creative, responsive and worked well with us and the other trades. He understood our desire to combine a large capacity with the look and feel of a chateau cellar. Their design is gorgeous and seemlessly integrates the clean and modern lines of the walnut racking and hand-crafted ladders, which slide on iron rods to make use of the height, with our existing antique chestnut beams and stone. They made several site visits to make sure every detail was addressed and their installation crew is top-notch. Curt and his team deliver beautiful work and we highly recommend!! **★★★★★ — mgari, May 2016** > I researched the marketplace for wine cellar companies and selected Joseph and Curtis based upon their design and competitiveness. From the my first meeting with Joe, I knew i made the right choice. They were very professional, listened to my requirements and executed exactly as promised. The installation went smoothly with no issues. I could not be happier with the work performed. **★★★★★ — jencontrucci, March 2016** > We could not be happier with the wine cellar Joseph and Curtis installed in our renovated home. They did an amazing job laying out the racks and maximizing the space, taking into account all the design aspects we wanted in our cellar. Joe Klein was our main contact and he was responsive and very professional. He worked alongside our contractor throughout our renovation to ensure the design of our cellar met all our needs. Gave us great advice on the design and layout, along with the choice of wood and finishes. The installation professionals were fantastic - very neat, professional and responsive. We highly recommend Joseph and Curtis for your wine cellar design and installation. **★★★★★ — Tom Uzzo, March 2016** > Stop your search for a wine cellar design-build contractor after meeting the guys at Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars. I had the pleasure of working with Curt from initial concept discussion through cellar construction and system start-up. From the beginning, Curt and his team took a professional, thorough, no-nonsense approach. They listened to what I wanted to do and came through with a great design and fantastic finished product. And they took care of every aspect of my cellar construction (unlike the companies that just want to sell wine racking or cooling units). Many aspects of my new home are beautiful but my Joseph & Curtis wine cellar is among the highlights. **★★★★★ — ken\_zorzi, March 2016** > I really did my homework in choosing who was going design and build my wine cellar. I decided on Joseph and Curtis for the project and I am extremely pleased with my choice. Mike Martin was the PM on my project and I can't say enough good things about him. Right from the start I knew it was going to be a good experience. Mike always kept me appraised of every aspect of the job, what stage we were at and who was going to be on the job site and when. Another thing I would like to point out is that Joseph and Curtis have true craftsmen working for them. From the building of my wine racks and cabinets, to the carpenters who built out the room, the tile installation, the room painting, and the final installation they are all true craftsmen and take extreme pride in their work because its show in the end product. **★★★★★ — pcerisolam, Feb. 2016** > Joseph and Curtis built the wine cellar in our home recently and we couldn't be happier. We worked with Michael Martin, and he was wonderful. Very professional, accommodating, respectful and patient with my questions and doubts. He offered various options for design and materials to use while being mindful of the budget at hand. The project was finished in a timely manner and without any problems. He really went above and beyond. Having workers at home can be stressful, but in this case it was the exact opposite. Never had any issues at all. We highly recommend using this company. They stand by their product and have very professional, nice people working for them. We love our new wine room; it is exactly what we wanted. Thank you Mike and thank you Joseph & Curtis! **★★★★★ — Ian Dorin, Feb. 2016** > Always great work, and super creative as well. Customer service is A+ too. My clients are always thrilled, and they loving sharing post project photos with me! **★★★★★ — shane8, Feb. 2016** > Curt and Joe are consummate professionals. They are extremely versatile and put the vision of the client first. Modern, traditional, small or large - they deliver the highest quality product in the industry. They are the best in the business. **★★★★★ — spyder625, Feb. 2016** > I made the first call to Joseph and Curtis to determine if we had enough space to have a wine cellar in our basement. Mike called me instantly back and came the next day and was very accommodating with our schedule. For me that was key and the moment I knew this company was the right one for us. The last thing I wanted was to do was to be working with a company that had their own schedule and couldn't accommodate mine. Everything went as planned from the moment we sat down to the renderings of what it would look like. After a couple of changes we were set to go. Couldn't have asked for a better rep (Mike) to work with. If I ever needed another wine cellar they would be my first call. You can't go wrong. Keep up the great work and stay humble. The process you have in your company is working. **★★★★★ — Garrett Ferris, Jan. 2016** > Great ideas and designs. Very responsive to questions or adjustments that needed to be made. Completely professional and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to build a wine cellar. **★★★★★ — 21st Century Digital, Jan. 2016** > As the photographer for this company, I have worked on around 100 or so projects with Joseph and Curtis over a period of about 7 years and I have seen all kinds