Customers say: Quick response

"Mario and all his partners were exceptional. They all take pride in their work and got me excited about this big change we made to our kitchen. I wanted to coordinate with 1 contractor and Mario and his team not only did a beautiful job I with our cabinets, backsplash, and light fixture replacements, but got his partner to do additional recessed lighting and work with me to ensure it was exactly what I wanted, but his expertise made it even better than what I imagined. I also had a request to place in additional shelving in a coat closet and he and his team did NOT disappoint. Well priced, punctual, respectful, and absolute quality work. Will be hiring again for additional home projects!"

"I received multiple bids for my home repair project and decided to go with Lookswell based on their professionalism, responsiveness, and the reviews I saw here on Angie's List. They did not disappoint. Fernando was very thorough and professional for the estimate, and he explained the work they'd do clearly and concisely. The job took two days. Luis arrived promptly each day to do the work. He installed a long piece of drywall in a closet of my house that was recently gutted to make way for air conditioning ducts, and he patched a plaster hole in the same closet. He was careful to avoid the air conditioning lines running down the length of the house from the attic, which was critical. Luis also patched and sanded a plaster ceiling that was ravaged by hairline cracks after vents were installed. Both areas were painted white. When I noticed there were two unsightly gaps in the closet caused by the prior removal of baseboard, Luis quickly cut some of my old baseboard, installed it and painted it in under an hour. Fernando stopped by to inspect the job site on the second day to ensure I was satisfied, which I always appreciate. Pricing was fair, not too much, not too little. Excellent work, great customer service."

Closets questions, answered by experts

Yes, 12-inch shelves are often considered the standard closet shelf depth for storing folded clothing, shoes, and small containers. However, if you plan to store bulky items such as blankets, baskets, or cleaning supplies, you may want to go deeper. For specialized layouts, an adjustable system can give you more flexibility.

If you’re on a tight budget, the least expensive material you can buy for DIY closet shelves is chipboard, a.k.a. particle board. This inexpensive material is made from a pulp of sawdust, resin, and glue that’s pressed together under high temperature and pressure. As you can imagine, it’s not very sturdy and might buckle under your blue jean collection, so you should only use it if you’re storing very light items. 

To prevent sagging, consider both the material and the span of the shelf. Using sturdy materials such as plywood or solid wood can provide better support than particleboard. Additionally, limiting the shelf span to 36 inches or less can reduce the risk of sagging. For longer shelves, incorporating center supports or brackets can offer additional reinforcement.

Different types of closets are defined mostly by size. A few different types of closets include:

  • A reach-in closet is a smaller closet that you can stand in front of and reach everything inside it. Aside from the size, the doors and the level of drywall finish are typically the largest price factors.  

  • A walk-in closet can be anything from a small 5-by-5 feet closet that has a narrow walkway with shelves on both sides to a 100 square foot bedroom-sized closet with shelving along the walls and plenty of room to move around in.

  • A built-in wardrobe often does not have a door and leaves the clothes and other contents open to the room, whereas a closet usually has a door to separate it from the rest of the room.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
