"Net Zero Design has earned my utmost admiration for their exceptional work on a recent project â a remarkable 3-bedroom addition to my Vermont home. As someone deeply committed to sustainability and energy efficiency, I couldn't be happier with the outstanding results. From the outset, Net Zero Design demonstrated a profound understanding of green building practices. The integration of WiFi-enabled Smart Lighting, Heat Pumps, Heat Pump Water Heaters, and a Standby Generator showcases their commitment to cutting-edge technology that not only enhances comfort but also minimizes environmental impact. The team's expertise in energy-efficient design is truly commendable. The WiFi-enabled Smart Lighting system not only adds a modern touch but also contributes to energy savings. The Heat Pumps and Heat Pump Water Heaters provide efficient heating and cooling, ensuring optimal comfort while significantly reducing energy consumption. The inclusion of a Standby Generator reflects their foresight and dedication to ensuring uninterrupted power supply, especially in Vermont's challenging weather conditions. This thoughtful addition adds an extra layer of reliability and peace of mind. Throughout the project, communication was excellent. The team kept me informed about the progress, and their attention to detail was evident at every stage. Despite the complexity of integrating advanced technologies, the project was completed efficiently and surpassed all expectations. Net Zero Design's ability to deliver a stunning, energy-efficient addition that seamlessly blends with the existing structure is truly remarkable. This project has not only elevated the functionality of my home but has also significantly reduced my environmental footprint.

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.
