Washington Valley Cellars

Jay and his Team completed our cellar on time and on budget. They are real professionals, very knowledgeable, and executed our plans to perfection. All of this was accomplished during a power failure (that lasted almost a week) and the COVID-19 pandemic. We are extremely satisfied with our wine cellar. Thank you Jay!

Jay and his team were excellent from start to finish... design, build, billing. I was so satisfied with the craftsmanship and service I had the team expand the job to not only complete my dream Wine Cellar, but to complete a build-out of our entire basement. This included included a bar area, a casual media room, refinished and expanded bath, additional storage area and a small home gym. Jay also introduced me to other excellent vendors which allowing me to personalize with finishing touches which made the project unique and our own.

Great working with Jay. His team was very thorough, remarkably clean and all around fantastic to work with. The craftsmanship was phenomenal and extraordinary attention to detail. Would recommend

Jay and his men did a great job on my wine room. Both the look and practicality of the space is better than I expected. They utilized every inch of space to make a 6-foot by 7-foot area hold many hundreds of bottles of wine + + +. Prior to the build out I was using two EuroCave refrigerators that advertised holding about 200 bottles each. They probably only held about 60% of that amount. I now literally have a space that swallows up everything I throw at it. I couldn't be happier with the result.

WV built a custom cellar for me. Came out beautiful! Jay is great to work with and his crew was quiet and clean. Also my cooling unit had a bad switch and stopped working but they were out and had it fixed within a day! Highly recommend these guys

I have now used Washington Valley Cellars twice over more than 10 years. Both were difficult installations in limited space and both came out beautifully. Their service has been great - both in professional design and installation and solving any problems that happen over time. I Highly recommend them

Jay and his team built our 500 bottle glass fronted wine niche, making perfect use of dead space under the stairs down to our basement. I was impressed from start to finish with their professionalism, attention to detail and overall quality of finish. I don’t think Jay’s phone went through to voicemail a single time I called him - always answered within a couple of rings and always with straight and honest communication. Incredibly happy with the finished cellar which is whisper quiet, keeps perfect temperature and looks stunning. The photos don’t do it justice.

Professional, courteous, beautiful design and functionality of wine cellar. Jay has 2 phenomenal craftsmen who did all the custom building. They were just superb. Every detail was attended to, they left our home immaculate at the end of each day and were a pleasure to interact with.

Great job reinsulating my wine cellar after it developed a mild problem. Prompt and efficient service. Should have engaged them on the original cellar construction!

When we moved from NJ to Maine, our new home needed a wine cellar for our 3,000 or so bottles, many older, many Champagnes and Burgs. I contacted WVC who had done my previous cellar, which I had for fifteen years without a problem. From the planning to the completion, WVC was easy to work with, flexible, creative (solving the need for storing beers upright as well as 120+ magnums and a large number of DMs and Imps in a limited space ), on time and on budget. Our bottles are quite happy in their new home with a solid commercial refrigeration unit quietly holding a steady 54. The double deep racking is beautiful and the display shelving for the imperials and double mags is excellent. Mr Rosen is extremely knowledgable and a delight to work with, as is his experienced crew. I would recommend WVC to anyone looking for an attractive and reliable customized cellar.

Jay and his crew built my wine room over five years ago. I love it. With radiant heat in our basement floor, it took Jay's experience and creativity to overcome this challenge. His craftsmanship is superb. He was spot on with his estimate and time frame. I would use Washington Valley Cellars again if my wife would allow me to build a second wine room!

I hired Washington Valley to replace the cooler in our wine cellar. While this was not a big job, Jay and his team treated us as if we were his most important clients. Everything was handled professionally and promptly. Communication was excellent.. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Washington Valley Cellars is awesome! They installed my beautiful wine cellar and wine closet. They were extremely easy to work with, competitively priced, and completed on time! I highly recommend them and plan to use them again myself in the future.

Jay and his team designed and built a beautiful wine cellar in our new home, that we can't wait to enjoy. He was very responsive, no surprises, on time and within budget. His two extremely talented employees Cory and Edgar where here everyday start to finish. Jay made the whole process very enjoyable and worked very well with our builder. I would certainly recommend Washington Valley Cellars to anyone looking to have a wine room built, and would certainly work with Jay again in the future.

Washington Cellars did an extreme makeover on an unused and abandoned room in our basement. The room was awkward, not level and small but Jay and his team were able to transform it into a completely different area. From the tile work to the racking, Jay and his team did excellent work with a very complicated space. Now we have a wine room that we feel great about sitting in for a glass, and would recommend Washington Cellars to anyone who needs quality work.

Jay from Washington Valley Cellars was a pleasure to work with and designed and built our dream wine cellar. It is a beautiful cellar and I highly recommend this company. A first class company with reasonable prices.

This is the 3rd wine cellar that Jay and crew from Washington Valley have built for me in the past 12 years. Not many people get to have a repeat buyer in the wine cellar business so the fact that I went to Jay on 3 different occasions should say enough. Jay is an expert and a connoisseur and the job was done as expected when expected. You cannot go wrong!

