Common Questions

Custom Home Bars FAQ — Oak Brook

Do I need a permit for a home bar in Oak Brook?
Wet bar installations that include plumbing typically require a permit from the Village of Oak Brook Building Department. Electrical work for lighting and appliances may also require permits. Bayern Builders manages the full permit and inspection process for every home bar project that requires one.
Can you add wine storage to a home bar in Oak Brook?
Yes. Wine storage — from simple open bottle racks to climate-controlled wine rooms — is one of the most frequently requested additions to home bar builds in Oak Brook. Bayern Builders integrates wine storage that is properly designed for both capacity and access.
What bar appliances should I include in a home bar build?
The most useful bar appliances in Oak Brook home bar builds include a bar refrigerator or wine cooler, an ice maker, a glass rinser, and under-cabinet lighting. At the premium level, keg refrigerators, dishwasher drawers, and commercial ice makers are popular. Bayern Builders helps every client prioritize features within their budget.
How much does a custom home bar cost?
Home bar costs depend on size, whether you need plumbing for a wet bar, the cabinetry spec, and the bar top material. A dry bar in a basement corner costs less than a full wet bar with custom millwork and seating. We give written estimates after seeing the space.
Does a home bar require plumbing?
Not always. A dry bar with cabinetry, shelving, and a bar top does not need plumbing. A wet bar with a sink does. We assess your space during the consultation and tell you what is realistic based on proximity to existing drain lines.
How much space do I need for a home bar?
A functional dry bar can fit in as little as 4 to 6 linear feet. A full wet bar with seating typically needs 8 to 12 feet. We have designed bars in dedicated rooms, basement corners, under staircases, and converted closets.
Can you match the bar cabinetry to other work you did in the space?
Yes. If we built your basement or are working on other areas of the home, we design the bar cabinetry to match in style, finish, and hardware. Consistency is something we pay close attention to.
