How to pack clothes for long-term storage?

• <div><p>When storing your clothes long-term, first consider the container's breathability.

Q: What are some common features and upgrades for custom closets?

• <div><p>Some features and upgrades you can add (some of which increase the closet&rsquo;s value) are: modular shelving, motion-activated lighting, climate control, custom lighting, cigar humidors, revolving shoe racks, jewelry shelves, custom woodwork, and built-in laundry hampers. While only truly luxury closets have all of these, many custom closets have at least one special feature listed above. </p></div>

Q: What's the best wood for closet drawers?

Q: Why are custom closets so expensive?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons custom closets are expensive: materials used, the luxury factor, and time to build. The people who can afford custom closets are those who can afford increased rates, and construction workers and contractors know this and charge accordingly.

Q: Are design consultations part of the closet building process?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer design consultations to optimize space and functionality. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

We got a very prompt estimate in response to our call. Charlie and his crew showed up promptly and right on time to do the work. They did an excellent job, very neat, no paint drips, really nice work. It looks beautiful. We would call Pinnacle Painting again for certain.

"Would give 0 stats if I could! Stay away from Tim. Quoted us for a fence with 2 gates as we wanted, showed up a week later with only one because he forgot. Due to supply shortage he couldn't get another one and the one he had was cracked anyway. So here we are October when the fence was done in May, being ghosted when all we want is the money for the gates and labor costs refunded. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but now not being answered is the last straw."
