"Lindoberto and his team did a wonderful job with our recent bathroom remodel. They did a full gut and remodel including removing floor to ceiling tiling and installing a new bathtub. Everyone that came to our house was polite and timely. We had a couple of concerns with the tub draining at first but Lindo was very prompt and responsive in sending the plumber back out and the issue was quickly resolved. Would definitely hire them again :)"

"Cabinet Cures was the absolute best company to redo my cabinets! I checked with other companies that do similar work, but cabinet cures is all about quality. I chose white cabinets. Other companies use a thermofoil product that can peel or melt off, but Cabinet Cures uses the same process as new white wood cabinets. When covering the face of the inside of cabinets, they us 1/4 inch of wood covering, not a thin, cheap veneer that can peel off. The end result is virtually brand new cabinets in 5 days instead of having to gut the whole kitchen taking 3 months and costing 3-4 times as much!!!! The installers were so professional, dependable and respectful. They cleaned up after each day, and there was little disruption to my home. The company answered questions and responded quickly to any issues or concerns. Every day that I see my beautiful kitchen, I know I made the right choice and used the absolute best company there is!!! It came out perfect and I could not be happier!!!! Thank you Cabinet Cures for such a beautiful, time saving, cost containing solution to making my kitchen so awesome!"

"Chris and his team did an excellent job painting my wood kitchen cabinets to white last year. They look fresh out of a store! After that positive experience, I recently hired LoConte painting to paint interior walls and ceilings throughout my home, and I am very pleased with the quality and efficiency of the work. Chris is helpful, delivers on time and cares about the details."

"Great. Larry listen to what I wanted. Made some suggestions and we went from there. He was very professional and also very detailed He took his time and did the job right. Some of the staid were cracked and all were very noisy. Larry promised they would be very quiet when done. He kept that promise. The stairs are beautiful and very quiet. We highly recommend him and will use him again."

Building a custom closet costs about $2,000, on average. Because many types, sizes, and designs are available, the cost to build custom closets ranges from $250 to $6,000 or more. A reach-in closet is on the lower end of the price range from about $250 to $1,500, compared to a walk-in closet at $750 to $3,500 or a wardrobe at the high end between $1,500 and $6,000 or more.
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 reach-in closet 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.
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 closet lighting. A permit can cost between $100 and $450. If you’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.
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.
Yes, building a custom closet can definitely add value to your home. Creating a more useful and pleasing space to your home, especially a custom closet for prospective home buyers to imagine as their own, is likely to increase the value. However, avoid overdoing it with a closet that takes up too much space that’s otherwise more useful as living space, or paying extra for overly lavish materials and finishes that aren’t likely to add more value than they cost.
