A home bar only works if the storage actually fits how you entertain. Boerne Custom Cabinets builds bar cabinetry sized for your glassware, bottles, and ice setup rather than forcing a stock unit into a game room or patio corner. This is a common add-on in larger Hill Country homes around Boerne built for entertaining.

We handle the cabinetry and countertop coordination; any new plumbing or electrical for a sink, ice maker, or beverage fridge gets scheduled with a licensed trade separately so the whole build stays code-correct.

What's included

What's Included with Home Bar Cabinetry

Typically included: design consult, cabinet construction, countertop fitting, hardware install, glass and open shelving for display.

Optional: wine rack inserts, accent lighting, beverage fridge cutout, matching trim to adjacent rooms.

Customer prep: decide if you want a sink or fridge built in (affects plumbing/electrical scheduling), have a rough idea of bottle/glassware storage needs, clear the install area before our crew arrives.

FAQs

Home Bar Cabinetry FAQs

How much does custom home bar cabinetry cost in Boerne?

Cost depends on size and whether you're adding plumbing or electrical for a sink or fridge. A simple open-shelf bar costs less than a full wet bar setup. We give you a written range after the design consult.

How long does it take to build a home bar?

Most projects run 3 to 4 weeks in the shop after design approval, with install taking 1 to 2 days.

Do I need a permit for home bar cabinetry?

Cabinetry alone usually doesn't need a permit. Adding a sink, ice maker, or beverage fridge with new plumbing or electrical lines typically does.

Is DIY home bar cabinetry a good idea?

It's fine for a simple open-shelf setup. Anything involving a sink or appliance cutout benefits from a built-to-fit cabinet coordinated with the trade doing the plumbing or electrical.

Can you include a wine rack in the design?

Wine rack inserts are a common addition we build into the cabinetry at the proper storage angle.

What finish holds up best near a bar sink?

A sealed hardwood or moisture-resistant panel with a protective topcoat holds up best against spills and ice melt.

Can you match the bar cabinetry to my kitchen cabinets?

We can match stain, door style, and hardware to tie the bar into your kitchen or adjacent room.
