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 long does closet construction take?

• <div><p>Construction typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the complexity and customization.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a closet and a wardrobe?

• <div><p>The main difference between a closet and a wardrobe is that a closet is a separate room for general storage with its own door, and a wardrobe can be either built-in or freestanding place to store clothing. A walk-in or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-reach-closet-can-it-still-sparkle.htm">reach-in closet</a> connected to a bedroom often serves the same purpose as a wardrobe by primarily storing clothes and shoes. A built-in wardrobe often does not have doors and leaves clothes exposed to view, whereas a standalone wardrobe usually has doors.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build or buy a closet?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s less expensive to build or buy a closet depends on both the type of closet and whether or not you&rsquo;d be constructing it yourself. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-custom-closets-cost.htm">cost of custom closets</a> built by a pro ranges from $1,300 to $3,800, but you may be able to DIY it for as little as $400. By contrast, prefabricated options go as low as $200 and up to $3,000, so it&rsquo;s almost always less expensive to go this route. </p></div>

Q: What height should wire shelves be in a closet?

• <div><p>Fortunately, there are no hard and fast rules or regulations regarding the height of closet shelving. However, the typical height for a single closet shelf with a hanging bar is 70 inches from the floor. For a double-hanging system, use 84 to 85 inches from the floor for the top one and 42 inches for the lower.</p></div>

I'm a one-man operation, but I do a wide range of jobs from little fix-its to whole-room overhauls. I put a lot of care and attention to detail into my work, and I prioritize communication, timeliness, and cleanliness. I do free estimates and simple contracts that specify the work to be done and the price to be paid.