of traditional and contemporary Wine Cellar designs. “Contemporary lovers” may not like the feel of a traditional design and vice versa, but there are a few things that are consistent with each installation. They are: their use of quality hardware, professional skilled carpenters, plumbers, electricians and even artists and also a willingness to work closely with their client’s suggestions for the overall design of a wine cellar. If however their customers ask for something that is outside the operational design of a particular installation, Joseph and Curtis will speak up and not simply “YES” their prospective clients to death just to get the job. If I could afford a wine cellar and the wine to fill it with, I would hire these people, because I have learned what to look for in a wine cellar that doesn’t only look good, but has been designed to operate with minimal maintenance down the road. > Neil. 21st Century Digital Photography. **★★★★★ — ekingiii, Jan. 2016** > Joe and Curtis designed and built a 1500 bottle refrigerated wine cellar and adjoining wine tasting room for us in our home. They worked closely with us as we made a few design changes through the bailout. Not only are they polite, but their crews are equally as polite and respectful of you home and the surroundings. We have enjoyed many, many hours with our friends enjoying the beautiful cellar and tasting room. Results exceeded expectations. We would recommend them without reservation no matter the size of the cellar that would be desired. Great job guys and continued success!! > > Cheryl & Ed **★★★★★ — Robin Lewy Design Consulting, Jan. 2016** > I am interior designer on a complete home renovation. We were including a wine cellar as part of the project. This is not my area of expertise so I researched professionals to assist in the design and the specifics needed to complete this part of the project. I selected Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars based on photographs of their work and excellent customer reviews. Curtis worked closely with my client, the contractor of the home renovation and myself. My client could not be more pleased with the final results. **★★★★★ — Pessie Lubin, Dec. 2015** > Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars did a great job in my home! They are quick and efficient and the customer service is excellent. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — VintageView, Dec. 2015** > Joseph & Curtis is a premier wine cellar partner of ours. They produce some amazing wine cellar designs that reflect the contemporary style of our products. A few examples include: The Brooklyn Heights home that uses Wall Series racks set against stunning custom, white wood work. We are also impressed with the mix of wood racking and our metal racking used in the two-story wine 4K Wine Cellar in Long Island. > > These guys design as well as anyone in the business. You must consider them as your cellar designer if you live in the South Florida or Tri State areas. **★★★★★ — albanesebasement, Nov. 2015** > We recently finished our basement to create a terrific space to lounge with family and friends. Of extreme importance to us was to invest in a temperature controlled well designed wine room to properly store our wine collection and to go with the rustic industrial like theme we decided for the space. We did not want the traditional old school wine cellar. Fortunately, we found Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars to help us achieve our goal. The Joseph and Curtis team did a tremendous job designing, building, installing and working with the builder and us to create a non-traditional wine room that compliments the bar lounge area of our basement. Originally we were planning a smaller wine closet but as the walls went up we moved the glass out further to have room to walk in the wine room. The wine room holds approximately 700 bottles of wine. The cabinet in the room is painted wood which is a perfect compliment to the wine racks above and surrounding it. We absolutely love our wine room! And would highly recommend Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars to anyone. Thank You! **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2015** > I've worked together with Joe & Curt on a few of projects over the past several years and have always had great results. Their attention to detail is impeccable, their crews are highly qualified and work well with all of the various trades involved with high end custom home building projects. I highly recommend their services to anyone interested in adding a wine room to your home or place of business. > > V. Lobozzo > Vantage Construction > Custom Home Specialist **★★★★ — Stewart Michael Design, Aug. 2015** > Stewart Michael Design hired Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine to fabricate the most spectacular wine rooming the Hamptons. Working side by side with Joseph, my client and myself created a dramatic wine alcove from an existing pantry. The wine room can be viewed from the adjacent Dining room and Billiard room. The glow from the LED lit floor illuminates the room while accent lights from above highlight the bottles. > > I would highly recommend Joseph and Curtis Wine company. > > Thank you Joseph for all the hard work, it paid off. > Stewart Silverman. Stewart Michael Design **★★★★★ — Harmon Skurnik, Aug. 2015** > Curt just designed and completed building out a new cellar in my new home. The result is gorgeous, with solid white oak hardwood racks that fill out the cellar efficiently and beautifully. The cellar has vapor barrier insulation foam in the walls, and is fully temperature controlled with a unit he recommended that sits adjacent to the cellar and takes up zero room inside... > Not only are Curtis and Joseph experts at building wine cellars, but they also know