Common Questions

Custom Home Bars FAQ — Wheaton

What bar top materials are best for a Wheaton home bar?
Quartz is the most popular bar top choice in Wheaton for its durability and low maintenance. Butcher block adds warmth and pairs well with bar environments. Marble and granite are excellent for homeowners who prefer natural stone variation. Bayern Builders helps clients select materials that balance aesthetics, durability, and budget.
How do you integrate a home bar with a home theater or recreation room?
Bayern Builders designs home bars that work within the larger entertainment space — whether that means a pass-through bar between a theater room and a game room or a standalone bar that faces the entertainment wall. The integration is planned from the beginning, not added as an afterthought.
Do I need a permit for a home bar in Wheaton?
Wet bar installations that include plumbing typically require a permit from the City of Wheaton Building Division. 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.
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.
