Elevated Process

From Concept to Completion

Step 1

Anchor to Your Goals

Our in-home or virtual consultation begins by exploring your project vision, style, and current aesthetic. We then provide expert advice on cellar or sauna placement and design a space that exceeds your expectations.

Step 2

Transparent Proposal

Our clear proposal offers a comprehensive understanding of the scope and timeline for your wine cellar or home sauna project. You’ll receive detailed designs and have the opportunity to make adjustments before moving forward.

Step 3

Expert Construction

After design approval and deposit payment, your project will be placed on the production schedule. Our skilled artisans will construct your wine cellar or sauna to precise specifications, which typically takes between 9-12 weeks. Warm Timber will communicate the timeline expectations at the time of deposit and will provide updates along the way. If you have purchased a cold plunge tub, we will work with you to ship this product to meet the needs of your project.

Step 4

Installation

When it comes to installation, you have options. The Warm Timber team, led by Managing Partner Adam Rimer, will ensure that every detail- from lighting and hardware to doors- is meticulously installed to perfection. Or, if you’d prefer to use your own contractor, we will advise and support your own team as they complete the installation.

Warm Timber is your go-to source for innovative wine cellar designs, woodworking, and sauna benefits. Our team of experts, led by John Barbour, Adam Rimer, Matt Rimer, Nikki Rimer, and Talia Nelson, ensures top-notch craftsmanship, smooth project management, and excellent customer service.