plenty about wine - and therefore understand what the serious wine lover is looking for in a cellar - conditions that will gracefully age his/her wines as long as possible - and look beautiful while doing so. I highly recommend them. Probably the best game in town. **★★★★★ — Lisa Urbanek, Aug. 2015** > I am so pleased with my new wine cellar! It is in a relatively small space in a closet beneath my stairs, but Curt did a beautiful design which gave me more bottle storage than I thought possible! Leif and his son did the installation and were wonderful to deal with! **★★★★★ — Mark Fraser, Aug. 2015** > I hired Joseph & Curtis to design and build my wine cellar. From the start they provided me with professional and thorough service. They were available to answer any questions I had and put me at ease throughout the process. The completed project looks great and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a top of the line wine cellar design and installation partner. **★★★★★ — doughejp, Aug. 2015** > I dealt with Curt Dahl for both the design and building execution of the cellar. I feel that the strengths of dealing with Curt were: 1) the design, with all of the details specific for a wine cellar, was superb; 2) the custom racking, with higher grade wood (in our case mahogany), built by Joseph & Curtis was both aesthetically beautiful and very practical; and 3) the construction crews were knowledgable, very respectful, and easy to deal with. Overall, Joseph & Curtis did a first-rate job with which we are very happy. **★★★★★ — andyfrank13, July 2015** > They were fantastic! I love the final product and am very impressed with their patience in designing the room with me (and all of the changes that I requested). I definitely would recommend them! **★★★★ — gtullyjr, June 2015** > First contacted J&C in Nov. '14 and after a site visit to review existing condition and discuss our intended project scope, a ballpark estimate of cost (a price range +/- $6k, depending on final cellar capacity, finishes etc) , together with a preliminary scope of work was furnished by J&C. > > Having agreed on the preliminary scope, we paid J&C a design retainer fee which authorized them to produce 3D CAD drawings for our review and approval. Initial iteration of design dwgs were received within 3 weeks. After some review and discussion, revised dwgs were received after an additional 3 weeks, bringing us to mid-Dec. '14. > > After finalizing all necessary details, a contact for a 900-1000 bottle capacity cellar was entered into in the last days of 2014, signed and a 50% deposit paid in early Jan. '15. Late Jan., J&C visited site with person responsible for performing all demolition and construction. Actual work was commenced in mid to late Feb. which involved removal and demolition work followed by electrical rough-in and existing plumbing line relocation. > > The so-called 'construction phase', which includes all of the previously described work, plus the insulation, sheetrock and flooring installation. These items were generally (but not completely) done by mid-March. > > At this juncture, J&C needed to perform detailed field measurements in order to get final design dimensions prior to fabrication of the custom bottle racks to be installed in the space. We also selected wall paint color and wood species and finish for the rack system in this time frame. By the end of March, the final design for the wine racks was approved for fabrication. > > From early April through mid-May only sporadic items of work were performed on-site...i.e.- electrical work (lighting install, power for cooling unit), taping and spackling of sheetrock, insulated door install, install cooling unit through wall, etc.). > > Fabrication of the rack system was completed by late May and installed over the course of 5-6 working days. The majority of work was completed by the end of May '15, with only minor punch list, cleanup and patching work remaining to be done. This work was done in a single visit in mid-June. > > The scheduling and coordination of the work and subcontract trades (electrical, plumbing) was, at times, less than desirable or optimal. As a result, the project likely lingered for longer than may have otherwise been expected. > > Overall, the workmanship of the final product is excellent and on that basis would recommend J&C for anyone considering a project of a similar nature. **★★★★★ — bobcervoni, June 2015** > Joseph & Curtis designed a fabulous wine cellar for me. Curtis was professional and genuinely concerned that I got exactly what I wanted and that I was happy. I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — sejallakhani, June 2015** > From the concept to the execution, Joseph and Curtis provide a luxury service! We wanted a modern cellar which would also serve as a showpiece and the result is breathtaking! Curtis is always there to answer every question, ensure you are happy with the design, work with you to make sure that each part of the cellar is perfect. If you are looking for a luxury cellar ...modern, traditional, transitional...this is the company to use! Between service and product, they are at the top! **★★★★★ — daschutzenhofer, May 2015** > Great service and product. Both are responsive, respectful and creative. Our wine cabinets have been a popular addition to our club. **★★★★★ — lotusblossom23, May 2015** > Joseph did a great job of designing a beautiful cellar of white oak out of an old toy closet. I love sitting in the cellar and looking at the about 500 bottles it holds. Project was slightly delayed by backorder of a door but otherwise very timely and easy to work with in creating the design. **★★★★★ — beaches, April 2015** > Joseph and Curtis just installed a custom wine racking for my wine room. > It came out beautifully. > Mike, the project manager, was masterful