"They did a great job. Out of the 8 years living in my house and needing contractors they have been the best. If I need work done in the future I will surely request them. They did an outstanding job. I am so pleased with my new kitchen cabinets and counter tops. They also replaced carpet in my daughters room to wood floors and the room looks amazing. And my bathroom after 8 years finally has the walls painted and it looks very nice. I highly recommend them if you need work done."

Their pricing is very fair and they are transparent throughout the process-- I never feel like I am being upsold on something I don't need, and even when unexpected issues come up during repair they are always willing to work with me on my budget. I especially appreciate how responsive Noelia is over the phone, I always feel like I can text or call her if I have questions or need help with deciding between finishes.

Pre-made bars cost $1,200 to $6,500, while custom bars range from $2,000 to $22,500, depending on features. For basic needs, pre-fabricated options are more economical and offer quicker installation. Custom bars cost more but provide exact specifications and potentially higher quality. The simplest and most affordable options are freestanding bar cabinets and bar carts.
A good basement bar size depends on your available space and entertaining needs. Most residential bars range from six to 12 feet in length. Standard bar height is 42 inches, while counter-height bars (36 inches) are more family-friendly. Allow 24 to 30 inches of width per person for comfortable seating and at least 36 to 42 inches of clearance behind the bar for movement. For entertaining, an eight to 10-foot bar comfortably seats three to four people.
Permit requirements vary by location, but generally include building permits for structural changes, plumbing permits for wet bars, and electrical permits for new circuits or significant wiring work. Some municipalities also require inspections during and after construction. Check with your local building department before starting your project, as skipping required permits can lead to complications when selling your home and may void insurance coverage if issues arise later.
