HOUSTON, TX – August 9, 2025 – NCV Custom Wine Rooms (NCV) has unveiled a new homeowner consulting service designed for clients building custom homes with a climate-controlled wine feature managed by their general contractor or builder.
Wine rooms are complex spaces that require precise planning and execution to maintain ideal storage conditions. From thermal barriers and vapor seals to cooling system specifications and aesthetic finishes, every detail must be correctly implemented to protect valuable wine collections. When left solely to a builder unfamiliar with wine room engineering, critical details can be overlooked—leading to costly mistakes.
“People building a custom home typically engage architects and interior designers to ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned,” said Jost Lunstroth of NCV. “The wine room deserves that same level of attention. Without it, the space may look unpolished—or worse, suffer from costly functional failures. We get calls every week about wine rooms that were improperly built, and most were completed under the supervision of a homebuilder unfamiliar with proper wine room construction.”
The new NCV consulting service provides comprehensive design oversight, plan reviews, and construction inspections—available both virtually and on-site in Greater Houston and Texas Hill Country.
Preventing Common Wine Room Failures
Wine room failures are more common than many homeowners realize. Lee Kurtas of High Performance Home Systems, a Houston-based HVAC and insulation company, notes:
“We get a lot of service calls for problems with the wine room refrigeration system and frequently, the problem is the construction of the room. It's quickly obvious that multiple mistakes were made in the design and construction of the entire space so the solution is more than replacing or repairing the refrigeration system.”
A Real-World Success Story
Christopher H., a Houston attorney building a home in the Austin area, turned to NCV’s consulting services after previously working with them on a turnkey wine room:
“Jost built my wine room turn-key in Houston years ago and offered this service when I called him for my new home in the Austin area. He reviewed the work of my builder’s subs, reviewed the design plans with my decorator, and made sure the refrigeration and insulation were designed and installed correctly. He found a local HVAC company with wine room experience to install and support the system. I wanted him to do the room turn-key but it just made more sense for both of us to go with the consulting service.”
Two Paths for Homeowners
NCV now offers two distinct service models: full-service, turnkey construction or homeowner representation/consulting.
“Our two offerings—full-service construction or homeowner representation—give clients options,” said Lunstroth. “Our mission is simple: to make sure every client ends up with a wine room that is both beautifully designed and technically sound.”