in designing and then tweaking the design to get my > ideas incorporated into the design. **★★★★★ — marlow617, April 2015** > There is a simple reason why Joseph and Curtis is without question the best in the business -- their professionalism, attention to detail and work product is fantastic and second to none. They helped transform a small, basic and inelegant cedar closet in the basement of my house into a showplace and one of the featured rooms of the house. Mike and Joe treat each project like they are working on their own house and are very timely to respond and go out of the way to make sure the customer is happy; traits you unfortunately do not see often enough. Cheers to the whole team at Joseph and Curtis for another very happy client. **★★★★★ — Wine Care Concepts LLC, April 2015** > We are wholesale providers of industry-leading wine cellar climate control systems, with 25 years in the industry. We have worked with many custom wine cellar builders over the years. Joseph & Curtis of Watchung NJ are as skilled and professional as any we have worked with, having brought to this industry a very unique blend of experience that has put them at the pinnacle. From classic to contemporary, and everything in between, if these men can't design and build it, it can't be designed and built! **★★★★★ — gbienstock, March 2015** > Joseph and Curtis were great from cellar conception to implementation. They are knowledgeable, friendly and resourceful. I love the way my cellar turned out and am proud to show it off. I would highly recommend using them. **★★★★★ — ckbowen54, March 2015** > I hired Joseph & Curtis to build my wine cellar in a home that I built in East Hampton NY several years ago. I wish that I had a picture to illustrate how beautiful it was. Curt was my contact and he's fantastic. User-friendly, informative, great design sense. I'm building another home and wouldn't consider anyone else. Highly professional and responsive to both projects. These guys are really good at what they do. **★★★★★ — bgruby, March 2015** > These guys did a great job. They were true to their word in terms of estimates. The work was of high quality. They also brought some very nice design ideas to the table. Cellar looks great and is working great. > > Nice work guys - thanks again. **★★★★★ — lucania61, March 2015** > We hired them to build us a custom wine cellar with a cigar humidor. We wanted it to be all glass on both sides so it could be seen in two different rooms and light up. They were so helpful and extremely knowledgeable. There work was exceptional!!!!!! We are so happy with the finished project. They were also very helpful with the wine selection. > > We would recommend them to anyone who is interested in having a custom wine cellar built. > > Joseph and Maria Lucania **★★★★★ — normankoenigsberg, March 2015** > Joseph and Curtis designed our rustic cellar almost three years ago. From their creative design team to their custom craftsmanship, they truly exceeded our expectations. When guests walk into our wine room they are amazed how well it flows with the rustic log décor. > > They truly take pride in their work. Would highly recommend to Joseph and Curtis. **★★★★★ — acasimano, March 2015** > Joseph and Curtis are amazing. I built a 14,000 square foot villa. As you can imagine, I dealt with countless companies, contractors and workers. Of everyone, Joseph and Curtis were one of the best. Easy to work with. No Drama. Always did whatever we wanted, changes on the fly, etc. with no up charges and no complaints. I have recommended them to one of my friends and he has the same to say about them after completing his project in Lower Manhattan. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of anything from a huge commercial wine cellar, to a small wine closet. In my opinion, if you use anyone else you will be compromising your project. Hope this helps your decision making... **★ — Terry Lombardi, March 2015** > Joseph and Curtis installed my cellar 3 years ago. Since that time my refridgeration unit did not work properly even though his refrigeration technician had been to my home multiple times. It was decided that the air unit needed to be replaced and that would fix the problem. After the work was done the unit was turned on and in a matter of hours my entire basement smelled of burnt tires. Exasperated, I called another company (Washington Valley Cellars) who determined that the unit's motor had burned out due to incorrect wiring. I witnessed smoke coming from it when we turned it on again. At my own expense ($3600) I had the problem fixed and it is finally working the way it should. Joe and Curt are nice guys but it was clear they do not understand how to service clients. If I had not constantly pursued this issue it would still not be fixed today. **Comment from Joseph and Curtis Custom Wine Cellars:** > Thanks for your review..we ALWAYS look to improve our service EVEN when it turned out to be a refrigeration company that retired when the unit was installed. Sorry we couldn't make you happy we will work even harder going forward. **★★★★★ — atlas1955, March 2015** > Joseph and Curtis built 1000+ bottle wine room for us in White Oak which included wood cabinetry plus metals racks. From the design phase through final installation, the job went very smoothly. They were very helpful in counseling us in terms of the types of materials to use and also in providing us with several iterations of preliminary drawings. Having never created a white room, the drawings were quite helpful in allowing us to visualize the room, from all angles, while also ensuring that we had enough space for all of our bottles. The two gentlemen that installed the cabinetry and racks, Alex and Adner, did an exceptional job. Their carpentry work was meticulous and they were both extremely