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!

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

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!

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!

Thanks Mike it was an absolute pleasure...we so appreciate your business and review! Cheers my man
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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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…..

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!

Thank you David...so does your house BTW :) All the best and ty for your business
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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!!

Thank you very much Michael...your cellar is gorgeous and we really appreciate your business!
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!

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!!

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.

Thank you Mina...wish you guys all the best and cheers!
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!

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.

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.

Joseph and Curtis were absolutely great to work with. 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.

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.

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.

They built a wine room in our unused cedar closet. We absolutely love it. They were easy to work with and any outside vendors they use were also fantastic.

We had a great experience working with Curt and his team for the design and installation of our wine cellar in Morristown, NJ. Curt took our ideas and designed a cellar that was even better than our expectations. The quality of construction and materials was excellent and his the installation team was very professional.
I highly recommend Joseph and Curtis if you are looking to build a wine cellar.

Technically i’d give them 4.7 stars. 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.

Joe and his team did such a wonderful job with my new custom wine cellar. Their creation has become the focal point for my newly-renovated loft. I've been getting tons of compliments on it -- from the shelves to the glass to the lighting. Everything came out even better than I had imagined. And, to top it off, they are wonderfully responsive -- they even stopped by to speak to me when I had questions about some of the new functions.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Curt on the design and build out of my wine cellar. 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. Everybody that entered my home from J&C had one goal : build a beautiful wine cellar. If you are looking to build a wine cellar these are your guys!

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.

We recently finished our basement complete with an amazing 800 bottle wine cellar and tasting area. After interviewing a number of custom wine cellar builders we selected Joseph and Curtis because of their professionalism, experience, scope of work, plus ability and desire to translate what we envisioned to reality. Joseph worked directly with us in the design stage including the selection of materials and his input was priceless in that we ended up with exactly what we had in mind and more! Everyone on the J & C team was pleasant, efficient, tidy and professional while in our home. J & C not only delivered a beautifully finished product along with great customer service but they did it within the anticipated timeline and budget. We’re completely satisfied with Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars and recommend them highly! Stone NJ – September 2018.

We were extremely pleased with our experience and result working with the Joseph and Curtis team. Our project manager, Mike Martin, was extremely professional and ensured that the project was done as we envisioned and within the desired timeframe and costs.
What is now our beautiful wine cellar started out as just an empty area in our basement. Mike helped us with some initial design ideas and we added our own ideas to help him complete the final design.
The entire process from start to finish took about 10-12 weeks elapsed time.
Joseph and Curtis provided all of the workers and materials to complete the entire project and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. We would recommend Joseph and Curtis and especially Mike Martin to anyone serious about adding a true professionally-done cellar.

We moved downtown in NYC and wanted to have a special wine cellar for our collection. Joseph and Curtis reconverted an existing full bathroom into a stunning wine room with custom acrylic wine racks, lower case bins in espresso wood and superb LED lightning installation.
All done in time and within budget, no surprises, no problems, and a very satisfied and happy client. By far the most beautiful "room" at home now.

Cellar Stewards
Sure, the wine cellar serves a necessary safe house to protect an investment, but it also serves as a sacred space that provides that few minutes of solace for an aspiring or established collector to unwind from everyday work life. 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. Nothing is more gratifying than a well organized and expertly crafted cellar from Joseph & Curtis.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
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.

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.

I receive compliments all the time from customers about the look and feel of the store. Joe and Curt played a big role in that.
In January of 2015 I am teaming up with them again to build my temperature controlled wine room located in the rear of my store. Looking forward to it.

Joe from J&C designed a modern glassed-in reach-in wine cellar that improved on my vision by combining both wood and metal racks and then delivered a final space that exceeded my expectations! 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
