"I was very disappointed with Patti. There were a number of problems with the remodel but two stand out. First she put a corner unit in the design and told me to get a counter depth fridge so it would open. I contacted the fridge person she recommended, picked a fridge and emailed her the specs. Turns out counter depth fridges are still larger than counter depth at least this one was and the corner door does not open properly now. She would not even come to visit to inspect the problem. Once she is paid she washes her hands of the project. Do not pay up front. Refuse. The second problem was that I originally wanted a bamboo cabinet material but that was 20 per cent more expensive so I settled with plain maple. She asked me if I wanted the grain horizonal or longitudinal. I thought horizonal sounded cool. She made a mistake the engineered maple which was 20% more only came in horizontal so when I got my kitchen it was of course engineered maple. I had warned her before she ordered that based on other quotes I got I think she had made a mistake because the kitchen quote should have been cheaper. I implored her to double check her calculations but she did not and when the kitchen came I knew why I was right. She ordered the wrong wood for my kitchen. If I wanted to pay the extra 20% I would have wanted the bamboo. Again no response from her for the mistake. I would not recommend her. The least she could have done was given me a partial refund of what it should have cost me to get the regular grain maple. I did not expect a full refund of the difference because I did get a higher end grain. Although I honestly think that I would have like the regular grain better. This is a conservative area and it would have also been better for resale. Do not recommend her at all."

The addition of a properly installed built-in closet will generally make a home more competitive on the market and increase its sales price. If, however, you are converting an existing room into a walk-in closet, it will likely drive the value downward. The balance between utility and value is hard to get right, but generally speaking, if you add utility with a built-in closet that doesn’t detract much from the square footage of the room, then you’ll likely add value to your home.
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.
Adding a mudroom is one of the most budget-friendly home additions compared to other projects, costing between $8,000 and $16,000 on average. Not only is the room often quite small, but it also requires minimal fixtures or wiring to make the room practical. The most costly features include a weatherproof floor and an exterior door.
How many days it takes to remodel a closet will also depend on the scale of the project. Small changes like installing a prefab kit will eat up an afternoon and no more, while a total renovation could require several days to a week. If you’re planning for the latter, plan to secure other sleeping arrangements while construction is ongoing.
You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items.