accommodative making suggestions and allowing us to make ad hoc changes as the installation moved all. All in all, we were very pleased with all aspects of the job and the final product. **★★★★★ — gschaefer75, Feb. 2015** > The customer service and communication were always above par during the whole process. As always, custom made items in NYC take much longer than expected so have patience (easier said then done). With that being said, they gave me realistic expectations on timing but it still takes even longer and nothing you can do about that! Worth the wait and they did not rush through it just to finish. **★★★★★ — msh07930, Feb. 2015** > Price, Service & Results. These are the keys to running a successful business. Joseph & Curtis have mastered all three in crafting an amazing 2,000 bottle +/- wine cell at my Chester, NJ home. From the initial meeting thru the design and construction phases, the Joseph & Curtis team's professionalism and experience are the cornerstone of delivering superior results at the price promised. My wife and I would recommend them without hesitation for your home wine cellar project. . **★★★★ — billydt73, Feb. 2015** > Curt did a fantastic job building a wine closet for us. It really looks amazing in our new home. I'm glad we used them! **★★★★★ — Eileen Interior Design, Jan. 2015** > We are so happy with our new wine room. We hired Joseph and Curtis because of their knowledge and professionalism. I highly recommend them. They came and looked at our space and provided advice on where to locate the wine room and what size we could have within the space. Once I decided they returned to my home to take measurements. They put together a plan. The have done everything they said they were going to do. Everything looks amazing. They are very easy to work with. **★★★★★ — edgars, Dec. 2014** > Joseph and Curtis designed, built and installed an unusual wine wall/cellar holding 600+ bottles in my apartment. They were extremely professional, knowledgable and creative, from the initial meeting to discuss the idea, through the construction and final completion. > The project was completed on time and on budget, even though it was somewhat unconventional. Joseph and Curtis made valuable and thoughtful suggestions to tailor the project as close to my vision as possible. > I am extremely pleased with the final product and would highly recommend Joseph and Curtis. **★★★★★ — lakecomonj, Dec. 2014** > Joseph and Curtis did an outstanding job on our cellar.The process was smooth and the workers were skilled and conscientious.Michael Martin was always responsive to any questions or issues that a rose.It is a beautiful addition to our home. **★★★★★ — rusty0211, Dec. 2014** > -Highly Recommended > > I had the pleasure of working with Joe and Curt in 2012 while I was renovating my store. > They designed and built out the wine shelving for my entire wine department. > From start to finish they were consummate professionals. > I receive compliments all the time from customers about the look and feel of the store.

The craftsmanship was meticulous, and Joe was able to match the wood stain to that used in the nearby bar cabinetry. The final product is amazing and a work of art. Their subs were professional and courteous, and Joe interfaced well with my GC (who was in charge of the larger basement project of which this was one piece). Although there were a few construction challenges along the way, Joe and his team calmly and creatively overcame them. Finally, Joe was great to consult with about getting the cellar filled with good-quality wines at a fair price point. **★★★★★ — projectbklyn, Oct. 2014** > I worked directly with Curtis for the design and installation of my home wine cellar. He and his team did a tremendous job. I am not a visual person so I sometimes had a difficult time describing exactly what I wanted. That didn't prove to be an issue for Curtis. He was all over the design from the start and he delivered exactly what my wife and I were hoping for. I can't emphasize enough how happy I am with the finished project. **★★★★★ — cc1764, Oct. 2014** > We can't say enough about how happy we are with our Joseph & Curtis Cellar! From the first meeting with Curt, he and his team took our thoughts about what we wanted and combined it with their expertise to create the perfect cellar for us. They made it happen on time and on budget with a sharp attention to detail. They did a great job combining stonework and wrought iron with their custom racks and tied it all together with the floor and lighting that their team picked out. Without their knowledge and experience, we would've never thought of a lot of the design features we ended up with. > > They were honest, upfront and delivered what they promised. Each member of their team was a pleasure to deal with and have working in our home. We would highly recommend Joseph & Curtis to anyone looking to built a unique, functional & beautiful wine cellar in their home! **★★★★★ — tjc926, Oct. 2014** > From design to build, this group is as good as it gets. They listened to our needs and wants and fulfilled both. On top of great quality, they were spot on with their price projection---a rarity in this business. I recommend them highly. **★★★★ — aroseng1, Sept. 2014** > Curtis and Joseph are both excellent professionals, easygoing, helpful and good to work with. I had a very good experience, and am extremely happy with my wine cellar. Their subcontractor who did the glass work is excellent as well. They recommended paint color, which turned out to be perfect. When the rest of that level is completed i will be pleased to submit pictures. **★★★★★ — John Leitch, Sept. 2014** > We hired Joseph and Curtis to design and build a full wine cellar in our basement this past Spring (2014). Curtis and his team were true professionals