Top rate craftsmanship and customization They used quality materials Very up front and honest about costs Great customer service High quality attention to detail Was available when needed or questions to be answered

Residential Wine Cellar. Initial quotes and designs were not based on highest price point, but few options. Completed in a timely manner without compromising quality.

As most of clients, my wife and I were looking for an honest team to provide a top quality wine cellar for a reasonable price. Jay and his team were the right choice. His small team members were with him for decades for obvious reasons, great team work, superb skill set, and customer focused mindset. Jay installed a 10x12 space wine cellar (1000+ bottles) and remodeled 16x18 basement area. Though Jay tried to be thorough upfront, as any other project, unexpected and last minute changes did happen, and Jay had been very accommodating, We love our little wine cellar and the secret hide-out next to it. Thanks to Jay, Corey, Dan, Edgar, Nicole and Ben.

Jay and his team did a fabulous job! Outstanding work, service and support! We couldn't be happier and recommend them highly!!

Jay just finished building a cellar for me two weeks ago. This might be the only construction project that I experienced that finished earlier than the timeline the contractor initially promised. The total cost is also lower than what Jay promised me in the beginning. The whole process is seamless and quality is superb. I would recommend Jay to anyone who is considering building a wine cellar in a heart beat.

After a failed attempt at ordering pre fab wine racks thru the internet we found Jay Rosen through a local wine store that had used him for their own wine room. We could not have been more pleased with outcome of the project. Our project was for an 800 bottle storage room. The quality of the wood was beautiful compared to the junk we received online. We had a couple of design obstacles to work around as we had a sump pump and utility meter in the same space. Jay was very creative with the design and allowed us access to both items but did not interfere with the esthetics of the space. His pricing was very fair as we did shop around and found a wide range of costs. His workman were professional and left the space neat and tidy when finished. I cannot recommend him enough.

We hired Jay Rosen after speaking with several other contractors regarding design and price for our wine cellar project. Jay's portfolio of prior projects was impressive, his design ideas were great and his pricing was very reasonable. Jay even suggested to us that given the basement location of the cellar, we could simplify the project and save money by not installing a cooling system and with appropriate insulation we could most likely keep the cellar temperature at a reasonable level and limit temperature fluctuations. I'm happy to say that Jay was correct and the cellar stays at a perfect 58-60 degrees. Jay was flexible with design changes as we moved through the project and we were extremely pleased with the combination of his high quality hand crafted wooden racks, metal racking and beautiful stonework from his mason. His team was excellent to work with, very respectful of the house as they cleaned up after themselves and the end product turned out fantastic. High recommendation for what I thought was very reasonable pricing for high quality work and friendly service.

I called Jay Rosen to help fix a wine cellar installed by another company (Joe and Curtis). I had problems for 3 years with the refridgeration unit and I was at my wits end. Jay took on the case and sent his refrigeration man Atta who fixed in 3 hours in 1 visit that the other company could not do in 3 years. Thank you Washington Valley Cellars for bringing my cellar back from the dead.

I have worked with Jay Rosen for over 20 Years. During that time we have built many homes and many wine cellars together. He is an expert in construction, client care, scheduling and anything to do with wine. I recommend his firm highly and welcome the next opportunity to work together. Jay is a great asset to any construction project. Eric Baker

Jay and his team built a wine cellar for us and I couldn't be happier with the work they did for us. Jay is a consummate professional and did an excellent job - on time and on budget. In my view, Jay and his team are the best wine cellar specialists in the tristate area. All of our friends who have come and visited the cellar have the same reaction - Wow ! Thank you Jay.

I hired Jay Rosen and his team to construct a custom wine cellar in my basement in Far Hills, NJ. This was the second cellar Jay and his team have built for me over the last 20 years. Jay's work is top quality and his crew executes their work in a timely manner. I would recommend Washington Valley Cellars to anyone looking to build a custom wine cellar.

We have a Wine Cellar that had a leak due to faulty construction. I called Washington Valley Cellars and Jay came to my house on short notice to review the options. He was on time, courteous and a true professional. He assesed the damage and the construction and rather than have us rip everything out and re-do the wine cellar, he devised a quick solution which should mitigate our issue. (Note the solution he devised will result in us using the original contractor rather than Jay.) I have seen their work frist hand and now I've experience their customer service and I'm pleased to say it is top notch.

Washington Valley Cellars did an amazing job on our wine cellar. From the initial meeting with owner Jay Rosen to the final completion of the project, there was the highest level of quality and professionalism. Jay took our thoughts and ideas to develop a design that matched our home and personalities. Through the design process, we worked with Jay to adjust the initial plan as we honed in on what we wanted. The construction process was well planned and efficient. There was significant construction and redesign of the space, integrating the wine cellar into our current first floor layout. It required building walls, moving windows and baseboard heating as well as reconfiguring our first floor garage entrance. They implemented a rather complicated slate tile flooring design that we had developed, even understanding how the grout size would affect the whole pattern. Corey and his construction team were very respectful of our home. They were cautious of our children and dogs. They ensured that everyone remained safe while at our house and during all phases of construction. The racking system is beautiful. The unique design of the racks is what attracted us to Washington Valley Cellars. It is the highest quality of sapele mahogany wood and materials. The end product is stunning. It is everything that we imagined. We cannot speak more highly of Jay Rosen, Washington Valley Cellars and his construction team.

