Get matched with top closet pros in Eliot, ME

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>

Q: How do I find something in storage?

• <div><p>We use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/storage-ideas-every-room-your-house.htm">storage in nearly every room of the house</a>, so it's no surprise that we lose track of things from time to time. The best way to organize storage is to declutter each year to cut down on auxiliary items that can be donated or tossed. Once you decide what's worth keeping, create an inventory list for all boxes you won't open for at least six months.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent closet shelves from sagging?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I save money with wire shelves instead of wood shelves?

• <div><p>You can budget a little less money for how to build a closet with wire shelves than with wood shelves. Some people don&rsquo;t like the aesthetics that wire shelves provide, though, meaning they&rsquo;ll gladly spend a little more to add wood shelves to the build. If you decide to buy pre-made wire shelves instead of building custom-sized wood shelves, you&rsquo;ll be restricted in the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/closet-shelving-dimensions.htm">closet shelving dimensions</a> you can use.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a custom closet?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid overloading shelves, and check hardware for wear to ensure longevity.</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.

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