in every sense of the word. From the design process all the way through completion of the cellar, Curt's communication and ability to meet deadlines was outstanding. Curt made several design suggestions that turned out to really define the way our cellar took shape. These guys took care of everything, we could not be happier with the job they did in building our cellar. We would recommend they without any reservations to anybody considering using them for their cellars. **★★★★★ — adamack7, Aug. 2014** > Joseph & Curtis did a fantastic job on our wine cellar. We are very happy with how it came out and strongly recommend them. > > Curt walked us through the design process and really listened to our input - helping us to select the best location & design and customizing things to our taste. We were very happy with the final design and pricing. Curt and all the contractors who worked on the cellar were very professional. The project was seamless, was completed quickly and it looks absolutely fantastic. **★★★★★ — levike2, Aug. 2014** > Joseph and Curtis installed a wine cellar in our new home and we're thrilled with the results - they incorporated our wish list into an overall design that worked well, was within our budget, and turned out beautifully. The racks themselves are custom and really well made. Their workers were extremely professional and there was excellent communication throughout the project. **★★★★★ — coopnj, July 2014** > I could not be more impressed with the custom wine cellar that Joseph and Curtis built for my home. I found them via an internet search and they were the first hit that came up...and after I watched a few videos on their website and saw their work I knew they were the company for me. > > I sent an email inquiry and had a call back from them within 10 minutes, they visited my home within two days and the next thing you know they started work on the project! I had a design in mind and they made suggested alterations along the way to maximize the cellar space as well as to enhance the design. > > The company was easy to deal with on negotiations and unlike 99% of all contractors, they delivered prior to my deadline. Despite some challenges along the way they never asked for a nickel more than the agreed amount and they've been very responsive to my follow-up phone calls. > > People often say when dealing with a contractor that "in the end the results were worth it." Well, in this situation the entire process was smooth, delivered on time and we could not be more pleased with our beautiful wine cellar! **★★★★★ — debmarriott, July 2014** > Joseph & Curtis installed a wine room for us. They did an amazing job. They drew up some fantastic plans. We had a room that was already finished off and had some unique qualities to it. The room had some angles as well as different levels to the ceiling. Joseph & Curtis did a great job drawing up a plan that incorporated the unique aspects of the room. They did a wonderful job with the construction aspect of their work. The built very attractive wine racks and cabinetry and did a wonderful job with the electrical portion by added some accent lighting that really showed off our wine collection and the room itself. > Joseph & Curtis was very easy to work with. They really saw everything through start to finish and had a very "hands on" approach communicating regularly as to what was going on or needed to be done. They were also very helpful with recommendations for tile, light fixtures etc. Joseph & Curtis are very professional contractors who want to create the prefect wine room or cellar for their clients based upon their personal requirements. **★★★★★ — Creative Designs by Sofia, June 2014** > Joseph and Curtis were referred to me thru an architectural firm. I am a designer and I had never built a full wine cabinet in a NYC apartment. So this was a first for me and hopefully many more will follow. My experience with Joseph and Curtis was an exceptionally pleasant experience. They built a beautiful double sided glass unit that not only holds over 450 bottles of wine but can house hundreds of cigars in the humidor cabinet which was built adjacent to the unit. They listened to all my clients needs and they delivered a beautiful finished product. A must have in all my design projects that have a love for the fine wines. **★★★★★ — don54, June 2014** > I am very pleased with design, fabrication and installation of my wine cellar. They were very knowledgable, professional, and extremely responsive. Price was competitive and quality excellent. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied. Job also completed ahead if schedule. **★★★★★ — mbjanke, May 2014** > We worked with Curt on our wine closet and he was fantastic. We changed our minds three times as to the space we wanted the project done in and the timing of when we wanted it done. Curt was very patient, really listened to what we were looking to build, and made spot-on recommendations. What impressed us most was that Curt was in communication with us throughout the process - from initial appointment to design phase to every step of the building phase. Of course, we can't not mention that he has a great sense of humor which made working with him and his guys even easier. As a final note, every person that worked on our wine closet (and it is a converted closet) was friendly, professional to the level of craftsman, and extremely considerate of our home, never leaving anything behind for us to clean up. **★★★★★ — garylbeck, March 2014** > I'm extremely pleased with the work performed by Joseph and Curtis. They were professional and the quality of their work was superb. In particular, Joe was a pleasure to work with. He was the consummate professional, and really took time to understand my needs and delivered. My wine cellar is not overly large