We highly recommend Jay Rosen and Washington Valley Cellars. In connection with a total makeover of the lower level of our home, we hired them to design and construct a wine cellar for us. Jay's design was both practical and beautiful and his quote for the work was reasonable. His crew worked well with our general contractor (who was responsible for the balance of the project) but they handled all aspects of construction of the cellar (including insulation, installation of the cooling system, racks, tile floor, granite shelving and mahogany door). Their work was done in timely fashion and with absolute professionalism. We enjoy our cellar tremendously and get compliments from all who visit our home. In short, we would use Jay again and highly recommend him.

The hurricane this past year ripped the chimney off our fireplace and ultimately led to us having to replace the entire fireplace. I had previously seen work done by Washington Valley Cellars and was very impressed. Although they are mostly known for their beautiful custom wine cellars, I knew that they did other projects also. My wife and I met with the owner, Jay Rosen, and after some lengthy discussions regarding our vision and his suggestions, we went ahead. We couldn’t be more pleased with both the result and the entire process. They totally get the concept of customer service. The workers were neat, efficient, courteous and highly skilled. At the end of the day, the house was left spotless. The tile we chose was a difficult tile to work with and the installer, Cory, lived up to his reputation of being one of the best. I thought I was a perfectionist! He even came back to hang the picture for me. Washington Valley Cellars is an easy recommendation. We’re currently planning our new kitchen addition with them. I’ve posted some before and after pictures.

My husband and I recently completed our wine cellar with Washington valley. We were looking for a space that would allow us to both display and store my modest but growing collection of wines as well as my husband's collection of craft beer. Having just embarked on my wine collecting hobby, I relied tremendously on Washington Valley's knowledge for guidance regarding design, ease of use, temperature and humidity control. Being wine collectors themselves, they did not disappoint! The end result is a beautiful, custom built cellar with a racking system system which meets all of our needs. The workers in my home were both professional and neat and easy to work with.

I would highly recommend Washington Valley Cellars, not only are they EXPERTS at what they do but kind, easy to work with and you feel very comfortable with every person that comes into your house. The quality of work is like no other. They take such care and respect for what they do.

Our project was finishing a basement into a wine cellar, tv room, game room and work out room, as well as a 1/2 bath. The work was done very well and on a timeline that made sense. The finished project is gorgeous and we are happy to show off our basement to all our friends.

Building a home comes with having to fret over every room, however our wine cellar was in very good hands from the get-go. We crafted a vision of the cellar with the team at Washington Valley Cellars and they delivered in every way. They were professional, talented and timely. Most importantly, the quality of their workmanship was top-notch. Washington Valley Cellars was designed out of their love of wine so they aren't just builders but wine collectors. They understand that a cellar should not only be a thing of beauty but a sound and safe haven to hold all of your bottled treasures. They are so passionate about wine that no job is too little or too big.

I hired Washington Valley Cellars to install a 1200 bottle wine cellar in the basement of our home. We loved the end product which was functional as well as nice looking. I have seen many jobs where the cellars look nice but when you really look at the design they are not very useable. WV designed and provided area for large format storage which was great as we had a few cases of cab and old vintage porto in large format to store. The refrigeration worked like a clock which I always monitor with an independent thermostat. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I recently had a wine cellar built by Jay Rosen of Washington Valley Cellars. I waited 20 years before embarking on this project. Although I had a small wine cellar in my basement that I built 25 years ago, I always wanted something nice on my first level, off our dining room. After researching on line, finding cellar designs that I really liked, I picked Washington Valley Cellars due to their superior knowledge of wine and general home construction, as well as their fabulous designs. The project wasn't easy building it suspended in the air 5 feet above grade. Jay assured me he could do the project and keep the temperature and humidity in the space consistent and at the proper levels. The end result was more than I had even imagined. My collection fit perfectly. The cooling unit he provided was top of the line, completely quiet, and was designed within the racking. The temperature and humidity couldn't be more perfect! Now, when guests come to visit, the first thing they want to see is my beautiful new wine cellar. Jay's team was a pleasure to work with. They were very neat and respectful of our house as they had to bring all their stuff in through my kitchen and dining room every day. They cleaned up better than my wife does, at the end of every day. I would highly recommend Jay and his crew from Washington Valley Cellars for any wine cellar projects you are contemplating big or small. They clearly shine above the rest.

Washington Valley Cellars does beautiful work. They always provide a top-notch job with high quality. They are very personable and walk you through everything from concept to finish product. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a wine cellar that will blow your mind.
