"We were really impressed with the team and the building process. It was so smooth, and we didn't have to oversee every little detail. From the initial quote, contract, permits, and HOA approval to the installation and inspection, everything was well-coordinated and communicated. The cost was competitive, and we received five quotes. Nick was the first contractor to give us an official in-person quote. He took the time to walk through our property, identified a few possible challenges in our project, and made sure to note them so the team could ensure a high-quality installation. During the inspection, the city building inspector was really impressed with the workmanship. He mentioned that the company had built the deck above and beyond the required standards. Another reviewer mentioned that "Foremost is the builder to work with for a low-stress, high-quality build." We definitely agree - you won't regret working with them."

"Seems like Colton had his friends write his reviews. Probably should stick to decks. We had his company build us a garage. Electrician completely messed up our project. Colton was no where to be found during the project except when it came to collecting a check. No accountability. Anyone thinking of hiring this company, think again. Just awful. Over orders product, does not follow customers instructions. Quotes low to get the job. Quoted us $43,000 and we endeded up paying $52,000 because Colton doesnt know city codes. We have a cracked driveway from a poor cement pour and no slope on our garage floor, water just pools. That will be fun in winter. Plus the job took much longer than quoted. Part from waiting for xcel to move a power wire but beyond that it was still weeks longer than needed to be. Garage walls have over 100 nails that missed their mark. Also used much longer than needed nails. So everywhere there are nails poking out. Colton asked if we were ok that he installed our service door a foot over the garage floor because of flooding. I said yes assuming he would install a step if that was the case. Nope! We literally have to climb in and out of our service door. Over all just a poor job. He may build a good deck but should never do anything more than that."

While building a wine cellar requires a significant investment, it can increase your home's resale value over time. Although you might not see an immediate return, the long-term ROI benefits can be substantial. Because they're often built in areas that would otherwise be unused, wine caves can add to your home's resale value. Storing a bottle of wine in a controlled environment for five years can increase its value. Once you build the space, you can strategically buy an increasing number of vintages as an investment that pays off down the road.
A wine cellar doesn't need to be underground; you can build it in any suitable area of your home. An above-ground cellar offers easy access and integration with your living spaces, while an underground cellar provides stable climate conditions and energy efficiency. Proper insulation and climate control ensure your wine maintains optimal conditions in any location.
Yes, wine cellars need ventilation to ensure optimal air circulation and precise climate control. A proper system regulates temperature and humidity, preserving your wine collection's quality. Good ventilation prevents air stagnation and moisture buildup, keeping your wine in ideal conditions. Without adequate airflow, mold and mildew can develop, potentially damaging labels and corks. Ventilation systems also help eliminate hot spots that could prematurely age your wines.
Yes, any home can have a wine cellar installed if the space is properly prepared. A dedicated area with a solid foundation, proper insulation, and reliable climate control—whether in a basement, walk-in closet, or converted crawl space—can support a wine cellar. This flexibility allows you to enjoy optimal wine storage in any type of home.