but Joe design allow me to maximize the space, making it feel much bigger and it's beautiful to look at. I look forward to many years of enjoyment with my new space. I would work with Joe again on future projects and highly recommend this firm as a wine cellar consultant and specialists. **★★★★★ — andrewzachys, March 2014** > As a wine retailer we have less of a need for a wine cellar, as our entire 40,000 sf refrigerated warehouse is our "Wine Cellar". > > We do, however, have many collectors....both large and small...who have worked with Joseph & Curtis and given us nothing but the best feedback!! > > We have been so impressed with the positive impact they have had working with our clients that we are even considering having them re-design some interior parts of the store. > > Zachys has built it's brand over the last 70 years by delivering a premium wine experience with customer service being the MOST important aspect of the transaction. We are proud to be aligned with Joseph & Curtis as we feel they emulate the same model. **★★★★★ — Kris Chislett, Feb. 2014** > Joseph and Curtis did an AWESOME job building my wine cellar. They kept the project on schedule and within my budget. I would recommend them to anyone looking to build a stunning wine cellar. **★★★★★ — dflkel, Feb. 2014** > Joseph & Curtis just complete my wine cellar project at my weekend home in upstate NY. They did a fantastic job! They designed the cellar with my input and did the full job from demo to finish work. Joe was very good to work with and was priced very competitively given their high end work. They also completed the project on a very rushed time frame and actually finished early despite a few delays on MY part. I would very highly recommend J&C to any homeowner looking to add a high quality wine cellar to their home! **★★★★★ — ALL PRO DESIGN INC, Jan. 2014** > As a contractor I found Joseph and Curtis Wine Racks a pleasure to work with. They are very professional and produce a great product. **★★★★★ — Italian Wine Merchants, Dec. 2013** > I cannot say enough positive things about these guys. For more than seven years Italian Wine Merchants (IWM) has worked closely with Joseph and Curtis referring aspiring enthusiasts to some of the most established collectors in the country. As one of the top merchants and advisors in the fine and collectible wine market, our reputation is on the line when we make recommendation, so when we send someone into our client's home, their private space with something as personal as a wine cellar, the key words we need to hear back are trust, comfort, creativity, and professionalism – that is what they deliver. There is the design aspect of what that these guys do – and they have done everything from a simple and simple modern 500 bottle wine cellar to an ornate and detailed traditional 5,000 bottle cellar for IWM clients, but more importantly it is the service and care they provide. The cellar is not just about aesthetics but functionality and maintaining the integrity of the wine - they stress this and understand it. Too often there is neglect in this area, but with hundreds of cellars behind them they do not miss the details. What is truly amazing is how many repeat customer they have and how they continue and maintain their relationships and friendships with their long list of happy cellar owners. > > Chris Deas > Vice President, Italian Wine Merchants **★★★★★ — Dan Binder, Nov. 2013** > Joseph and Curtis recently designed and built racks for my wine cellar. One could not ask for a better level of advice, skill and service. The suggestions were dead on, the quality of work was excellent and the project was completed quickly and ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend them to friends, family and anyone considering a wine cellar project. > > A very satisfied customer, > Dan Binder **★★★★★ — sandrzej, Nov. 2013** > I used Joseph and Curtis to design and build my wine cellar. They provided expert advice on how to install the right equipment to easily protect your wine in the right storage conditions. At the same time, they provided numerous design options that could fit the style of your room and your home. **★★★★★ — nsergio, Nov. 2013** > Joseph and Curtis built my beautiful 950 bottle California Redwood cellar. The entrance to the cellar is a Mahogany door with glass and black wrought Iron that allows my guests to peer into the dimly lit cellar as we enjoy our wines from the sitting area in front (lighting is controlled by 2 dimmer switches). The space J and C had to work with was somewhat constrained since they had to work with the 3 existing foundational walls and ceiling soffits but J and C designed around these challenges and even managed to include a humidor for my cigars. **★★★★★ — bagugliaro001, Nov. 2013** > Joseph and Curtis have not only done great work in designing and building an awesome wine cellar for my home but they are the kind of guys that truly care about customer satisfaction and continue to keep in touch long after the project was completed. They are trustworthy people that are men of their word. **★★★★ — jkaralis, Nov. 2013** > The crew installing the wine cellar were great .They were very knowlegable and professional in the installation process. The wine cellar looks great all my friends and family are impressed . **★★★★★ — woody17620, Oct. 2013** > Joseph and Curtis designed and built a wine cellar to fit into our available 12 x 14-foot space, from floor to a high ceiling, in our new condo in 2010. The racks can hold about 1,200 bottles. They exclusively used California redwood. The finished result is gorgeous and is the envy of all our visitors. There have been zero problems with the racks. **★★★★★ — jcffilho, Oct. 2013** > Excellent job! > Joseph and Curtis have built two of our stores and I highly recommend them.

