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: Is hanging or folding clothes more efficient?

• <div><p>Hanging and folding clothes are efficient ways to pack your clothes during a move. When choosing a packing method, consider the type of clothing you&rsquo;re packing. For example, clothing such as dresses, suits, blouses, and items made of silk and similar fabrics are ideal for hangers. On the other hand, it&rsquo;s easier to fold pants, shorts, t-shirts, thick sweaters, and more.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a custom closet?

• <div><p>The time it takes to build a closet varies widely depending on the project's size, complexity, and level of customization. On average, construction can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks.</p><p>A simple reach-in closet might be completed in less than a day, while a more complex walk-in closet could take one to two days or more. A typical project often falls in the 2-to-5-day range. However, a large, highly customized walk-in closet that requires structural changes, like moving a load-bearing wall, will take significantly longer.</p><p>A professional contractor can provide the most accurate time estimate for your specific project. If you are planning a DIY build, it is best to budget additional time.</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: How should I secure DIY home office built-ins to the wall?

• <div><p>When you are securing your DIY home office built-ins to the wall, you should start by<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm"> locating the wall studs</a>. You'll then want to use long screws to attach the cabinets, shelves, and bookcases directly to the wall studs. Your built-ins will be far too heavy to attach to the drywall alone by using anchors.</p></div>

Jill was awesome! I booked her for 1 and 1/2 days - thinking that would be needed for my kitchen. She did the kitchen in 1/2 day - and came back to do bedroom closets, etc. She's a gem - lovely to work with - and worth every dime! I'd still be looking at towers of boxes.
