"I would call them again for reinstallation for other closets in my other home. Both closet designers were fantastic. Organized my closets the way I wanted them and the installer was fantastic. He did exceptional work."
"Silby's Custom Closets really came to the rescue for my older home with small, irregularly sized closets. David was a pleasure to work with and the whole process was seamless from start to finish. Prices were fair and our closets look great! Would highly recommend this business for all your closet/storage needs."
"The team at INA Kitchens was PRICELESS to us as we completely remodeled our master bathroom, bedroom and large kitchen, including our 2 closets. They guided and helped us with each and every stage of the remodeling from the designing plans all the way to pleasing and efficient executing the work in order to provide all the good suggestions, including the materials and final touches. They were always in touch with us, focused, very easy people to work with and also happy to answer any of our questions or comments. We definitely could not do it without the help, experience and guides of all the office staff, the team and mainly our project manager. We highly recommend them."
"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"
"Suzanne and Myko helped me with paint selection in my new home and remodeling a bathroom. They also helped me with the move and getting everything organized, such an incredible help! They then staged my other home that I was selling. So easy to work with, great eye for design. Couldnâ t have done all this without them."
"I bought my home as a fixer upper and A and A Construction remodeled the entire thing. This was a huge project and it was hard to find someone to trust to be able to do all of it correctly but A and A truly came through and lived up to everything I could hope for. From structural work and following protocols for the larger more complicated areas of the home, down to the smallest details and designs when it came to colors and styles for the interior, they were very hands on the whole way through and very professional, I am so thankful I found them and I LOVE my home now!"
"I had my garden and bathroom remodel done. Albert and Samuel were professional, friendly, and a delight to work with. They're responsive and reliable. I also like the subcontractors whom they used on my project. They kept me informed of everything and I appreciate their excellent work."
The differences between a built-in closet and a walk-in aren’t that different from a built-in wardrobe and a walk-in closet. It’s fairly simple—a walk-in closet is a closet you can physically enter, stand in, and walk around in. A built-in (whether wardrobe or closet) is more akin to covered shelves installed into a recess in the wall. Another big difference is walk-in closets almost always have traditional full-size doors, while built-ins either have no doors or use sliding doors.
A standard walk-in closet has dimensions of 7 feet by 10 feet at a minimum and an average of 100 square feet. Remember that the dimensions of the closet aren’t necessarily the usable space. This means that a 100-square-foot walk-in closet with shelves on each wall and an island may only have a walkable area of 50 square feet or less. Make sure you consider the effect of additions when you plan the room—mockups are a great idea.
Although you can complete a closet frame in just an afternoon, finishing the entire closet will take a few days to a week. However, that’s still not as much as the average time it takes to remodel a closet, which can take anywhere from several weeks to more than a month. That’s because you also have to consider the time it will take to demolish the existing space, plan a new design, order materials, and actually install it.
Plywood offers excellent stability and strength for drawer construction. Baltic birch plywood provides a premium appearance, while standard hardwood plywood offers good value. Solid wood works well but requires more attention to grain direction and seasonal movement.
You can design your own closet, but it’s usually better to hire a professional to do the work for you. Not only will you get years of design experience to guide you toward the right layout and material choices, but you’ll also only pay slightly more hiring a professional than you would creating your own plans and hiring a carpenter. A high-quality closet designer can provide insight into how to lay out your closet, and they may be able to find you a good deal on the carpentry or complete the work using an affordable, in-house team.
