ZipCo Environmental Services, Inc. began its eminent career as a restaurant service company in the late 1970s, servicing and installing refrigeration systems. Some of the “Renaissance restaurant” owners already had private wine collections or restaurant collections that were not being stored properly. We were brought in to solve their wine storage problems.
The first major project dealing with wine storage was in 1982, with the installation of the wine cellar at Deja Vu. After this cellar, we continued to design and install wine storage systems for an increasing number of residences and restaurants until, in 1990, the design and installation of wine storage systems became the mainstay of ZipCo Environmental Services, Inc.
In recent years, ZipCo has completed over 200 major wine storage projects per year in private homes, restaurants, and businesses. The average cellar is approximately 10' x 10' and holds 1,500 bottles. We design systems to fit any size room or closet, complete with woodworkers, masons, and other craftspeople to provide custom finishes.
ZipCo has done work for wholesale wine companies, designing or consulting on wine storage conditions for warehousing wine. We also work with mechanical engineers, architects, and national catalog companies, locally and nationally, designing cellars for resale. Our broad reputation has enabled us to create exciting and unusual projects nationwide. You have seen our work in the national press and on television.
ZipCo has also been involved in the cannabis industry, applying our specialized knowledge of temperature and humidity control to design and build the spaces needed for cultivation. We have worked with numerous grow operations in Colorado, California, and Pennsylvania. ZipCo has also assembled a group of people that specializes in securing grow or dispensary licenses, with expertise in lighting, environmental controls, pharmaceutical design, and water and power consumption control design.