They started with a great design incorporating the needs of my collection. They worked with my builder to properly set up the room. Everything was custom built including the type of wood for the racking and the finish. The workmanship was top notch. We had an issue with our cooling system after install and it was immediately addressed. The wine room looks great and everyone was a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — sbones, Sept. 2013** > There's a ton of wine lovers in the Chicago area and I'm one of them. My wife and I decided to hire Joseph & Curtis for a 500 bottle cellar and they did not disappoint, from start to finish.

No BS guys that are creative and easy to work with. **★★★★★ — coolgirl59, Sept. 2013** > Joseph & Curtis offered exceptional service with their product & professionalism.

Chicago, Illinois **★★★★★ — casale4455, Sept. 2013** > Joseph & Curtis installed a custom wine cellar in my basement about 8 months ago and let me tell you, it looks fantastic. It is now the focal point of my house and whenever we have company, the first thing I do is bring them into the basement so they can see the stunning beauty of what Joseph & Curtis created. I was not sure what I wanted at first, but with Curt & Joe's knowledge and expertise, we worked together to build the perfect wine cellar for my home. They were a pleasure to work with and anytime I had a question they were both always available at a moments notice. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to work with these two gentleman. I can tell you that if you were looking to build a custom wine cellar and did not hire Joseph & Curtis, you would be crazy. The care that was taken with even the smallest of details was incredible. Not only was the work beautiful, it was done in no time at all and there was never a mess left behind after the install was complete. Again, I consider myself lucky to have made the choice to use Joseph & Curtis for this cellar, I just hope anyone else reading this does the same. Trust me, you won't regret it!!! **★★★★★ — Bill Brenton, Sept. 2013** > Joe and his team did an outstanding job creating my wine cellar. From design to completion, he managed the project expertly. The woodwork/craftsmanship is beautiful. The design is excellent and extremely functional. The cooling system is spot-on, keeping the room at a perfect temperature. Joe is a professional and worked with me until I was entirely satisfied. I highly recommend Joe and his team. **★★★★★ — Joe Santagata, Sept. 2013** > I interviewed 3 companies to build the wine cellar of my dreams on the first floor of a custom home I was building . After speaking with Joe and Curtis who personally walked me through and put together the perfect design I chose them to build my cellar . The time they took with me and the personal touch could not be matched by any other company . I had a concern that the price for such personal impeccable service would be out of my budget. To my surprise they came in priced better with a much better product ! My cellar was installed seamlessly , I dealt with many contractors building my 9000 sf custom home and these guys were by far the best to deal with! After 3 years the cooling units run perfectly and the cellar is the envy of all guests that come to our home ! Hats off to these guys for having so much passion for what they do , it truly shows in the final product! **★★★★★ — bhallinan, Aug. 2013** > Excellent work. Joseph and Curtis built the custom racking for my basement cellar in New York. Approximately 2,000 bottles. Great design and craftsmanship. I would highly recommend them **★★★★★ — mcbe, Aug. 2013** > Excellent, professional, fair pricing and honest. They did a great job and the wine cellar/tasting room is one for the ages. I have received nothing but compliments. I have reccomebded them to several friends. Definitely hire them. **★★★★★ — cobalde, April 2013** > J&C recently completed a wine cellar installation in our basement, and they did a magnificent job. Curt was very responsive from the outset, even coming out on a weekend when it was more convenient for me. > > All of the design work and construction was extremely professional. Everyone that Joe and Curt used on the project were top class. The tile installer was willing to come out to the house from Pennsylvania on 1 hour's notice on a Saturday to finish the job after a mix-up with our tile order resulted in a delay. We had the painter come back and paint a second room for us. And even with the delay in tile delivery, Joe and Curt were able to meet our deadline for getting the room finished before a big family party. > > We are extremely happy with how the cellar turned out. We were involved with many of the design aspects, but felt extremely comfortable with letting Curt have the freedom to make final decisions over rack structure and the granite counter top that we had installed. A quick look at the work they have done in the past was enough to see that they are very experienced in this business, and that experience came through on our project. > > If we ever have a desire to install a second wine room in our house, Joe and Curt will be our first, and only, call. **★★★★★ — peppermint52, Feb. 2013** > Joseph and Curtis professionally designed a custom wine cellar for my home. It is absolutely stunning, and fits our area perfectly. I had two other wine cellar companies design a cellar for me too; however, their designs were inferior to Joseph and Curtis, as well as more expensive than the much nicer cellar I got from Joseph and Curtis. I found them easy to work and communicate with. Truely a cellar of distinction and one of which I am very proud. Thank you Joseph and Curtis for providig me this special cellar for our home. We are enjoying it so much. **★★★★★ — emmaryan, Feb. 2013** > We hired Joseph&Curtis to install a wine cellar in our existing finished basement.
