Custom Wine Cellars, Saunas, and Home Renovations
For Scottsdale and Surrounding Areas
Crafted Once, Never Duplicated
Wine cellars you boast proudly. Saunas you don't want to leave. Rooms that make the whole house feel like it was finally finished right. We've never built the same thing twice, and we're not about to start with yours.
THREE. DIVISIONS. EQUAL COMMITMENT
Different rooms. Same Standard
wINE cELLARS
Most wine rooms look great empty but fall apart the moment you use one. We handcraft ours to last. The racking is lit so you can read a label from the doorway, the cooling tucked away out of sight. A showpiece that ages as well as the wine.
sAUNAS
A sauna lives or dies on the bench and the heat. Get those wrong and nothing else matters. We design around how people actually sit and move, with wood hand-picked to take years of heat without warping. You walk in tired, the day waits outside.
cONSTRUCTION
Remodels tend to feel like afterthoughts, not because they are, but because of the gap between trades all working to a slightly different beat. We keep the whole build under one roof and one standard. The result fits how you live, like it was always there.
The Work
We don't have a portfolio of the same room in different houses. Every space here started as a blank page, because every house and every owner did too.
The difference between a good build and a great one comes down to details most people never see.
The difference between a space that's nice and a space that's right is the things you'd never notice unless they were wrong. We see the same misses on jobs we get called in to fix.
A cellar where the cooling unit ended up the focal point of the room, because it got dealt with last instead of first. A sauna with a bench at the wrong height, so you perch instead of settle. A kitchen that photographs well and fights you every time you actually cook in it. Most of it comes down to decisions nobody thought about early enough.
✓ Wine labels you can read from across the room, so finding a bottle isn't a hunt.
✓ Cooling built into the cabinetry, so a cellar feels like a room, not a refrigerator.
✓ A sauna bench set where your body actually wants it, so you relax instead of adjusting.
✓ Lighting oriented, so the materials do the work and the fixtures all but disappear.
✓ Cabinet doors that shut with a soft, solid weight, every time.
Most people never notice these decisions when they're done right. They simply enjoy the room more because of them.

It is with pleasure to be able to recommend David James of Exquisite Custom Construction. Selling real estate for the past 18 years I have experienced the work of many companies, some good, some not so good. I have a plethora of companies I could recommend but once one finds the right fit, why go elsewhere? I feel confident recommending knowing David will do a fabulous job.

Built by us. built for you
When David moved from Switzerland to the desert, the first thing he did was make his own home truly his own. He knows what it means to live with every decision, the way you eventually will.
He builds every project with the same mindset, truly unique to each client. Nothing gets repeated, and every choice reflects your home and how you'll live in it.

We check our own work
We go through it the way you would after a month of living with it, and we fix what we find before you ever do.
Your Questions, Answered
-
It depends on the space, but we're straight about where things start: saunas around $18,000, wine rooms around $38,000, renovations at $100,000 and up. We'd rather you know that before we ever meet.
-
Every project is drawn from scratch for your home. We're not a factory turning out the same cellar and sauna over and over with a different name on it. We've never built the same thing twice, which means yours won't look like your neighbor's, and that's part of what you're paying for.
-
David, and the team under him. The people who design your space are the people who build it.
-
Longer than a company doing the same thing fifty times a month — that's the point. You'll get a real timeline once we've seen the space, not a number we made up to win the job.
-
Yes, under one roof and one license. A wine room now and a kitchen next year is the same team both times.
-
Yes. Once we've talked through your project, we'll connect you with clients who've built something similar. People who've lived with the work long enough to tell you how it actually held up. The designers and realtors who refer us are usually glad to talk too.
Tell us what you're thinking about building.
We'll come look at the space, talk through what's possible, and give you an honest picture of what it takes. No pressure, no obligation, no salesperson. Just the people who'd be building listening to your vision.
