Q: Do I need a building permit for a closet?

• <div><p>You may need a building permit to add a closet, depending on the size and kind of work required to install it. The most likely scenario requiring a permit involves changing the structure of the house and performing electrical work for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bright-ideas-closet-lighting.htm">closet lighting</a>. A permit can cost between $100 and $450. If you&rsquo;re installing a smaller reach-in closet, a permit may not be required, but always check with your local municipality and consult a closet designer or builder.</p></div>

Q: How do you modernize an old-looking closet?

• <div><p>You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items. </p></div>

Q: How do you upgrade your closet on a budget?

• <div><p>There are certainly luxury upgrades you can make but you can seriously improve the look and functionality of a closet without spending much money. Color matching will make the closet seem bigger so any shelves painted the same as the wall is a good tip. While pre-made closet organizers may seem expensive they offer an aesthetic look that's hard to achieve with DIY methods. Lastly, removing clutter and unworn items will help the closet seem bigger and cleaner. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a custom closet?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid overloading shelves, and check hardware for wear to ensure longevity.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood is best for closet shelves?

• <div><p>Plywood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and solid wood are all popular options for closet shelving. Plywood and solid wood are sturdy and ideal for extended shelves or heavy items. MDF is a budget-friendly choice for light to moderate storage, but it can sag under heavy weight if not adequately supported. Wire shelving is another alternative that allows airflow, making it especially useful in humid spaces such as laundry rooms or basements.</p></div>

The texturing he did was a work of art. The whole house looks wonderful. There a few spots that look a little unfinished but those are in and around closets (probably not going to be looking at the inside of the closets much). <br />
