Custom Closets
Designed around your clothes, not a standard grid.

Walk-ins and reach-ins designed around what you actually own, not a standard shelf-and-rod grid.

Most closets are built to a default: one rod, one shelf, all the way around. That works if your wardrobe happens to be one rod and one shelf. It usually is not, and the result is a closet that is half empty at the top and overflowing at the bottom.

We start with an inventory. How many long-hangs, how many double-hangs, how many folded items, how many shoes, how many bags. Then we draw the closet to those numbers, which is why our closets tend to hold noticeably more in the same square footage.

How it goes

From the first visit to the punch list.

Seven steps, in order, every time. You always know which one you are in.

Step 01

The first visit

Vincent comes out, measures the room, and looks at what you already have. If your boxes are worth keeping he will tell you so, even though refacing is the smaller job. You get a straight read on what the space can do.

Step 02

Design and drawings

We draw the room in 3D — elevations you can actually read, not a rendering with fake pendant lights. You see cabinet heights, drawer configurations, and where every filler lands before anything is ordered.

Step 03

Materials in your light

Door samples, finish samples, and hardware come to your house. Showroom lighting lies. A white that looks warm in the showroom can read grey under your north-facing window, and you should find that out now.

Step 04

A real calendar

At contract you get dates, not a range — order date, expected delivery, install week, template day, countertop install. If a supplier slips, you hear it from us in writing the day we hear it.

Questions

Custom Closets — the questions we get most.

Built-in millwork or a wall-hung track system?
Track systems are faster and cheaper and they are fine in a guest closet. Built-in millwork sits on the floor, takes real weight, looks like furniture, and does not telegraph screw holes down the wall. In a primary closet the difference is obvious the moment you open the door.
How much hanging space do I actually need?
A useful rule is one inch of rod per hanging garment for shirts and blouses, and about two inches for suits and coats. We count what you own rather than guessing, which routinely reveals people need half as much long-hang and twice as much double-hang as they assumed.
Is a closet island worth the space?
In a walk-in wider than about ten feet, yes — it adds drawer storage and a folding surface without touching your hanging. Below that width it makes the closet harder to move through and you are better off with a deeper drawer bank on a wall.
