Serving Manor and nearby communities.
An open-concept living room with no dedicated bar space is common in newer Manor builds, and most homeowners end up with a cart or a crowded counter instead. Manor Custom Cabinets builds bar cabinetry sized to the actual corner or wall you have, with storage for glassware, bottles, and small appliances built in.
Whether it's a wet bar tied into existing plumbing or a dry bar that's just cabinetry and a countertop, the build accounts for daily use, not just how it looks the day it's installed.

FAQs
Home Bar Cabinetry FAQs
How much does a custom home bar cost in Manor?
Dry bars typically run $2,500-$6,000, while wet bars with plumbing run $6,000-$14,000 or more depending on size and features.
How long does it take to build a home bar?
Most projects take 2-4 weeks for fabrication plus 1-2 days for install, longer if plumbing or electrical work is involved.
Do I need a permit for a home bar?
Only if you're adding plumbing for a sink or new electrical for a beverage fridge. Dry bar cabinetry alone usually doesn't need one.

Can a home bar be added to an existing living room without major renovation?
