Zaber Construction LLC is the reliable choice if you need an in-ground pool! We provide high quality work as well as incredible customer service to our customers.
"Chad was phenomenal! He communicated every step of the way what he would be doing (and it's crazy I even have to point this out, but he always showed up when he said he would), went above and beyond in lending assistance and expertise to other tradesmen on the project, kept the necessary inspections rolling, he and his crew cleaned up daily, the list goes on and on! I don't take recommendations lightly and I would most certainly put my name behind Chad's work any day of the week! We are so happy with our inground pool and will hire him again for any project without hesitation. He was a true blessing with what could have been a more stressful project!"

"Simply put, Beautiful Basements did an incredible job with transforming our vision into a reality! It all started with our initial consultation with Dan. When he presented us with a first draft of the layout, it was clear he listened to our ideas, wants, and needs. We were impressed with the level of detail he provided, including accurate blueprints, an organized and thorough bill of materials that would be used for the project, and a full cost breakdown. We greatly appreciated this transparent approach. Our project team - Jensen (our awesome project leader), Jonny, Devin, Kris, and Fred - were a great crew to complete the project. They were always willing to answer any questions we had, and always encouraged us to walk through to see how progress was coming along. They were very respectful of the working environment, being sure to clean up after each day on the project. Outside of the high level of workmanship they demonstrated during the project, they also brought the perfect blend of professional yet personable attitudes each day. It was awesome to get to know such a great team throughout the few months we worked with them. There were a number of interior design choices that felt overwhelming (e.g., flooring options, paint color themes, finishes & fixtures), but Ashley made the process painless! She was amazing to work with, and consistently went the extra mile to bring additional options to us, provide recommendations where needed, and stay in constant communication with us. The design work and overall aesthetic brought an already amazing project to the next level and furthered the â wowâ factor. Overall, we were extremely impressed with the entire team at Beautiful Basements. From bringing our vision to life through an amazing and top-quality basement product, to keeping us informed of key milestones and always being available to answer questions, it was an amazing experience working with Beautiful Basements. We highly recommend their business."

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.
